New Holland T 7.190 | Picture made by PieterA
Feb. 18, 2023 Photo of a New Holland T 7.190 with 2 wagons of poplar. We burn wood. In the house we do have natural gas central heating, but the boiler only turns on when we use hot water, i.e. for washing and cooking. This is in our 1988 house with 5 family members 48 cubic meters of gas on the month. The house is heated with wood. The central heating jumps on below 15 degrees. Fortunately, it never gets that. The thermostat is in the kitchen and there we aim for 18 degrees. That is a pleasant temperature for us to eat or cook at. The wood stove is in the living room. When we sit there in the evening, the temperature by the couch in front of the stove is about 21 degrees. My wife is at the house a lot in the winter; she occasionally throws a log on the stove. Our son fetches a few specie tubs of wood after school and or in the evenings. We mostly fire free wood, which around here often means poplar. I don't have a big saw; a 1997 husqvarna. This year I could only get wood if I put in a little more effort. So a crane was there for 2 hours to flatten trees and the contractor was there for 5 hours with a big chainsaw, to cut the trees down and to cut the thickness logs at 40 cm length. What you see here is about 25 cubic meters of stacked wood (35 cubic meters loose) The children and schoolchildren split the wood. We put the thick large disks on the splitter with the forklift. No one else is allowed to touch my chainsaw; I do that myself. We cut these wagons in 3 hours. 2 cans of lubricant through it. Splitting takes a bit longer; about 2 cubic meters per hour. So we made 53 cubic yards of cleaved lumber this year. My parents fire 12 cubic meters of it in one winter and we 16 cubic meters. Some of the wood is in cubic crates outside and some is loose-laid in the old barn.
