    Selling firewood in small amounts{gas station}

    A close friend of mine does this. He sells it at his house. He puts it out when he gets home. He has a 5 dollar stack and a 10 dollar stack. His son also helps and I think he gives him the proceeds as a allowance. He does well with this and even in the summer people with the outdoor firepits...

    Chaps

    I have a few pairs of the Stihl ones you can pick up at the dealer. After an accident with a saw in 1991 I have been wearing them. I see tons of people skip this item and I wish I could tell them what my doctor bill cost..it would easily have funded a new saw and then some. I didnt have health...

    I think I've talked myself into a tractor

    Congratulations, Kubota makes a great tractor and the bx series has a huge following. I grew up and still work on a farm and have been around all of the major brands over the years. Last summer (09) we purchased a Grand L series tractor with loader to handle a few few tasks. Its a great machine...

    Paying for firewood

    I dont have any exact figurers. However, when I first bought my house in 2004 and remodeled it I was not cutting wood. I was also not keeping it that warm as I was not living there just working nights and weekends. Once I moved in a year latter I didnt have any wood cut or seasoned. I bought...

    New Guy from NJ with a few questions

    My family has a farm and we run about 75% Deere equipment. I can tell you they put the Stihl stuff in to be a more or less complete store. They have the lawn and garden stores that are homeowner oriented with the lawntractors and the X series tractors. Then they have the dealers that sell the...

    New Guy from NJ with a few questions

    I have to agree with the statements on Walts. I have not gotten any Stihl equipment but the way he handles the Polaris stuff I am sure he is a great dealer for anything they sell. I found another Stihl dealer from talking to a nursery friend in my area. Its of rt130 in the South brunswick...

    New Guy from NJ with a few questions

    Call the one mentioned in this thread, I did and they are helpful. I plan to take a ride out there tomorrow or next week. I wanted to try something other than the Stihl line of saws and I think I may have found that opportunity. Sure its a ride for me, I am 10 minutes from the shop you...

    New Guy from NJ with a few questions

    I know this dealer well. My family has done business with them for 30 years. I get all my equipment there. I do feel they are great with Stihl but for saws I look elsewhere. I have had bad luck saw wise with them. I also used to use Grovers mill. that was a great small store. They knew the...

    New Guy from NJ with a few questions

    Its not on 518, so thats another dealer you must have located. I dont think we will loose the shops from the great recession or at least I hope we dont. I have noticed more people burning wood than usual. If they dont cut there own then someone does. It doesnt take long for someone to realize...

    Hillrat thanks for the insight. I love the area your in. I looked extensively at homes in that area. I have a friend that did buy there recently also. I ended up in Cranbury due to its close proximity to my family farm also. I work saturdays and some sundays on the farm and a 5 minute drive...

    New Guy from NJ with a few questions

    Wow, thanks for the fast reply! The place I found was a Jonsred dealer. The place on 31 didnt show but then there are so many Husqvarna dealers near my zip code that it never made it that far. I am familar with the area as I worked in Skilman for 10 years. I am now working in South Brunswick. I...
