    Best splitter vavle

    Thank you for the replies. The fluid level is slightly low, but I attribute that to the leakage that I experienced. The valve is indeed a prince valve, although with 2 failures, I had not considered rebuilding it, just replacing it with something better. I have rebuild the drive pumps on my...

    Best splitter vavle

    I have a Timberwolf TW-P1 that had the valve replaced once under warranty, now the valve is leaking heavily out the rear again. I am cautious about using the 4 way with anything knotty, and remove it before splitting with any knots, so I do not think that I have been taxing it too much. I...

    Northeastern state Blizzard

    Here is Southern RI, it is a heavy wet snow. I was thinking about using the tractor to plow out some tonight. But I don't have a cab and figure it will push through whatever shows up overnight. It will still be easier than a shovel. I sprayed the bucket with silicone spray, and have the...

    Chainsaw chaps--ouch

    How much is your insurance copay for a trip to the ER? That is the question my dealer asked me when I asked if chaps were worth it. Bought them, and use them any time I cut.

    Who the Heck Steals Firewood

    I have to ask. Did you and the landowner work out a deal where you are allowed to cut and store firewood on his property??? You know. You split the stack of firewood with him..... If that were the case then I think the law would be much more in your favor. I am sure that the owner...

    Tree Hugger Trying to Shut Me Down

    Neighbors can be crazy at times. I have been fortunate to never have an issue with my burning, but I do have one really good story. Almost two years ago there was some flooding taking place in RI, and portions of CT. There was a period of time where the two roads leading into my...

    I have a confession...Time for a reaming

    If you were closer I would drop a load of Honey Fire wood for you. That ambiance will cost you every time. At least you got it off your chest. Now go scrounge.

    Lets see some custom lawnmower cutting/hauling setups

    That wheelhorse is nice. It looks well taken care of. With the 8 speeds, and the 12hp, you will loose traction long before you run out of grunt. I have an 8hp wheelhorse with the 8spd trans for my daughter, and it is pretty well unstopable. They are a great tractor. Congrats.

    You know you heat with wood when.....

    Every time you drive by a downed tree you calculate how much wood is in it. You have a collection of pallets behind the shed. Hmmm... Those were the two that came to mind right away.

    NOR'EASTER! Gas up those saws and generators!

    Woodheatwarrior, I have had a little experience with the oil breather issue you talk about. My temporary solution was to take a small piece of the black mesh like ridge vent used when putting a roof on and put it in the breather hose. It was enough to slow the oil down and let it drip back...

    My wood stove saved my ass but need a Diesel generator recommendation.

    Ill be honest, I do not know about diesel generators, but I had a 9000W with a 16hp briggs twin on it. Thought about converting to propane, but decided I could survive with a 5000W unit. The amount of fuel savings is well worth not being able to run the entire house at the same time. At one...

    Would you allow access to small skidder to pull loads across your property?

    I saw first hand what a small skidder can do at a friend's place. There was a U shaped piece of property with my friends in the middle. It ended up being a mess when finished, and he had more of a headache trying to get the guy to repair the damage. It was just a skidder road, but every time...

    ATV tires......

    I had a set of MSTs by highlifter. They were incredible for mud and snow. They could pull, plus they were thick. I only had one plug in the set. If you google it, they show up. Depends on what you are looking for, but once I put those on I had to try and get stuck.

    Guys please help

    Bump. I am not too smart with the computer. Tell me how to rep and I will. I tried searching for 20 minutes with no better idea. Thanks

    ATV ?'s

    Most belt drive atvs are pretty easy to change the belt. I have an old (1994) polaris 350L that is 4x4 and it has been used hard by the previous owner. I know for a fact it skidded out over 100 cord. When I got it, it had 2300 miles on it, and I have no idea when the belt was replaced, but...

    ATV versus UTV??

    I like an atv because most of the places I can ride are narrow trails. That said, I have no experience with utvs. But have often thought about the cost of a nice utv and compared it to a small kubota tractor with loader. That is another topic though.

    Best gloves for longevity?

    My neighbor gave me a set of Towa Powergrab thermo gloves, they have held up really well. So well in fact that I was just shopping to buy a dozen. They were right around $42 for a dozen, but I can pull nails out of my nail pouch and have no problems using any tools.

    New years resoultion.

    My resolutions are: 1) Get the remaining wood split and stacked. 2) Loose about 10 pounds before my 40th birthday in June. 3) Get a start on my LOONNNGGGG term FJ40 landcruiser rebuild. 4) Oh yes and the one that should really be first is build a new kitchen for my wife.

    fair dollar split?

    How much was the tractor? How many hours are spent mowing? Around here I know several guys who make extra money mowing fields. Usually $50/hr. Is there any agreement to who pays for repairs if something happens while he is using it? As someone who has gone out of his way to help family in...

    Dump trailers

    I have a 6x10 low dump trailer. I do not have barn doors, and wish I did. I have also found times when I wish for a 12'. A friend of mine has a 14' and uses it just like I do, for a mobile dumpster on jobsites. A 14' is a little more difficult to maneuver tight, but holds a lot more...
