When you gonna make some racks for that truck and get a man sized load?:p:whistle::wacky::salute:
A lot of what I have learned for technique is watching the guy on log landings who bucks logs all day long. Another thing that is a must, logs...
Look at the video I posted in #15. When wood is really dirty, I plunge cut virtually every piece in order to minimize the dirt pulled towards...
Yup, if the wood is dirty the 395 and ported 288 with 404 semi chisel and hard nosed bars. I've got a Dolmar 7900 that has been sitting on the...
The machine my buddies use is small enough they can haul themselves and pull with Freightliner, (I think) On/Off road forwarder from one job to...
As I said before, the area where I live is what is called the "drift less area". What that means is the glaciers during the ice age missed this...
A few seem fixated on the low temps I am experiencing and jumping to the conclusion that the design is "faulty". The low temps in the fluid...
I try and make rounds 16" in order t have 16" splits but that is not always possible. I cut log cut offs from log landings. By definition they...
These things are incredible, they run chains all year long. The hardhat picture was kind of a joke. The landowner who was down South for the...

The builder advised me to just drain 5 or 10 gallon out. Being stubborn I just don't want to. The funny thing is during the build I was...
Guessing about 22 right now, should get a few more loads but as I said above, getting myself stuck is not in the equation. My logger friends are...
WESF To answer both your questions. My garage is heated at 45 degrees but the hydraulics are so well laid out with a dump valve, very little...
The snow is gotten to difficult to get around in. It's very icy, lots of drifts and very dense corn snow that can get me stuck. I started...
I've got a pile of Tsmura bars, never greased a one. Got them [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] for $38-42 each so I bought a bunch.
It was in super tough shape when I got it. The handle was cracked so it is now glued and screwed although I have a fresh handle for it. The...
Replicate with reckless abandon. The handle is a closet rod for hanging clothes on.
Log Rite makes good stuff. When I replaced the tip on both of mine, I kept the old tip and made a 6' long pickaroon for unloading the 8' truck....
