They're getting close. This tree is in the Magnolia family, so once the actual seeds are ripe the pod itself dessicates and shrinks and "releases"...
This week while I was cutting some ash trees, I knocked a small limb out of a cucumber tree. That thing was LOADED with the fruit/seed pods -...
Yep, a lot of ours have been dead and down for a few years now. And once it starts falling apart in chunks, I don’t use it for firewood, just not...
The slightly cooler temperatures as this week ended and the urgency to scavenge what's left of our standing ash trees while they were still worth...
Why not prep the stove and a piece of scrap at the same time, thin the Stove Brite and shoot the scrap, then if results are good move on to the stove?
I didn’t look closely until others mentioned it, but holy cow that thing is rough! Reckon one of those boat launch geniuses you see on the videos...
I hope she dances a real jig for you, or maybe a sweet waltz. Haha. One reason I hate shopping is because I seem to be able to always talk myself...
I'd always been told by the "old folks" when I was a kid that birds wouldn't nest in black locust trees because they drew lightning. I'm an "old...
I had looked at that Bulldog 9.5 also. Etrailer has it with synthetic rope for $573 with free shipping....
It's hard to find duty cycle information on winches on manufacturer's websites. I was looking at the Bulldog 4400 because of its listed line speed...
Holy cow! Just got quoted $1.95 here, because we fill tanks at four houses (all our family) at the same time and we're frequent customers. Normal...
Daggone! That's bad news all the way around. Hope I didn't jinx you by asking about your winch! o_O
I've had good luck with those clamps, but I fold the edge of the tarp around a small stick (about half the size of a pencil, or so), then insert...
Thank you! Even though it’s a gooseneck, it’s not a huge trailer - 7x12, 12k gross I believe. I doubt I would need to winch anything as big and...
Good tip, thank you! My trailer is a gooseneck so there’s already a frame up pretty high, so that part should be easy enough. Any specific winch...
Thanks for the tip on the winch; I did not know the difference. I have a dump trailer and here on the farm I usually load it with the skidsteer....
Thank you very much, I appreciate the explanation and all the details. I like your "foot", too - great idea! I was trying to figure out how the...
I’m curious about how you load your trailer - looks like maybe you get the front end of the log started up onto the trailer with the overhead...
I can’t say. I put this on my saw at the same time I removed the short bolt-in baffle pipe and opened up the external baffles on the removable...
The upgrade uses an Echo pleated “paper” cartridge filter, from either the CS-400 or 450, if I remember correctly. No chance of air leaks (if...
