I'd be lost without my pulphook. I cut all my wood into 4' lengths because that's the length I split them. Then I stack it and cut each piece twice with a saw rig and throw into truck for delivery. MUCH easier to pick up 4' lengths with the hook. Just don't miss and hit your ankle on a cold...

My son is 7 years old and our favorite movie is Alone in the Wilderness. We have it on DVD. We seriously want to build a small log cabin in the woods on our property. Nothing real fancy, more of a hunting cabin with a little wood stove. But I want to do it right so we can use it for a long...

OK, a lot of misconceptions going on here.... Carpenter ants can and will live in dry wood or dry spaces. They PREFER moist or wet wood, only because it is easier for them to excavate, but they are extremely adaptable. They do not eat the wood to digest it, unlike termites, ants just make...

I remember 4-5 years ago somebody called me to remove a small tree that had fallen on their roof and also to take down a big maple next to the house. There was several inches of snow on the ground with a real crusty layer on top, and then we got some freezing rain on top of that. I've never...

It runs off the tractor's hydraulics. 4 foot cylinder is attached with a pin so it's adjustable to split pieces from 16 inches to 4 feet. Notice the cylinder pushes the wedge. One of the pieces was broken in the picture, but there are 3 pieces of removable square channel that hold big pieces...

Like others said, I would check around at auctions and farm equipment dealers. Also ebay has them quite often. I grew up using one and still do today. We used to have one that was on a trailer that ran off a belt driven by an old GMC engine. Now I use one that mounts to a 3 point hitch and...

I work for a pest control company and I usually recommend to customers that they only bring a few days supply of wood into the house at once. A lot of insects will stay dormant in the woodpile until it either warms up outside or when they are brought in. We get a LOT of calls from people who...

Sold. Thank you.

I have a Homelite 240 that's been sitting around for about 10 years. It ran good when I used it and has very little hours on it. I'm sure it needs new gaskets, etc. It is missing the linkage for the throttle but all the other parts are in place and nothing is cracked or broken. Engine turns...

Jeff, speaking of spelling...Arboriculture has an i. Dennis Ryan will have your head for that.

Mostly all I do now is firewood and some logging, but I still think hand filing is the best. If I get into some real dirty wood and mess up a chain, I'll take it into the shop and have them sharpen it. I find it best to have a few chains on hand and switch them as needed. For me to hand file...

I stack it in 4' lengths, let it dry, and then will cut it to 16" when I sell it. If someone wants it 4', I'll sell it for a little less. The ford is my father-in-law's. This is the first time I used it. I think it's a 641?

I know how many board feet there are. Plus, see first post, there is a lot more than the trees in these 2 pics. I'm looking at a small area of my family farmland about 4 acres in size, where I'd like to cut a little hardwood for logs next winter. We have another 300 acres of farmland that has...

Here are some pics of my little cordwood operation. Been doing it part-time this winter to keep me out of trouble, plus it's a lot of fun. So far I've got out 19 cord. I have a few more cord in log length to process. I used a David Brown 990 tractor with a farmi winch (no pics, it's being...

Here is a pic each of the cherry and maple. I think one of these cherry was 19" dbh, this particular maple was maybe 16" or so. Don't know if these pics will help, or if they will even be there. Thanks.

Yeah, the grade makes a huge difference. I've seen prices for maple anywhere from 250 all the way up to 7000 for veneer. Can you guys tell just pictures of the trees? I'll try and get some pictures if that's the case. Thanks.

Well, I've encountered this situation and no doubt there is a lot more people here that are much more qualified than myself, but.........from my experience with spruce is a whole lot of branches. It the top 25' or so is hung up, I would think you're best option is to pull the bottom if possible...

Anyone have an idea what cherry and maple logs are getting, picked up at the landing or delivered to the mill? There is an area behind my parent's house with about a 1000'+ of nice cherry, 12-19" dbh and about 5,000' of hard maple avg. dbh 18". I'd like to wait until next winter to cut some of...

You gotta be kiddin me. I can't find one anywhere. I looked in this week's Want Ad but found nothing. I wouldn't think there are too many people looking for ones capable of 4'. When I was in high school I used to work for my uncle who did logging and a small cordwood business, about 100...

I've had it more times than I care to remember. I've found there are tons of creams, lotions, etc. but haven't had much luck with any of them. Here's what works for me. If I know I'm going to be in or near it, I put IvyBlock on my hands, arms, and face. I wear long sleeves, gloves, etc...
