40/66. Lit a fire yesterday and just let it burn all day and relit this morning. Letting the brick structure heat up and radiate mainly to keep...
Yes I’d believe that. My 7.3 doesn’t like the cold very much but it will start. My bobcat seems indifferent. It runs a bit rough for 10 seconds...
That’s pretty good! I wonder if battery life could be extended substantially if a trickle charger is used as well. Never tested it, just a thought.
65 inside so lit a fire. I know the temps are supposed to drop all day and stay stagnant for the week. Figured I’d burn and just run the blower if...
[ATTACH] Took the Bobcat to help a friend out and get some large logs hauled back to my place. His dad had been cutting and splitting a lot so...
Woke up to 64 in the house. Tossed a half dozen oak splits in and have a small fire going. May not even turn the blower on.
I am still working on a 10 pack of chains from Bailey’sonline.com I bought a LONG time ago. I think it was $100 for the whole thing at that time....
Uncle has a tractor with a grapple. I cut the trunk into 6’ sections, chained them and he pulled them out. Then we chained the biggest limbs and...
It’s easier to split hedge by hand, and I mean the wavy tree line kind. I wish I took pictures of the wavy grain in this beech.
That’s a lot of log on the splitter!
I would say since we moved to Michigan last year I’ve split 95% by hand. 99% with the x27. I have one of the fiskars mauls but it collects dust....
I noticed in the btu and drying chart that 12 months for American Beech was enough. I’ll have to keep this separate when I stack it in totes to...
30 cords of noodling?!?!? That’s a lotta mulch to get rid of!
Big logs! They’re fun to work with once in a while. Not sure I’d want to process them exclusively though.
This will keep me busy for a week or so. I am still on the prowl for loads of logs. I really need to get around to the tree guys and see if they...
40/63, just lit a fire to take the chill off. More oak as usual.
No progress on getting the new build going so hauled home 2 loads of big oak from a friend’s house. I’ll keep a couple of big rounds for a sawing...
I wanted a smaller saw but was unsure of how much I’d use it so I grabbed a Neotec 846 (I think) for about $120-$130. Ms250 clone. I replaced the...
30/65, oak. Found some rain soaked oak to burn. Oops. Good thing it’s almost chimney cleaning season! Hauled a load of oak logs to help a friend...
30 out, 61 in. Oak heating up the house. Pork butt on the Weber with charcoal and oak. I split all the logs I had yesterday (cheated and used the...
