I picked up a 2820D Yanmar for 11,500 out the door with a new front loader and a 6' brush mower. It's a grey market tractor that was rebuilt and sandblasted and repainted. Runs and looks like new, a real workhorse. There's deals out there, you just have to look. A Kubota equivalent would cost me...

I used pink board foam and canned foam for the perimeters. It was a night and day difference. On the beam sills (150+ year old Victorian) I did 1" due to the r value of the wood beams. On the addition I did 2" of foam since the sill was 2x. Didn't take too long and we have seen a huge difference...

Contrary to belief, the larger the diameter of chimney on a modern woodstove, the worse the draft. Large chimneys were just fine with older non efficient stoves due to the amount of heat they sent up the chimney. A modern woodburner puts less heat up a chimney. The larger the diameter, the worse...

That's a 2820D. It's a grey market tractor that has been updated to American safety standards. It has a 34hp diesel with a powershift transmission and 4 wheel drive.

My addition.

Nice! Mine has been too big at times, but I can't overload the thing. Mine does have the sides and the top pieces, but I got tired of trying to chuck wood over the sides. For hauling, you can't beat them.

Where did you pick up the tongs? I want to get a pair of them, one for each eye of the loader until I can afford a grapple. I used chains but it still was a back breaker and took way too long.

I've had the military trailer for around 9 or 10 years now. I do have a 3 point cable winch that my uncle always used. It needs re-welded. I am looking forward to using the winch since the tractor had 4 pto speeds. The slower speed (under 540) will be nice.

Did a workout today with the military trailer and loader. I want to get logs up to the house so I can work at my leisure.

That's what I told my wife. I have the invoice from the previous owner and he paid 17500 after getting it delivered to Ohio.

Yep! It's been refurbished in the states (not a VN tractor). It has the powershift transmission which has 5 gear ranges (including creeper) and the powershift has 3 forward, neutral and reverse. It was a little small for the previous owner here in ohio that bought it out of Alabama, so he traded...

I bought this yesterday. A 83' 2820D yanmar. It's a 33hp 4wd tractor. I'm hoping next year to purchase a grapple for the front of it.

Everytime you hit a new high temperature, you'll get an odor. Eventually it will go away when all of the oils burn off and paint cures. Anyone burning wood should have a CO detector, better safe than sorry.

The 4 way kit comes with an adjustable wedge (or used to anyhow). Like mentioned above, it does cause alot of stress on the wedge. Our kit had 3 height settings.

Adding wood to a fire will slow it down temporarily due to the moisture in the wood. If it's hot when you close it down, it should get hotter and you should still have alot of flames. It's not going to put out the heat of the Daka. I think of the new furnaces as heat pumps and the oldschool...

Yes. After a bed of coals, load the furnace and give it about 10 minutes or so to get hot. Once the furnace is starting the heat up, since its manual you can close it down in a couple stages. By the end, it should be burning very hot and you'll should have constant secondaries for at least a few...

Our register temperatures average around 100 degrees. Our LP furnace puts out 135 degree air. While the woodfurnace register temperatures are much lower, the woodfurnace does a fine job of heating this home. I'm not sure about the heatmax, but the Caddy style fire boxes do well with the damper...

What type and size of chimney are you running, and when you say good seasoned wood....how long has it been split/stacked and covered? That's a large firebox to not produce any heat.

If you have no form of air coming up from the under the bottom of the grates, then no.

I have a DHT 27 ton and it's been an excellent splitter. I also have a 4-way that I use almost everytime I split. If I see a knotty piece I wait till the end, remove the 4-way and split with the single wedge. It's never given us any issues with starting and I split everything.
