And ... pellets are made from what? To some, it's mostly about the economics, or the comfort level. That could be part. Leaving carbon...
What Dennis said ^^^. For local taste, Granberg file guide w/suitable files, el-cheapo NT stump-vise, Husqy combo-helmet, 3" pocket wedge from...
Okay, so much for the sizzle, now where's the steak? :p :sleeping:
Depending, maybe a quick hit on the bandsaw, and into the roofed ugly-bin for shoulder-season. Toss 'em in up top, pull 'em out below- works like...
I refuse to touch one of the bitsy-piecy jugs again. I've got a 5 and 1.5 gal poly gas jug with super-simple flex spout (mit separate cap), and...
Rock Elm? Some species of oak? Smell will tell a lot, now that you're up-close & personal. :saw:
One thing I've "discovered" with the realy good mauls, is that protecting the handle near the head has been taken care of, by the shape of the...
As a general rule, no. Most of it is cut as "cookies"- thin slices. Much of the wood at this GTG is cut for shop heating the next winter, at...
I've had great results with Maasdam "Pow'r-Pull" cable winches. Also made in the US. The half-ton I've used since the mid-'70s. The 1-ton is a...
Welcome aboard, Kyle. One fellow you'll likely want to meet is member 166, as in Dolmar 166, at his shop "The Cutting Edge" a bit NE of Saratoga....
That's where I've come to love my polesaw & brushcutter. Lots of vines at all levels in the woods around here, so any means of reducing footwork...
Back to your 42 cc Poulan for a minute, if I may. Been running one for a few years as a backup, and found a few things. 1. Keep the chain snug....
You heard me right- "drop start", really. Happens that I do it with the bar pointing away from me, and aggressively throw the saw away. Works...
No problems with the saw per se. Couple operator problems, like when I'd leave wedges over in the truck and pinch the bar, or when a big black...
I've had a Wetterlings 5.5 lb maul for a couple years now. Looks exactly like the Husqy (Hultafors), but price tag was about twice that of the...
Yup, the Dolly has GREAT A/V. Smooth as silk. I've had mine almost 2 yrs now, and still like it a lot. With strato engine, a tankful lasts almost...
Ducking a "chair" on the first tree- a BIG plus. (Betchyer looking up bore-cutting; saves dentures and changes of shorts. :rolleyes: )...
They sure do, but you gradually moisten their innards with sweat. They're cheap enough to carry a second pair, to switch off. The Atlas gloves, I...
Doug, when you feel the need of heavier artillery, look for a refurb PP5020. Big thing: chain-filing often & well.
For temps above freezing, Atlas Therma Fit ($3-4/pr). Lower temps- Memphis Ninja Ice ($5/pr). Both have indestructible latex palms, with great...
