    Want to Sell Husqvarna 61

    I don't remember. It's been a few years. I did research on here for awhile about doing it. Pretty sure I bought the jug and stuff from guys on here if I remember right. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Firewood delivery...how far is too far?

    Pretty much. Not sure if that was an educated guess or a jab at the top speed. If you were wondering she'll do 67mph flat out with a tail wind. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Want to Sell Husqvarna 61

    Anyone interested in this very nice original 61 gray top. 1987 I have it converted to a 272xp right now. Jug and carb. I have the original jug and piston and carb to put it back to stock. Nothing was modified just wanted to see how it ran. Was bought as a collector saw but just no room for it...

    Want to Buy 395xp flywheel nut ans washer

    I'm looking for a 395xp flywheel with nut and all. I have a 394 that previous owner updated to a 395. Had the rod bearings both fail so I got a new crank but I didn't realize a 394 crank and flywheel were different. The flywheel has fins broken anyway so might as well change it. Could really use...

    3pt skidding hitch project

    So just a little update. Had to buy a brand new winch. This one functioned perfectly. Still does but the motor seal kept blowing out and pumping the winch full of hydraulic oil. Come to find out it was an obsolete model. No parts available. Can't even match one up. Brand new winch. $1700. Works...

    I hear you. I feel like a small shield in front of the winch would be sufficient. Anything can be used beyond its limits and you cant control stupidity so I'm not sure how that would work. I guess I would sell low key. With a rating and a disclaimer Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    3pt skidding hitch project

    So I built a second one of these minus the winch. The windows to skid trees are narrow this winter so I'm running two tractors. Got me thinking if there was much market to make and sell some of these. Probably need some around 500 without the winch. It would come with the receiver hooks and all...

    Brought a new tractor home to skid with a couple weeks ago. Nice little road trip to pa but so far it's worth it. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    What's a cord nowadays?

    Oh boy people get wound up by firewood. I'm not a professional seller. Do it just to supplement some income. I sell pretty much just boiler wood. To much drama with the guys that ironically just burn wood in a little wood stove because they like to. I sell strictly by the load not by the cord. I...

    Early Season Supply Woes

    People just have to wait. I dont get it. Had one guy call the night he was out. It was the middle of a 3 span of subzero weather. I told him he was out of luck until it warmed up enough to get the truck running. The old 5ton am general doesnt like it that cold. Ended up having my control valve...

    Early Season Supply Woes

    It's the same here in Michigan right now. It's coming to the end of the dead ash and people are scrambling. The price doesnt reflect it just yet but I'm sure it will. I sell a little on the side usually for just boilers and its usually pretty quiet until the snow flys. I've sold 4 loads in the...

    3pt skidding hitch project

    Also if it's a 4wd drive tractor I would consider loading the front tires over hanging weights on the front. For in the woods anyhow. Even a 2wd maybe. Less stuff to worry about breaking off. We bought a 4440 JD from Georgia like 10 years back. It had a full set of weights and the front tires...

    3pt skidding hitch project

    We still just run chloride. Cheap and easy. Takes years and years to rot the rims with a good tube. I have a 1956 farmall with the original rims and chloride in them. Put new tires on and pumped it back in. They're just now starting to get bad. 63 years is a long time to be worried about the rim...

    Yeah they call it rimguard. No need for a tube its non corrosive and heavier than chloride I believe. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    They're loaded with chloride. It farms for a living normally. I wouldnt try it without weight though. Even with chains it struggles for traction sometimes. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    Also since in grenaded the one tractor the plan is to replace it hopefully. I'm planning on getting a 100hp or so fwd jd tractor so less of steering issue even. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
