Broke in this new 261 stihl on the smaller stuff… this is a huge oak and i’m not even close to cutting the trunk which over 3 feet across. the timberjack proved to be priceless as under that grass is gravel and gravel and chains don’t do so well.

Other stuff…
my front gate on the FM is an attest to that! but have to admit, i have picked up some pretty interesting stuff! ~
TSC hard to beat, imo.... buy nutz n bolts by the pound!
the aisle in big box's bolt section usually a mess! or they repacked ur size needed in a box of 10, triple the price and someone stole 2 out of it....
noone said they were Grade 8's! lol
or for. i usually have trouble both places finding anyone that can help! HD especially -
i usually just go to my fastener boxes. nuts, bolt, washers, locks, screws, this, that... big little...
my Dad had them, too. i remember him saying... always keep and collect the loose or leftover nuts n bolts. will come in handy some time. i rarely have to go big box for fasteners... i got it here... somewhere's... lol
what did u want him to make it out of? 1/4" plate....That new mount is impressive! Makes the rest of the machine look inadequate!
i hear ya! i am about in same boat. doubt i will. i want to, but doubt i will!
some food for thot:
For the page ....
3/4 cord of 24" OWB fuel.
3/4 cord of 24" OWB fuel.
Classic,
You look to be burning high quality kindling there. I would chop it up and use it.
Garbage bug infested pallets I wouldn’t even bring it into the house
Rip off misleading. While I do get 7/8 stuff and it is only in grade 8 the lag bolts or lag screws whatever the correct term is are silver colored and down with the grade 2 stuff but ring up at grade 8 pricing. That is the pricing take it or leave it.
I will post some pictures of the nice scrounging area the town here maintains for us. No need to buy log trucks full of poles or stuff like that.

For something different we were out by the back "fence" cutting down, bucking, and splitting dead ash today.
Our township called Greenfield, should be called ROCKfield...
Neighbor calls that shaggy, peeling bark tree a bitternut... dunno. Allison came up and was splitting and piling. Prolly a face cord today.
Couldn't get the mower and trailer any further, steep uphill. We're working past the corner in the distance, roughing out a woods/CC ski trail as we go. NOT hand carrying logs down snow covered hillsides. Mebby put chains on the mower tires?
Tomorrow I'll try with the skidsteer. WAY more ash than I will ever get to waiting out there.

When I need to go shopping in the big city, I go to Baraboo. I'm about 35 miles west of you and am also harvesting dead ash. I've processed over 60 trees and have lots more to cut. I get $250 per full cord delivered. And I am familiar with rocks in the woods.
