    Large Red Fir oozing Pitch, need advice

    I have a large red fir that's been a staple on the property. I'm starting to worry about it, as the pitch is oozing on one side. I've heard that makes them vulnerable to damage, and so it will fall on my house if so. Here are a few pics. I need some advice if this is in danger of falling...

    Does anyone use the heat powered fans?

    That sounds about right. Mine is supposed to kick on off around 175. Usually takes a bit more before it kicks on, and will still run a bit under that. I like it at the end though

    Does anyone use the heat powered fans?

    As stated does anyone use them and notice a difference? I got one, it does spin but it sits on the top of my fireplace, I have a fan that pushes the heat out from the top of the fireplace also. Hard to tell if it does much. If I lose power I'm sure it will make a difference just wondering if...

    Depth guage

    There is a husky roller guide for .325 and one for 3/8 chain. Pics would help. Looks like the blue one is for 3/8 the silver is for .325. Since it worked on your father in laws do you know if it was .325 or 3/8

    Went out on to get some downed tammys, saw this. Rotted stump tipped into a fir tree only way to go is to the right. I'm standing on a private easement and it will end up laying across the road. Tree is on my land so had to knock it down and clear the road before it came down on its own. Hard...

    Which Pre-Mix Gas Do You Use? Are They All The Same?

    I've used trufuel and the husky brand. No difference in how the saw runs. Honestly your wasting money on the premix period. It's expensive premixed and nothing more. I used to buy some for end of season to run some if I left some gas in a machine. Fine for that. I get non ethanol 91 or...

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    H Honestly my grandfather bought it new back in the day. He never really showed me how to run it and I inherited it. Its a Ford 1100. Runs good but the hydraulic control leaks like a civ, don't know if someone here knows how to fix that but it's a major problem on it.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    hHere's a shot of using it to plow, snow is at least 2 feet deep on the sides. Little tractor cleaned it up well.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Honestly it's a bad ass little rig. The foot print isn't much wider than a quad and can go on the property where you can get a truck and get the stuff. I also plow with it. I have a plow blade but lately use the loader because I get so much snow. Will post a pic of plowed driveway using it.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Sometimes my friends want to laugh at my tractor. Was out knocking down a few small trees on the property and found these I cut down last year I think. I was bringing them in on top of the front loader. This was the last load for the day.

    The Longest Mile - the Steps Between the Woodshed and the Woodbox

    Here's a few pics, I thought these were more common, but looking around online they dont seem to be. This one came from Harbor Freight. Don't see them on there website currently. It's 12" to the outside of the rails where the wood sits. About 20" clearance between the tires near the axle...

    The Longest Mile - the Steps Between the Woodshed and the Woodbox

    I use something like this, the pic is a reference only. Has tires like a bicycle but smaller than standard bicycle tires. It fits through doors, I generally park it outside next to the main door.

    Trees getting torn up or eaten up?

    Went out to clear some trees on a road last week from a storm, hoped to haul in some firewood also. Got into a little area where there was some stumps and down trees that were tore up, likely from a bear. Then I came across 2 trees that had this damage. I assumed bear, and it had been spending...
