http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2697&q=429464&deepNav_GID=1631& Applications for CT residents to enter the State Firewood Permits lottery for 2016 are now being accepted until Feb. 1, 2016. I don't know about other regions, but in Areas A & B there was not a lot of harvesting of...

On my beam end and bored today. Over the past few weeks the treelength loads for the 2016/2017 season have started coming in. I ordered 10 to 12, six have arrived. Nice surprise was the first load was 95% white ash harvested in early fall 2014. I jumped on that already and have a bonus 7-1/2...

Selling my FG-2 guide. Used but in excellent condition. All parts are there including the manual, box is long gone. Very low usage as I only used this guide from time to time to restore a rocked chain. Since I got the Tecomec grinder 3 years ago I haven't used it. It does a great job...

To those interested CT DEEP Forestry Div. has posted the list of 2015 State land firewood permit recipients. http://www.ct.gov/deep/lib/deep/forestry/2015_state_lands_firewood_lot_recipients.pdf If you applied, hopefully you were chosen. If not, there's still hope. Many permits are declined...

CT residents Chance to play the lottery again, 2015 State Firewood Permits are now being accepted. http://www.ct.gov/deep/lib/deep/forestry/firewood_application_2015.pdf I talked to the State Forester last week about a doing pre-timber harvest thinning job. He was pretty sure the EAB...

This is a first, Had 45+ cord of seasoned available for sale this year. Granted 30 cord went to regulars, but I've never been sold out with still a week to go in Sept. before. I have 11-1/2 cord left to deliver when truck gets out of the body shop and this heating season is history. Still...

Just what it says Need help on an on and off per deim basis in the wood yard making rounds out of treelength. Pretty simple requirements, if you can run a saw and enjoy it take a look. 1- Need PPE. I can supply hearing and eye, but you need your own chaps and boots. 2- No booze or drugs. 3-...

CT law says a cord is 128 cu. ft. cut, split, and tightly stacked. So for chuckles, what will this pile yield? Based on past experience, I've got a pretty good idea within +/- a couple cord. Take Care

Simple question, I think Finally bit the bullet, took the beating and sold the 372XPG that wouldn't stay together. Looking at a 390XPG as a possible candidate to replace it. My question is concerning the air filter and cover. Does the 390XPG use a smaller filter and low cover similar to the...

I do. After the warm weather and close to 2 inches of rain over the past few days, everything is shut down. Walked in to the landing and burned a tank on the pile of treelength this morning. By the time I was done my boots must have weighed at least a pound more each. Not to mention having to...

Picture is worth 1000 words, Unfortunately I don't have one, but I'll try to be brief. An older logger I work with, who like me does per diem harvesting when things get busy has a compact pancake cylinder with a telescoping ram that hooks up to a PortaPower type hand pump. He uses it for...

More to the point How do the other firewood sellers on the forum find temporary help when they need it? Often times from Labor Day on I find myself in need to hire someone for a few days a month to help with deliveries, cutting and splitting on the piles of treelength, helping to rig a take...

Directed to the other firewood sellers on the board, Got two regular customers that seem to create more trouble than the earned profits are worth. Scheduling deliveries and getting paid has become a hassle with these two for the past few years. It's always something, they don't reply to calls...

I know there's a bunch of CT residents on this board so I figured I'd share the joy. Talked to the local State Forester and he told me Emerald Ash Borer infestations have been found in Hartford, Fairfield, and Litchfield Counties. Though not yet in effect, it is highly probable that firewood...

Heads up, they're out there Never gave them a thought until this am. Was pulling tops this morning when I felt that unmistakeable pinch, and another, and another, etc. I was covered in wasps. Jumped off the tractor and ran for the truck. Who says a fat, old, and miserable sob can't leave posi...

Help from the rumor mill please. Rainy day was out running errands and stopped at a Husky dealer this am. This dealer is not the local one I almost always deal with, but he has an excellent reputation with some loggers I know in his area. As I'm unloading my 372XPG X-Torque before next fall /...

For interested CT residents DEP: State Lands Firewood Program Applications must be in by Feb. 1, 2013. I'm assuming any harvesting in New Haven county if allowed at all, will be severely restricted and monitored. Take Care

In the words of Peter Boyle Holy Crap In the past 3 days I've received orders from new customers through referrals for 11 cord plus one of my regulars that takes 5 cord wants his delivered early so he can stack and cover it over the Labor Day weekend. I upped my price this year from $200...
