Alright folks this is going to be my first full winter heating with wood only. Or let's say mostly. Got a Quad Millennium 2100. Moved into new house at the end of February last year so didn't get to burn much. Only had 3 fires last year so didn't even get a taste of burning any amount of time...

Seems my spark arresting screen on my 361 decided to leave the muffler without letting me know. Don't know when it left but was wondering if it hurts running without one. Plan to get a new one but haven't made it to Stihl dealer. Yeah I did a search and didn't find the answer. Search tool and I...

Dont know if this is the right place to put this but I know there are a lot of tree cutters out there. Wind blew this pin oak over and I am not real sure how to take it down. I limbed it and hooked my 40hp tractor to it but it didnt budge, grounds too wet. I have a neighbor who has a 97hp...

OK need some help with the best kind of gloves to use while splitting wood with my splitter. I've split about 10 cords and have gone thru 4 pairs of gloves. It's seems a pair will last about 8 hours before I wear a hole in the thumb and two middle fingers on the left hand. ( yes i'm left handed...

These are pics of the free firewood I scored from Craigslist. Wound up being a quarter of a mile from my home. It was already limbed and bucked in 8 foot sections. All I had to do was buck to 16in, take it home, and split. This is the way it started And this is how it is now

Finally got my daughter to help upload these to the site. Splitter has 8hp Briggs I/C engine, 16gpm pump, 12gal hyd tank, 4.5in cylinder, with 12sec. cycle times. I have split about 5 cords so far and it is working just fine. This is how it started <a...

Well I'm building my own splitter (even after all the posts from sawinredneck not to). I am mounting the tank I bought from Northern Tool to a piece 3/16 plate which is mounted to my frame. I was wondering if there was any advantage to placing a piece of rubber or something between the tank and...
