    :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    It can't be all that bad can it?? Rash and all??

    My buddies is pretty nice. It's had a little work done but I found it to be a solid saw. I don't really care for the high top air filter area, which is also why I was considering a 365 "IF" I don't locate a MS461...

    It’s not mine to give away. A friend was showing me his new saw. I did offer to take his dirty 371 off his hands.

    now that I’ve wasted 1/2 a day restacking, I can fire up the splitter and make more crumbling stacks

    Something to do with Hickory and stacking to high. My Hickory stacks are giving me hell and teaching me that 6’ is too high.

    Purdier than a new set of snow tires. Trying to hurry up, so I can get back to sawing.

    Hmm....my stacks aren't near that high or have the amount you have stacked up. I will for sure remember this while stacking though.

    It’s the neighbor’s truck and it’s gas, but it’s in good condition. Can’t say I’ve seen a nicer one.

    Those 2nd Gen Cummins trucks are some of my favorites... even though the VP44 pumps are not the most reliable.

    Yes, that could be a contributing factor.

    Is the wood just stacked on the ground?

    It’s on pallets, or 2x4’s with brackets. We’ve had a lot of rain, so I think it a combination of super saturated ground, shrinkage and gravity. Hickory splits are heavy and irregular and seem determined to find ground.

    Alright chud. Like the pictures and the tractor. Looks like it could be a 3000 or 4000. At least in that series of tractors that ford made.

    Still have a ways for spring here.
