The line crosses my driveway about 400' uphill from this location. I've had to fell several trees in directions they didn't want to go, in order...
Yeah I was surprised it didn't break a pole either. Those poles are 50+ years old. However, the butt of the branch is supported by the hickory...
Yea, there's no cable here. That's just a copper telephone/DSL cable. It's older than me, probably installed sometime in the early 1960's....
I was thinking something similar. There are several other large trees in the immediate area, I was going to look into rigging a pulley or snatch...
...was discovered while out on a walk to a section of my property I rarely venture. Most of the trees in this area are healthy oaks, hickories...
Happy to say I got them all (12/12), although the one tree they had indicated as yellow birch did not look right to me. Looked much more like an...
Stihl puts green bars and low-kickback (safety) chain, also with a green link, on all of their "homeowner" grade saws. That's somewhat of a...
I too am a civil engineer and surveyor and most of my life's work has been done in feet/tenths/hundredths. I still use engineer's tapes all the...
No tamarack/larch available there? That chart seems wrong, based on half-a-dozen other references. Tamarack should be somewhere around 20...
Hose. Water. Aim high. Payback.
I've owned several Echo weed wackers and still have one, also have a mini-tiller (Mantis clone). Have had to change or clean a few carbs over the...
That's cherry? Looks like black birch from here. Never seen cherry bark peel off and curl like that, even on the smaller pieces.
I have a 2004 Ram 1500, getting tired, looking to trade in on a newer Ram. Thanks for the info on the load capacity. Guess I'll be looking at a...
I am NOT discounting safety features wholesale. I believe that there is a certain limit as to how "safe" you can make a machine before you start...
Well, it ain't elm. I'd say cottonwood. Bark sure looks like it.
Northern Tool used to have cordura tarps. Not sure they still do. My father bought one 10+ years ago and aside from a couple mouse holes, it's...
I'll give you another two cents worth. I own both Stihl and Dolmar, have run the 044/046/440/460 series saws and the 6400/7300/7900 Dolmars on...
Too late, it's already cut up into little pieces. Some of the beams were 16" x 20"..... LOL. OK so it was a lame April Fool's joke. I'll have...
I've just been given a whole truckload of old beams and boards from the demolition of a barn. Not sure what it is, but the contractor said it...
Not trying to be a safety Nazi, but if that saw kicks back, your neck is right in the line of fire. Right hand should always be on the trigger,...
