    Generator size to run 1hp Supersplitter

    I actually chatted with Paul on this before I bought my SS. He mentioned that it would only take a few minutes to switch between gas/electric....now that I have a SS, can't see it taking more then 10 - 15min to take the gas engine off and replacing with an electric motor. I plan on setting...

    Go check out "The Boiler Room" at ********** I have a EKO 60 gasification unit in my garage...extremely efficient...but you must have dry wood. This will be my fifth year operating the unit... If I had to do it again...I would seriously consider the 'Outdoor Gasfication' units, like the...

    Used Super Split -- WOW

    I ended up paying about 60% of the new cost...plus I didn't have to pay shipping. My thought was that if I didn't like it (because I never actually seen one in action), that I could re-sell it and not loose anything. Really don't plan on selling it! And, yes, once the snow disappears...

    Used Super Split -- WOW

    Well, I was saving up for a new Super Split Log Splitter (actually getting ready to order one) and managed to find a used one…acouple years old. Came with the 6hp Robbins engine. The only reason it was being sold was that the guy bought a firewood processor with an eight-way wedge for a...

    Forget the OWB...look into a wood gasification unit (Eko/Tarm/others). There are other sites with good info, pm me if you can't find them. Bryan

    Oh Noooo - My New Saw Got Smashed!

    So...I find a basically brand new MS441 Arctic on Craig's List...switch bars with my MS361 (there was only an 18" on the 441)...and go to work on a huge elm that a friend needed cut down. Cutting up the trunk of the tree, I get the saw pinched. Then finish cutting it up with my other saw and...

    Bar Length/Type Suggestions ... MS440

    Looking for a longer bar to cut hardwoods in southern MN. Not sure whether to get a 25" or 28". Leaning towards the 25". I just purchased this saw and it came with an 18" bar...and the saw is pretty much brand new. The reason I bought this saw is that my MS361 with a 20" bar in big oak...

    Who makes the MOST Efficient OWB?

    Gasification Units I made a list when I was in the market for one. However, the list is gone! I do remember that Tarm was on the top of my list, but they were not cheap. I really like mine (EkoLine 60), but the instructions are/were not the best and I made several calls for more info...

    Who makes the MOST Efficient OWB?

    Take a serious look at the gasification units... Bought a house with an older OWB about 4yrs ago. The unit lasted about 1.5yrs and sprang a leak. Since I was now sold on a OWB, I started shopping around and found this site and others discovering the gasification units. Having ended up...

    All The options!! Any info.

    There are pressurized options... We bought a old farm house a few years ago that had a AquaTherm OWB in the garage (a pressurized unit). The unit was older, but worked great for two years. The three year it sprung a leak (the actual unit was about 15 years old). I sold the leaky unit and...

    Stihl 026 Issue - Suggestions?

    Hello all: Was trimming trees in the yard over the weekend when this issue developed...the saw will run well for a few seconds...then seem to "lean out" like it is running out of gas (by rev'ing high) and then run out of gas and quit while trying to cut. Wait a few seconds, the saw will...

    Indoor wood boiler choices

    Limekiln: The unit is currently being shipped. I am hoping to have it up and running within acouple weeks. So far, all the people that I have dealt with on this unit have been great. The hardest part for me was the actual decision. I was going to buy another AquaTherm OWB, but the...

    Indoor wood boiler choices

    I agree...I did have a OWB and loved it, but it sure went through the wood. The OWB sprang a leak (it was 16 years old) and I ended up buying a New Horizon (EKO-Line 60). I am hoping to burn half the wood and will heat house (2400sqft), garage (920 sqft), domestic hot water (three kids, wife)...
