I thought that was a Massey-Harris. Neat unit. My cousin had a small one. I don't know the model. It was just small. He grew 45 acres of...
The Old Man had an Allis-Chalmers WD-40 with the tricycle front wheels. Very, very similar to that tractor. (Is that a Massey?) Straight rack...
I got the best I could out of it. Now when a person tells me they're getting a tree dropped I tell them to have it left in as long a pieces as...
Looking at the cuts on that main trunk reminded me of a few years back. Guy calls me to come get a White Oak he had dropped in his yard. He had...
Great information. Thank you. I'm at sea level with much higher humidity. But, this matches my observations over the years. A guy gave me a...
Sweet Gum! No doubt. I've dealt with way too much of it over the years.
I doesn't take soft ground. I have a rack on a concrete pad and had the outside row come over. It was all Beech. It just doesn't stack that...
When it gets like that I've always heard it called "Poison Oak." Not sure if it's the same as Poison Ivy or not. But, the effects are the same....
The Watermen on the Eastern Shore of Maryland use "jag" to describe anything that's a good-sized quantity. "Got into a nice jag of oysters this...
Beech is good wood. If you hand split it doesn't have the manners of Oak. Some pieces will fly apart, others that look straight will have a...
I got into a big jag of Beech about five years ago. It burns fine, but doesn't coal as well as white oak. For a hand splitter it's a very...
I burn what I can get. But, I go way out of my way for White Oak. Splits like a dream (hand splitter), stores well, stacks well, and lasts...
Kevin, do you have extra leaf springs in that pickup truck? That's a big load of wet wood. I'd be on the frame stops with that big a load.
Agreed! The twisted wedge is phenomenal. I have one of those and a smaller GB twisted wedge. They're a terrific team.
Who is making the maul for Husky? Looks a bit like a Wetterlings.
The wood looks wrong for Linden. It's very white and doesn't have that much grain.
Really light wood. Almost white with seemingly no grain. Lousy firewood. When it's dry it's very light.
The Helko twisted wedge is excellent. I have a small GB that is also very good when starting a split because it is small. The Helko is quite a...
Beautiful wood piles. Excellent.
I have two of them on my stove. One is a 2-blade and the other a 3-blade. Had them for over 15 years. One now needs a nudge to get it going....
