We had a guy show up this summer an tell me to dump a cord of split pine in his truck . Swore up and down it would fit lol . Even bet me $1 . After the first half cord pallet rounded his truck he handed me the $1 and I kept it with a smile .
Usually 2-3 times per season I will deliver 2/3 of a cord at once with my 03 Dodge 2500 (2 IBC totes of split wood in the bed). Only for short distances though. Glad to see the firewood racks are movin!
I know my F250 can hold a cord(and handle it) with sides on it, but i like it too much to haul that much weight all at once. Glad Gramps 8s enjoying the comments. 😉👍
Hey Russ the Tundra, did good 2ith holding 1cord of Wood. Nice Splitting of the Ash Rounds with you and Kevin. Staying in today, and Recovering a little more. Going out tomorrow for 1hour cutting Rounds up. I will split them In the Basement during the Week. Just to Wet out today but going to be Pushing 50 out Tomorrow. You stay Safe out there my Friend. Ron from the Woodyard in Upstate NY.
Around here they add sideboard extensions to raise the height. They’ll load two cords 😮. My oak supplier’s f150’s receiver hitch rides about 3 inches off the ground, lol😂.
Yeah buddy, 1/2 cord of split on my Tundra is just fine. Maybe some day I’ll cut some plywood for the sides and heap a cord on but for now the dump trailer is just fine. Haha 👍👊
That’s a lot of wood on a Tundra, Russ. I personally wouldn’t put half of that on, lol. You answered my question while I was still watching your video…. Half of the 🪵. Well done to the both of you. Russ. How long does it take for your hardwood to dry after you split it? Mine takes nearly two years.
Russ I know it's already to late but are you going to put a head ace rack on the Tundra so you don't lose another window ? Nice load of wood guy's 👍, I built sides so I can pile 4foot high on my old F250 & I haul a cord & a half dry spruce, But 3/4 ton & 8foot box :) Way back in some of my first videos I go out with truck & trailer for a 3 cord day :) just about done me in for a week lol !
Have watched your chanl, enjoy it , like your ingenuity , your truck will grunt a bit with a full cord, it then, that's what they are supposed to do, right! Stay warm it's ❤-24 C in east central Alberta
I been using the same unloader and it works somewhat with split firewood. Have to hand unload the end near tailgate then crank some off the truck. Then there's a bunch left in and have to jump in and hand unload the rest 😢
With a standard 8 foot pick up bed, a 1/2 ton truck will easily carry a full cord, 4x4x8= one cord. Some guys may have sideboards on their truck to keep the pile together but I have hauled a full cord on my trucks plenty of times without issue. It’s heavy but if your vehicle has decent suspension and tires you’re good to go.
Willey as I am sure you are aware Maine Law states two ways to measure a cord. Left in the round and 4' length, it measures 4' x 4' x 8'. Once processed, by Maine Law, a thrown or loose cord must measure a minimum of 180 cubic feet.Be nice to know if other states have such laws? Maybe your viewers can comment?
@WilleysFirewood Sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't too expensive to get ir replaced. That's the reason I got mine. Less possibly of something breaking the window. It also gives me extra tie down points.
@@marshillmike yup that's why the last row is hanging out on the tailgate it was actually about .8 because I didn't stack tall near the window. Already have 1 broken 🤦🏻♂️
@@WilleysFirewood right. It's all I can do is get a rick and a quarter of a rick on my truck. Like today. I had so much wood on the back of my truck that I couldn't see out my back glass. But it wasn't a full cord. It was more like a cord and a quarter of another rick. But I'm planning on getting a flat bed truck
Willy & kevin great video on a true cord off firewood 🪵. Wet firewood 🪵 run 1800 lbs over 2000 lbs easy . Great 👍 your moving firewood 🪵 from the wood 🪵 yard . ALL THE BEST IN 2025 sale . I’m relaxing today on my B day enjoying a cool rooster 🐔 foot 🦶 on beaver 🦫 ice . Known the rock 🪨 as whiskey 🥃 beautiful day to have time with my grandkids 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊!
Good video and you sold a lot out of the rack you just have to get it refilled back up and delivery of wood can take it's toll on you just stay warm and hydrated and stay safe eating your dog food you can move the splitter back to make it easier but don't know what you have going on so do what needs to be done thanks for posting have a good day my friend
@@WilleysFirewood that was a messed up reply don't know said about eating dog food don't know where that came from don't make sense but I'll use the I'm old excuse lol take care my friend
It was probably .8 or so because I didn't stack the row up by the cab as I already have one broken window 🤦🏻♂️. It was more to make an illustration rather that an actual measurement but good eye.

Another great video today. The current log splitter is a great machine. Looking forward to seeing the new one in action.
@@mlj6419 the new one is going to turn some heads for sure!
Get one of those clamp on hitch receivers for your skid steer bucket. Makes moving the conveyor/splitter around your yard much easier
I'll have to try that out! Thanks for the tip.

not the 1st item i have forgotten behind. Glad you found another device to act as a handle
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead we got the handle back this afternoon
Great video boys! Beautiful ash splits! Gettin’ er done…!!! ✅
@@kenskuts ash is my favorite firewood for sure
you and Kevin work really good togather. That sure is some prime ash firewood yall got. Keep up the good work
@@ronniecrook6313 yes sir we don't get it very often but it sure is nice when we do!
Evening Russ. The Toyota took it like a champ. Great trucks. Glad to hear gramps enjoyed all the comments.
@@OpenAirAdventure Toyotas are one of if not the toughest trucks made
Hey Russ and Kevin. You need call a limousine builder to make the tundra bed little bigger!
@@lillysfarmandfirewood you might be onto something a stretched Tundra!
Great splitting session!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
@@davidedwards3734 ash is one of my favorites aside from oak. They both split so nice.

It’s crazy what people call a full cord. Loose thrown truck beds full lol. I miss my All Wood.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I love my Allwood splitter can't wait for the new Musclewood.
Good looking wood
@@patshannon8899 beautiful ash for sure.
Nice work Guy’s !! Great Truck !🔥🪵👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
@@Living-The-Dream Toyota make one tough truck that's for sure.
Great video Russ and Kevin. We just traded our Tundra , great trucks.
@@MillersStumpsandFirewood712 they make a very tough truck that's for sure!
Tacoma are smaller but just as tough as Tundras. Chris at In the Woodyard has a Tundra with over a quarter million miles (approximately) on it.
@WilleysFirewood I still have and Love my Tacoma.
@ a Tacoma is a tough truck for sure!
@ Toyotas are really tough vehicles for sure! I'm very happy with mine
Another good show brothers, keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood thanks Travis!
Yeah buddy, 1/2 cord of split on my Tundra is just fine. Maybe some day I’ll cut some plywood for the sides and heap a cord on but for now the dump trailer is just fine. Haha
👍👊
This way purely for yard use. I wouldn't run 1 full cord on this truck it is too much for it 🤣
never doubt the Tundra buddy. Haha
That’s a lot of wood on a Tundra, Russ. I personally wouldn’t put half of that on, lol. You answered my question while I was still watching your video…. Half of the 🪵.
Well done to the both of you.
Russ. How long does it take for your hardwood to dry after you split it? Mine takes nearly two years.
I'd never put a whole cord on the truck for a delivery but 1/2 is very comfortable. Most of our wood takes 6-9 months to season unless it's oak.
Happy new year to you and all your viewers. Peace
Happy New Year to you as well!
Very nice video
Thank you very much.
That’s a load! Your splitter is bad ass!
Our Allwood splitter is amazing. The amount of wood that this thing splits is phenomenal
Great video. Good demonstration on one cord in a truck. 👍🏻
Have a great day. 🪵🪓🔥👋👋👍🏻👍🏻
@@noelstractors-firewood57 thanks so much for dropping by!
Your splitter is very fast considering its strength Russ!
@@oakiewoodsman it does amazing for us. 2000 full cords and still cranking along!
@ awesome and $800,000 in wood through it! 😳
Curious where is the new splitter ??????
Hoping to get the call this week to head out after it!
That’s Awsome. Glad to hear. Happy new year
@ happy new years to you as well.
Great set-up, maybe I’m missing it but please protect your hearing.
I 75% of the time have earplugs in. I get tired of hearing the drone of the equipment at full volume. Thanks for watching.

@@Bigeoutdoors6 yeah it's a help just the same until we get a dump insert. Cut unloading time in 1/2 I'd say.
Wouldn't look like that in my 1/2 ton. 8ft box. But the front would be 9' in the air😅
In this case the airbags make all the difference in the world but if never take it down the road loaded like this.
another great video
@@RobbieTrimm thank you sir. We just bring you guys to work with us so that you can see what we do. Nothing fancy just old fashioned work
shame it so far away or i sure would. cant get any logs for abit
@@RobbieTrimm I have a feeling it will be that way here after the rain we have coming.
Thanks for showing that cord of wood in the back of the truck! Super interesting!
@@oakiewoodsman it just is a real nice visual that not a lot of people see often
@ interesting for sure!

I agree it can be done. We have lots of guys up here showing up with 1/2 cord loads trying to pass them off as full cords.

So, do your customers order green wood?
@@MsLori62 yes all our wood is advertised and sold as green.
that was cool to see a cord in that truck
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead I just wanted a good visual for people. I think it shows my point well.
Cool video.
You need a Headache Rack on your truck.
@@christopherort2889 yeah it would have saved the window 🤦🏻♂️
@WilleysFirewood
Sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't too expensive to get ir replaced.
That's the reason I got mine. Less possibly of something breaking the window.
It also gives me extra tie down points.
Is that a 6 1/2 foot bed?
@@marshillmike yup that's why the last row is hanging out on the tailgate it was actually about .8 because I didn't stack tall near the window. Already have 1 broken 🤦🏻♂️
I look at the back glass and I’m thinking get a sheet of ply wood and cut to protect back glass 55 bucks
Back glass 1400
Yup it was an accident waiting to happen and it did. Oh well just a window I suppose
Dang. That's something I would do on loading my dodge ram 1500.
