“Cage Tote” Firewood Storage

“Cage Tote” Firewood Storage WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Chain Saws Glenn Fisher needed an inexpensive way to haul and store split wood that he uses in his home furnace so he converted a pair of 300-gal metal cage totes “I had been splitting wood and storing it in a barn then carrying it by hand into our home ” says Fisher “The cage totes come mounted on wood pallets so I can use my small 30 hp loader tractor to haul the cages from the barn to our porch I just open the front door to our home and get all the firewood I need It’s an unbelievably convenient firewood handling system ” He used a screwdriver to pop the plastic tank out of the cage then used a bolt cutter to cut a 12 by 28-in opening into one side of the cage He used a hand-operated grinder to smooth off any jagged edges in the opening “I converted two totes this way ” says Fisher “The red oak wood I use is very heavy so I fill each tote only about half full I just throw the wood in over the top and let it lay where it falls If I need to I can stack one tote on top of the other ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Glenn Fisher 751 Boling Rd Homer Ga 30547 ph 706 658-7586 or 423 364-0158
