My guess (and I freely admit its a guess) would be that the tractor flipped over backwards, and he wasn't using his seat belt. If you aren't belted in then the ROPS is just another piece of the tractor that can kill you. He may have hit his head on the ROPS bar as he was thrown off, or it may...

Nah, that's our baby.:) She's a Harlequin Great Dane.

Here are a few pics I snapped of River Birches around are farm. The handle on the mattock in the photos is about 3 ft. long.

I think you may have a real problem with the tree that close to your house. We have several River Birches growing wild on our farm, and some are so big you can barely reach around them with both arms.

Here in the Southeast (and in other areas I'm sure) we have a very large worm called a "Fiddle Worm". They can be 8"-10" long or longer. Because of their size and toughness they are especially prized as a catfish bait. I have seen chainsaws bring them up several times, but the most common...

I ordered a Woodchuck from Bailey's a while back, and finally got an opportunity to try it out on a couple of hickory logs. I was very pleased with it. It is very sturdily made, and works as advertised. A closeup of the business end: The ground was sopping wet, and I was afraid the...

I cut up a big persimmon that last Spring's tornadoes blew over one of my fences from a neighbor's yard. It is very dense, and I expect it will burn well now that it's seasoned. Persimmon is a bear to split.

Looks like hickory to me.

Here's another vote for Black Locust. If there is a downside to Black Locust its would be the hardness of the wood. Driving nails or staples in it, especially after its seasoned, can be a real pain.

I don't have a lot to add regarding the Sycamore (wet, stringy, but burns okay), except that some that I've cut smells like a barnyard while it's still wet. We have River Birch literally growing like weeds on our property, so I cut a lot of it. River Birch is one of the wettest woods I've...

Your symptoms may not be directly related to vibration. I have a friend who had the symptoms you describe, and it turned out he had a ruptured cervical disk in his neck. Have you checked with your doctor?

Wood ash is made up primarily of calcium carbonate with traces of iron, manganese, zinc, copper, and some phosphate. Wood ash is alkaline, so it acts as a liming agent raising the pH of the soil. Since most of the stuff we dump in our compost piles results in an acidic product the ash can act...

I'm in the North Alabama area, and I've seen stacked, uncovered wood last at least 3-4 years for firewood purposes. As the previous poster noted hickory seems to go bad first. One thing that would help a lot is if you can get some space between the stack and the ground. In a pinch I have cut...

The acorn crops seem to go in cycles around here. This is turning out to be an unusual bumper year. Regarding edibility: Acorns contain tannic acid. Amounts vary according to species. Around here white oaks generally have the lowest levels and are preferred by most wildlife species...

We are having an unusually heavy mast crop some places here in N. Alabama. In fact we are seeing some older oak trees dropping a lot of acorns that haven't produced significantly for 10-15 years.
