    Hello, glad to find this site lots of good info.
    Been burning for about 10 years now. Hotblast 1537g in a 13x13 room in my basement going to upgrade to a Drolet Tundra this summer. I have a neighbor that has 120 acers. That lets me cut all the wood I want. It was loged last winter so there more tops than I can cut. I cut with a Husqvarna 455 Rancher 20" bar. 2001 Chevy 1500 4x4 farm truck & 5x8 wood trailer (old boat trailer). have no idea what kind of log spliter it is but it works great. My wood shed is about 20x20 and I use about 75% for wood.

    Welcome WV. 120 acres of tree tops should keep you busy.

    Welcome to the forum WV.

    Having all the tops to cut on has to be very nice indeed. Now if we can talk you into getting on the 3 year plan you'll love it.

    Yeah that looks like the one my cutting buddy and I borrow from an old highschool mate, except yours looks like it's got a much newer motor.

    Welcome WVW, looks good, I really wish we had the farm use law for trucks here.(your window lettering) I only farm wood with mine but still have to license it.

    The farm Use cost my $2 a year (state sticker) plus insurance $30 year. I can drive it up to 30 miles from my house.

    Whats the 3 year plan? I try to keep wood cut a year ahead if thats what your talking about.
