Can't really mistake a morel for anything else though. I've got a few weeks before I start seeing them.
For $5 a cord I'll hire someone to go get it and I'll take whatever they have. Even if it's 60" diameter butt logs from a willow tree. OK, maybe...
I saw that ad and I didn't even notice the $5 a cord price. Something like that is always too good to be true anyway.
I looked at Mahindra when I was tractor-shopping, they were decent but the two things that turned me off were the poor fit and finish, and the FEL...
Thanks for the advice, guys. I looked up all of the carts and wagons you listed, and while some aren't appropriate, I'm going to take a closer...
I know my avatar photo is small and hard to see, but I don't have a floor in mine. It's a bed of wood chips and then pallets on top of that....
I want to buy a wagon for hauling firewood and other stuff around the yard. When I was a kid there were always little red four-wheel wagons...
The closeup is helpful - few species have those radial rays. Some kind of oak, maybe not one of the more common species? I have a lot of...
It looks to me like a slow-grown black birch. Does it have a strong wintergreen smell?
Yeah that's honey locust.
I like the idea of drilling a bunch of 3/4" holes in the top of the stump, filling them with diesel or kerosene, and then burning it out. Put a...
You bet your ash that's what it is. Good stuff. All I burned this past winter was a mix of white pine and ash.
Thanks for all the encouragement. I think if I can recruit a kid or two to help me out, I may just buck it up and stack it in place in the woods.
I believe you're correct. Although it usually comes in the form of, "why don't you drop it off and we'll see where we can fit it in". Um, no, I...
Having gone through this myself, twice now, here's some thoughts. I had exactly the same needs as you, except that I use mine for snow removal....
Let's say that I have cabin fever and just got to get outside to cut some wood. I want to walk around in the woods and just drop a bunch of trees...
No problem. Definitely not an expert but I have some experience. The kind of lumber you want to produce will have a bearing on the mill you...
There are several ways to get into milling, from my perspective: 1. You have a lot of logs and a good way to use up the end product, or you have...
My favorite time is late October through early December. Leaves are off the trees, sap is down, ground not really frozen yet, no mud, and days...
I really can't keep good track of my wood use because I burn year-round for both heat and hot water, but I'm probably only about half a cord ahead...
