Burning Poplar, Locust, n Oak. Poplar to light the Locust to light the barely wet Oak. But I'm down to lighting those fires once a night about 5 nights a week. I see some north of me haven't been burning for several weeks so it must be the altitude. :rant:
But, I've also been burning gas in the mower. The week before last I did my first with dethatching (used an attachment for the pushmower) but only areas I wanted to overseed. Last week Monday I clipped the lawn at two heights. One part at the regular height and the other at the height I used for dethatching so I could overseed again since the grass seed I used was dead. It seems you can't leave it outside all winter and expect anything from it. So I spread another 40# of seed so I can really burn the fuel once it gets going. Tomorrow I'll clip the lawn to it's regular height of 4 inches. :msp_blink:
So yep, I'm still burning wood but also burning gas for the grass. It's just not the same as cutting wood n not nearly as fun! :msp_sad:
Sounds like you need a harvester....
me, I dont mind mowing, thats what drags in the bank debt notes....I like sawing a lot, but, at this point anyway, doesnt make me anything but stacks of wood. Thats nice, but insurance company wont trade for wood, grocery store wont trade for wood, truck stop wont trade for wood, the vet wont trade for wood, internet and cellphone companies wont trade for wood, (etc. and so on) and outright selling it around here is a joke, everyone and their cuzzin is sitting on stacks of wood and the demand isnt that high to begin with....I think the entire local demand is met after every storm, with just blowdowns and cleanup. If I was able to handle sawlogs, that would be a different story, but I am not, you need like a grapple truck and skidder and so forth, aint got that, they cost a lot upfront, so the point is moot.
