Guy at work cleared some land and piled the logs. Asked me if I wanted some....what do you think my answer was? Only issue is hes 47miles from me. Rented a 12k lb dump trailer for the weekend and was able to get about 3/4 of it. He loaded trailer with his excavator so minimal work besides...

Thanks, Diesel was my dream truck when I was younger. Started with a 1500 hemi and traded for this one. Have a 14.5k lb 5th wheel so its used to pull that around the north east in the summer. While I love our set up theres a lot of money tied up into it and I will probably go back to a travel...

29 here. In my house since 22 and heating exclusively with wood, 8-12 cords a year. Depends on what I can get my hands on. Have an outdoor wood boiler so I'll burn pine where others won't, I just get to do a little more work. Shhhh dont tell anyone, I may work with natural gas for a living...

Would have loved to stay with a Honda but wanted a cvt so the wife could easily drive it, as well as having high and low. So it was between Suzuki and Yamaha, Suzuki was 3k cheaper. My dad is actually building the log arch. Materials were free from the machine shop he works at. Also looking...

That's a heck of a load, what size atv is that? I do have a 4x8 trailer. It's a cheap harbor freight one I think. Got it for free and redid the entire thing. Looks pretty good now. I've thought about using that trailer but I'm not convinced yet that a trailer is an easy way to get firewood...

Picked up a new atv before Christmas. The wife didnt belive that I could sell my previous Honda Rancher for more than I paid for it 5 years prior (i purchased used). Boy she ain't going to make that bet again! Enjoyed the Honda but wanted an automatic so the wife would drive it and I couldn't...

Snow melted and allowed me to continue, it was frozen to the ground though. Luckily just strapped the logs to the truck and pulled them free. I never include the saw but finally did on this pic. It's a 576XP with a 24" bar

Another load of hemlock. Got about 5" now.

2 loads the other weekend. More to get, you can see the rest by the excavator. One load was hemlock the other maple.

Bfg all terrain tires? How do you like them towing? Side wall strength decent. Checking out fifth-wheels Saturday. Will probably wait and buy one next year however these firestone at tires are wearing pretty quick and I've only got 7700 miles in 11 months.

Forgot to add bighorn edition...same as mine

Alright let's see how good I am am at guessing what you got there... 2016 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 hemi and a Griffin dump? Sits to high to be a 3500, mine sits like that without weight on it. I can tell the badge is a gas motor and the rims are the same as mine I think which means it's a 2016...

OP here. You guys have some good points, I've never considered that it would always be worth something if I needed to sell it so my total investment isn't lost. I usually don't like investing in things that don't have a 5 year year or less payback. At the end of the day i think it purely...

So from what I've gathered is that you have an electric water heater currently installed and want to know if replacing it with a heat pump water heater is worth the additional $600. This correct? If I was in your shoes I probably would say no. It's got benefits that are multipled like...

So as the title states have you guys actually checked your numbers to see if it really makes financial sense to own your own dump trailer. I'm talking to homeowners and DIY guys only, not you guys who own a business and use it for that. I will most likely always own a 1 ton or equivalent truck...

I work for a gas and electric utility and have learned quite a bit about them. I personally work on the gas side so I have nothing to do with people switching or am incentives if they do. My utility has a 450$ rebate if you get one which brings down the cost to typical electric water heater...

Unfortunately it's of the home made variety. Not sure if you were looking for that or not. When looking I found one that grabbed the bolt on the axle tube that the oem bracket is welded to. It was $60-70. My dad made this so I didn't have to spend the money. It works great and have had...

Yup same hitch that came with mine. This is what I have now.

Is your quad a solid axles? Has the small oem piece with a hole for a ball? If so ill try to grab some pics of mine. My father made a piece that fit on the old bolt holes and now takes a 2" receiver. The piece he made is strong but the way it mounts to the atv is poor. Most Hondas have the...

I think it would require a lot of work to go to natural draft. The natural draft owb usually hold much more water than the forced draft. I like the idea behind the forced draft but my FIL owb uses half the wood that mine does but I will attribute some of that to a newer house and insulated...
