    Woodfurnaces banned???

    they didnt ban owb's in nys. just set limits on placement, must burn clean wood, stack height, and must be certified for emissions. things that should be common sense unfortunately some people just dont care until its regulated. my wood furnace is older than me and i dont have any issues...

    Start of my new ATV cart

    i got really old mobile home axles and tires for nothing. just cut the axle down to width and you dont have to worry about overloading or bearing failure

    powerstroke or cummins

    ratios are likely designed for diesel, which doesn't have as much rpm drop to remain in the power band.

    I'm thinking about building my own splitter.

    "Check Craigslist, junkyards for old construction and farm equipment and some "shadetree tecknowledgee" and you'll do fine." thats the thing there, always be looking for deals. i found a 11hp honda engine for mine on a water pump someone was going to throw away because the pump was bad.

    I'm thinking about building my own splitter.

    i think hes in the same boat as i was before i built my splitter. i have to disagree about going all out on the first try. in fact if you put it together with what you have you can upgrade as you get deals and ultimately spend less. i now have a splitter that splits bigger than most bought...

    A question for all you sparkies!

    thats how mine is. though it might be more expensive than that interlock it was the best for me because im away alot and i dont want to have to worry about the wife overloading or something else. its simple, roll up, plug the twistlock in, start it up, go downstairs and flip the six switches to...

    A question for all you sparkies!

    you may want to have an electrician look at what you have in your house because most people have more load than a 5500 is going to power. you will likely want a panel with a limited amount of circuits like heat, sump, freezer, lights, bathroom, etc. everyone has different requirements its hard...

    powerstroke or cummins

    this is exactly why ill never buy a ford again. they reflashed it, told me they didnt, and it didnt even fix the problem. and even after they did fix the problem 2 or 3 trips later (a tube with adhesive on it) they still wont admit they took the power away and wont set it back. and this is just...

    powerstroke or cummins

    i had power too until it started blowing the air tubes off, fords fix for that was taking half my power away and telling me they didn't. i used to be able to haul our jd 110 backhoe on a triple axle trailer (15k combined) up a particular hill at 65 with the cruise on. now i have to mash the...
