    Stolen dump trailer

    Good news! The cops called him last week and said they had found his trailer hooked up to a stolen pickup. He said it was only about 15 miles south so they were pretty bold to run it that close to home. It was pretty beat up for for only being gone a month and they put a fair amount of wear on...

    Stolen dump trailer

    Hoped I’d never have to post here but my brothers dump trailer got stolen a couple days ago. It was located near Berthoud, Colorado. Someone broke the lock off the hitch, hooked up to it and left. Unfortunately he didn’t get any pictures of whoever took it and hadn’t got around to putting a gps...

    Top Handle climbing saw suggestions

    I’ve got a 360T, bought it new about 10 years ago. It doesn’t really owe me anything by now, I guess I probably owe it a carburetor, the start and idle can be a bit finicky the last few jobs I used it on. Some years ago I borrowed a 200t for a job, while it was nice I don’t think it was worth...

    220V Plug-in Chainsaw - Is there such a thing?

    I had one of these cheap Remington 120v chainsaws for around the sawmill, was pretty convenient to make the occasional cut for making skids to stack stuff on or for chasing nails after I found them with the metal detector. I wished I had spent a bit more and just bought a makita or stihl...

    Stihl should be ashamed of themselves.

    A logger I know just put some blue silicone on the base of his filters and then installed them on the saw. Pretty sure he just blew them off from the outside til he was ready to replace them.

    Hitch on the front of your truck for stump grinding?

    It's one of a kind, that's for sure. It a home made stump grinder I put together. Last year I posted about the home made stump grinder for the bobcat ( I'm not sure how to provide a link to it) but I decided to build a trailer for the grinder so I don't need to use the bobcat. I can pull 3 pins...

    Hitch on the front of your truck for stump grinding?

    I'm curious to know if anyone else has done this, adding a hitch to the front of the pickup for moving the grinder around the jobsite? I knew I had a job coming up with a lot of stumps that required a lot of repositioning so I bolted a hitch on my front bumper. I'll have to say, I'm really...

    For all the Nay Sayers

    I'll have to say in an owb (pre - emissions stove) the best mix is about 50/50 green and dry unless it's the middle of summer and were just heating hot water, then I prefer to have dryish wood. I've heard many ppl say green and dry works the best with a owb, especially if your burning something...

    Fuel usage of a skidder.

    Usually in the neighborhood of 1 1/2 gal per hr with my 440c. Mostly flat or down hill skids and 3/4 throttle tho. Probably makes a difference if the guy that runs the machine also has to buy the fuel..

    Propane oil pan heater?

    I use a yamaha 2400 inverter generator mainly. Since I'm usually working alone I'll get the generator going on the machine as soon as I get to the site, then go drop trees for an hour or 2 til the skidder is ready to roll. Those inverter generators are small/light enough to fit in the cab of the...

    Want to build a shavings mill..

    No I haven't been able to locate anything that's up to the task. Apparently shavings mills arnt very high on the "list of things to build" for most ppl. Maybe I'll run into the perfect head for one at some auction one day..

    What size spikes best for my situation?

    To the OP.. I don't mean to start a big logging argument.. But seriously, what do you wipe with? Plastic?? Those pulp wood trucks are playing a pretty vital part in your personal bathroom time. That old growth pine was needed to build much of wisconsin and much of it was put to very good use...

    Bidding question

    I'm curious to know how often ppl ask you to do a tree removal or trim job and don't ask for a bid on how much it's gonna cost them. Most all of my removals and trims are in a 10 mile radius and they are all word of mouth. Occasionally ill advertise for stump grinding. I'd say maybe a quarter of...

    Seriously, God Doesn't Like Me Working on Sundays

    I Hope ya heal up without infection. Those palm cuts really stink. Seems like they take soo long to heal and stay tender for quite a while. Yup totally know how it is when your doing something you know you really shouldn't, and get that voice in my head clear as day telling me to do otherwise...

    metal detector question

    I bought a MDI 2100 shortly after I got my mill (around 6 yrs ago) it's worked flawlessly since then and will find nails buried deep inside a log. It wasn't cheap but I've deff found it to be worth it as I saw a lot of yard and fence row trees. The HF detecter will prolly work pretty well on...

    Tree worker touches wires in Holliston MA

    I wonder if shooting a hole in the side of the lift cyl with something like a .223 full metal jacket would work. Should should let it down at somewhat of a controlled speed with only one or two 1/4 inch holes spraying fluid out.
