My current avatar is "Anastasy" our breeding Icelandic ram. He's a hunk, a hunk of burning love. Can't wait to see his lambs this Spring.
These pictures are from the morning of opening day of PA gun season (I only shoot archery). Notice the time stamps on the bottom. Whatever, it...
I use this log hitch Log Hitch almost the same as farmer steve 's. I've skidded 25-30" diameter 16' green oak logs with it, no problems. Great tool.
I'd be a little careful with the New Holland Compact/Subcompacts. Their bigger tractors are nice though.
Some of them are o.k., hit-or-miss. They build the engines and put them in bodies from Korea or Japan. Some of their Mitsubishi-based tractors...
Hoobers is supposed to be very good. A member here works there. Messicks is good. Nice people and huge inventory of parts. Never compared prices
I very lucky that Messicks is like 20 minutes away from me.
Definitely consider getting your 026 rebuilt and ported. It should be the same or less money as a new "homeowner" saw for a far superior saw.

Keep leaning toward Kubota. They are excellent. As huskihl says, the "L" series is designed as a no-frills work horse, lower-price machine....
Damaged tree repairing itself. Lots of ingrown bark. Not burl.
That tractor should last for a couple more lifetimes. Great score there!
As I was writing, I realized that there are two separate issues here: 1) materials: steel, jacketed steel, cast iron and soapstone 2) reburn...
You might think so, but as I said, the cast iron on the Alderlea is pure cosmetic. You can easily touch the sides when the stove box is at...
The rain held off until about 8:30, which was a lot better than I expected. No deer though. Oh well. Time to go to the office now.
There was a solid hour of dryness to start the morning. Now the sprinkles start. Hope the hard rain holds off for a little while longer. I've...
HAH! It has being raining/flooding yet again here.
I have a T5. It is a great stove and completely simply. You are right though that the temp/heat output cycle is more extreme tham a cat stove....
dunno.
