Here's a pic of how I attach the choker to the box scraper to lift the heavy ends off the ground. I like having the box scraper while backing down...
Nice to meet you! I see he escaped to Wyoming, good call! :thumbs: Brad
Good looking wood! Bark is starting to fall off but no rot, score!
We moved to Pollock Pines in 2000. The snow started in late September and the last snow was in July. We couldn't afford to heat the house...
I don't carry much because I'm never that far from my vehicle. I have a wedge holder on my belt that also has a tourniquet strapped on the loop. I...
I scored some pine from my neighbors tree guy. They removed two big trees and didn't want the wood so I had them drop it in my driveway. Well,...
Its part of an old cattle ranch that was subdivided in the 70's. Most of the property is blue oaks with some buckeye and live oak mixed in. It's...
Thanks! I'm starting from scratch on the wood hoarding here so trying to get a few years ahead. I'm burning oak that has been seasoned for a year...
It's too hard to get the rounds out. My pickup can't get all the way down there so I would have to carry the rounds uphill. For most I can choke...
I understand completely! We used to live in the mountains with a one hour commute on a good day and two hours if it snowed. We ended up moving...

If its on my land I'll skid big sections of the tree to the landing where I will CSS all in one place. Otherwise I cut and load the rounds and...
Its a huge mess! We bought this property a little over a year ago. We had to remove a dozen trees around the house for fire insurance so I was...
The landing is full, time to start cutting! Brad [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The Massey did a good job skidding up the fairly steep slope (for a tractor). It has the Ag tires mounted wide for a little extra stability. I'm...
We have a break in the rain long enough the ground is pretty solid. In the back of our land there is a ravine with a creek at the bottom. The...
Looks good! You will love that stove. It's the easiest stove I've ever owned. We haven't had a real cold spell so I haven't tested max run time....
For the people that article is written for I think battery powered saws would be best.
I cover my stacks in fall before the first rains and uncover them when the rains end sometime in the spring. We have a long hot dry summer that...
We had to move closer to Folsom for services for my autistic son, so we are below the snow elevation now. We are on 10ac in the foothills well...
