Max $20 per saw Bob. And that's pushing it. Can't see all in the pic. Can't quite see the one past the Farmsaw but that might be a Remington 82 cc in monkey wards clothes.
Ya I told him 25 ish. Mildly interested in the farmsaw, the 10 series mac and the red craftsman 3.7 only because I have it in about every color but red. Way to heavy to use regularly, but still kinda cool. To me it's little brother the 3.3 is a better saw. I think the yellow powercraft on the right may be a remy, I'll leave that to master brufab tho !!!!
 
Don't feel bad Bob. Me neither. Us dumb sheep farmers stick together. :laugh:
To borrow from CISCO, VPN (virtual private network) is an encrypted connection over the Internet from a device to a network. I first encountered it in the business world, e.g., VPN is often used to secure internet laptop connections to corporate networks. For individuals it's a way of protecting you from those who would like to exploit you and your devices... VPN software is available from various sources... e.g., McAfee and Verizon offer it. Note however that there are various degrees of VPN encryption. For you crypto currency trading sheep farmers the highest level available would be very wise to use. 🤪 An associate of mine is a software engineer who works in the crypto currency industry... security is a BIG deal!

Used my right hand on the 25cc top handle and pulled on the branch I was cutting when it jumped. Took a couple chunks of skin but I’ll survive the day 🙏🏻
close one!!!!
 
I won't even pretend to know what that is lol!
If you surf the Internet or look and comment on sites like this one, there are characters out there who can and will pirate your information and sell it on the dark web. Why I have an use a VPN which is a Virtual Private Network that keeps you shielded and anonymous to any cyber attack or anyone attempting to steal your personal information for monetary gain.

Myself, I use Nord VPN but there are many out there. Nice thing about having a VPN (app) on your computer or cell phone or any device capable of accessing the Net is, you can actually choose what country the Net sees from you when using the WWW.

Is it free? Of course not but with today's identity theft it's a darn good firewall to prevent identity theft and intrusion.

The other plus about having and using a VPN is, in some cases, your connect speed will increase, sometimes appreciably.

If you never access any sites or don't shop on the net on sites like Amazon for instance, you don't need a VPN, but if you do like I do, a VPN becomes a necessary thing to have.

This, combined with what I've seen happen to pros coming through the saw shop where my son works, lends support to my contention that top handle saws are the most dangerous... This because they are often used one handed... You came out Okay overall! The last two guys through the shop did significant damage to their left hand. Be careful out there!
 
No, I believe Yukon(Alpha American) went out of business in '21. They weren't fast enough to develop an EPA furnace. We had it installed when the house was built in 2011. It's been a good furnace but I wish I would've found the Kuuma furnace when I was researching furnaces. The Kuumas are very clean burning and have nice long burn times.
Okay.
Kuuma was crying pretty loud when trump removed the requirements for stoves when he got in lol. I planned on calling them and asking if they are lefties, if so I'll be done considering them. I have a link saved to their website already but if I can avoid lefties or china, I do.
It would be sweeter if it had power steering 😁

At least I get my upper body work out every time I throw a leg over the ol girl 💪
Right. I sold my first kubota as it was a manual, had manual steering, and only 2wd.
I've never cut an elm that didn't blow into a billion pieces upon impact. :) Don't think I've ever seen a black locust either.

The place is really opening up there. Momma going to be happy to have that orchard eh!
Some of them do blow up, others don't, green makes the least mess.
It is, im seeing more that would be easier before planting, but i don't really want it that open. I was thinking about cutting the large white oak off at about 8' lol.
She did barf all over the ground where I was splitting. I took the cap off amd moved it to detent postion then into the forward postion. Everything flew apart. Only found 3 of the 4 balls and said f-it. Bought a new valve.
Oh man. I was wondering why you ordered a new one.
Since @chipper1 was commenting about my sloping backcuts.:innocent:

Must have been a bud light drinker, sorry @Lionsfan :laughing: .
If you're looking for a new old school furnace you should check these out.View attachment 1164507They were rated coal/ wood until 2016. Still built exactly the same and come with a steel plate to cover the shaker grates. I wonder why? :cool:
Awesome, I don't recall looking into those. I'm mainly looking for something to put in the barn.
I just want to know how its still standing???!!!!!!
Probably leaning into another tree, at least that's how the neighbors grandkid does it :dumb:.
Wow, took a long time to get there.
What I learned, stay away from large metro areas where engineers have gathered at one point and now people gather :innocent:. Sorry engineers :happy:.
Me either, if for no other reason than, tic tok is unamerican! lol

Buddy with the big milling setup was over one night, he's from NY too, and does work with a tree crew out there when he's out that way. Anyway, I guess one of the guys got just below a branch and the tip caught, shot the saw back at his neck on the right side and ran right up the side of his face. The pics were quite :crazy2:. Short bars or no bars(like in the video above) and one handing it can have consequences.

The owner of Lamppa Mfg (the makers of Kuuma) is a friend of mine and is a good man. He is the grandson of the original founder. I can imagine a repeal of restrictions would be negative in their opinion because it is easier (and cheaper) to manufacture stoves that do not satisfy any emissions. If the market were to be flooded with cheaper options, it would certainly impact their business.

They literally and figuratively have generations worth of testing into their products and are second to none when it comes to longevity, fuel efficiency, and low emissions. Especially in the sauna stove market, many of their competitors offer products that will last for a handful of years versus a stove from them will last multiple generations.

So is he a good leftie, or a conservative 🤔?
From what I remember, he had spent a ton getting ready for tighter regulations, then trump removed them. Regardless of the regs or not, a better product will still get its market share and will have a better quality of of customer based on that higher quality. Now if someone is taking their designs and then copying them without proper authorization(think china), that'd be bullcrap :buttkick:. I'm all about letting the market decide.
 
That is good beer. Btw the stuff sold in canada is a different recipe and more tasty than the murican version. Go figure lol.
I ran Canada quite a bit when I was driving truck, I may or may not have smuggled a case or two across the border without declaring it. ;) ;)
