    why is face only 1/3?

    [, but I am unsure whether dead ash has enough strength and elasticity for the hinge to function the way I want it to function. Ron It doesn't have much strength, and it may pop and go where it darn well pleases. The Foresters use the word "brashy" to describe it. BE CAREFUL!!!!

    Why Trees Are Harvested

    Looks like awful purdy country to build a ugly fence in, even if it is made of wood, and some logger and some guys at the sawmill made a part of their living providing the material. what are they hiding in there? There’s gotta be a story behind it.

    Another Injury

    Another Injury

    So can you clarify who is responsible for the cost of life flight? He was working right? I don’t know all the facts, but doesn’t his employer bear that cost?

    Pto to electric dump conversion ?s

    The electric pump units like on a dump trailer will probably build enough pressure, but you are likely going to be woefully short on gallons per minute of flow, making for a slow hoist. In addition to that, you will probably have to engineer enough reservoir volume to fill the larger piston or...

    Pioneer vs Viking for firewood buggy

    ETA, I'm not opposed to other brands. I see Kubota has a SxS with awsome finance rates. I dont care for Polaris. The Kawasaki mule looks too much like a golf cart for me. If I'm going to pay $12k for a UTV, its gonna at least look cool. The Kubotas are pretty ruggedly built. Perhaps not quite...

    Look - Five New Baby Giants!!!

    Ropensaddle, every year weed gets planted in the flower gardens at our statehouse in Montpelier. No big deal , the gardeners just quietly remove the plants as they find them, but the news people always get a story out of it. Then there was the saga of the new decals that got put on the doors...

    Mcculloch Super 550

    I always drop started mine, but then again I'm lucky I never got cut. Young and in a hurry in those days, safety was not top of my mind. Only saw I had, and I wound up cutting a lot of four foot pulp one winter. That's when I traded it for a lighter saw.

    Southeast Pa log buyer

    Maybe you could try posting that question over on the Forestry Forum; it's geared more toward the east coast. Left coast folks are welcome anytime, too.

    The Whining Thread

    Come on out east and check out our crisp, cool weather............a balmy six below this morning on the mountain, and I had to help change a reverser shift cable on the boss's 640 JD skidder. Never done that before, so it was hard to picture where it all was buried in the trash in the belly pan...
