We used to have a lot of Poplar trees at the farm and woodlot. All of them were cut down and burned as firewood. The wood is garbage if left on the ground more than a few months. I don't miss not having them around.

If that were a law I don't know too many guys who could legitimately have a beard... present company mostly excepted.
I wasn't tagged Griz 40+ years ago for no reason... 
I rebuiltthe carb on the stump grinder and tried it Monday night. The motor ran for just about one minute before it flooded over like before. It has a new new and sat and floats. Once the fuel stopped flowing I loosened the fuel line. Gas came squirting out of that line under a lot of pressure. The fuel pump is the wrong pump on this motor. It is supposed to be a low pressure pump. I have a low pressure fuel regulator coming in today. Hopefully that cures this problem. If not, I will install a small low pressure electric fuel pump like I have on my Rayco stump grinder.

I’m clean shaven, not one for a beard…If that were a law I don't know too many guys who could legitimately have a beard... present company mostly excepted.
Yes indeed.
2022 was our best duck hunting year ever. 2023 was not very good. Hoping last year was an anomaly.
So far things look good for upland birds. LOTS of grouse around despite the fact that we are technically on the downswing of their numbers.
Sounds like you have some MVBC in your hands.
Question/Clarification-You mentioned the previous owners have timber rights on your land. How does that work?
Sorta Special?Pretty sure that's for "Hybrid, since it's an 026 with a 260 tank.
Load 8 and counting.
Starting to be safe to work on the pile (my wife's concern with me working alone most of the time on this pile.)
What kind of chainsaw/ax/excavator trickery is this? Lots of the trees apparently came down using this method.
Finished off a 2 cord cherry/maple single row stack and almost there on a 5.5 cord oak double row stack.

OK, I get that, but why all the ax marks? Is that how they separate the tree from the stump? Is it a hazing for the new kid on the crew? Where did the saw go?
2-sp Powerglide?

Like I said, 4 speed...
The car originally came with a 409, the 348 is its little brother.

I don't know what they used to clear the sides of our bike trail, but all the small trees just look like they were "battered" off!
We have a family tradition going back idk how long. The men (father/grandfather.) Clean shave when the first born is born and don't shave till they have their first born. So my pop shaved when I was born. He didn't make it till I had my first. So I clean shaved when we had our first. If I make it to see a grandchild I'll shave again then. Mind you my beard grows in really slow, so I don't look like a caveman like my pop did. His beard hung down below his belt line till he passed.
Get better!!I've been busy dealing with some health issues, new knee, AFib etc
Anyway I have been slowly working on my firewood stash for the next two winters.
Less than 2 miles from my house the Amish bought an old house and clear cut 5 acres, they sold a couple of triaxle loads and the pile that was left I stopped and made them an offer, they accepted and I was the proud owner of about 8 cords of mixed hardwoods.
Then a logger that I know called me last Thursday morning and said I could clean up the ends and stuff at one of his landings, about 4 miles from the house and right in a field just off the road, SCORE, mostly Oak. I have to say I couldn't do any of it without my trusty little L2501 and my grapple
first load today from my friends log landing
Probably one of the side armed mounted brush wackers that highway departments use on the sides of country roads.
This afternoon I started doing work on my neighbor's JD430 with a diesel in it. The left rear axle bolts were snapped off. Those bolts also hold the bracket for the brakes on that wheel. I lucked out with an easy out getting out the two broken bolts. This tractor has this thing about bucking like a mule sometimes. Research told me to check this high pressure piston that attaches to the forward and reverse lever. This small KYB 7 1/2" long piston was $157 and change delivered. My neighbor is going to **** when he sees the bill for that.

In my teens it was handy... never got carded for anything. Then it became a thing. Voted "Most distinguishable" by one of my classes in college.
I can't cook and my wife ( who is a phenomenal cook) hates a beard. I'll let y'all guess if I shave! Lol
