Remember Sears started doing this before they folded? Tons of third party drop shipping and somehow Amazon and Walmart are excelling at this. I’m surprised to see BBB selling farmertec.

I had to make a few chains today, and decided to try electrifying my chain spinner.
That being said, does anyone know where to find replacement bits for these things? Googling has been fruitless for me so far and the bits on this one are about gone.

Same here. Only as a last resort will I wrestle on a round to get it positioned at ground leverl
Just please for the love of humanity no one ask what the true dimension of a ric of wood is
!! It is quite interesting how a generation or the distance of a state or two can totally change terminology and such. 20 yrs ago I almost never heard the term quad. They were always 4 wheelers. Quad is pretty common now but if someone says 4 wheeler we all know they are referring to a quad. 4 wheel drive vehicles here are almost always " 4 by 4 " or simply 4 wheel drive but I don't ever recall hearing a vehicle called a 4 wheeler.
Move a state over or wait 20 years and it'll change.
Oh now that's just cheating!!!!! Love itOnly because you said you made a ramp, and it looks like you are on a nice flat spot, I dug up this old pic. I bought a Harbor Freight Motor cycle lift. I had pics where I dumped a load of 30" oak blocks on the court, then went back to get another load. When it was time to start splitting I put the lift between the pile and the splitter. Lowered the lift flat to the ground and rolled the blocks on, then lifted it to the level of the table on the splitter, or you cold just bring it up to the beam. I'd split a thin slab off and let the heavy part rock back on the lift. When all the wood on the ground was split, I backed the trailer up to the lift, raised it to the height of the trailer deck and just rolled the blocks on the lift, then raised them to the height of the splitter. I must have deleted those pics. This pic is of smaller stuff, but you get the idea. Yes I know the tire is flat! I got so many reply's about that flat tire I went out and bought a bigger splitter. Seemed like a valid reason, flat tire on small spitter, get a bigger splitter?
That was the first thing I thought when I read it.But, if you are a semi driver a 4-wheeler is , well, anything on the road with 4 wheels to your 18
Those cars they use would haul a lot of wood too lol.
I like the 98-04 foremans with the electric shift. They have a standard manual transmission and the electric works over it, have a problem and you pull out the manual foot shift lever from the "trunk" and keep rolling. They also have a pull handle so if the battery pukes you can still get it fired up, if you can pull it lol.
The 350 rancher was a similar size, I always thought it would be cool to build one for mudding. I've had a lot of the 450 foremans, one had some knarly tires on it, it would go through anything I'd want to go thru and a lot more, but I'm not into having mud over the running boards(the electric shift models had full running boards, one of the things I liked about them).
Are you sure that's not orange
The only thing that runs off propane here is our water heater too. I fill a few 100lb tanks, they went from 58 to 86(iirc) the last time
.Once I get the electric from the barn to the house I'll switch over to an electric unit. I also will put small on demand electric units in the bathrooms for the sinks.
If you have really rough, soft terrain you might want to consider something with independent rear suspension. Granted, solid rear axle is a stronger design, but even a puny little bike like my 250 Artic Cat will survive years and years of hard use.
Looks like a Stihl NG7.

It’s like the worst glacial till with ground moraine you can think of with highland ridges and lowland marshes. A very versatile machine is needed. If a skid steer or feller buncher had the options I would just buy one of those

This little looks fun if I actually get any snow pack here…
I was going to say it was only $299. I just looked to double check? It's now $599!
Dealership here tried to push them, I think they took it up the pooper.

Cool firewood getter for the island boys
Unless you live up north where we're a little behind times. Heck, a lot of guys still call them Quad Runners!Ask any truck driver what a 4 wheeler is lol.
Bikers also call the cagers

I went to a snowmobile show, they had some of those plus a lot of other primitive creations like that. Things were so simple back then. Didn't take much to fix if something broke. The fact that guys have them and they still run is a testament to that.
I haven't looked at any builds personally, but guys have been chopping up old snowmobiles and building those "Snow dogs" to haul there ice fishing gear, no registration required from what I understand!
