    Purchased a Uniforest 50E log winch for my Kubota L5030

    Well I finally got a chance to try it out after adjusting the clutch in the spring. This thing is an animal now that it is adjusted right. It will dig in and I've stalled the tractor a couple of times, which is better than it slipping like before. Totally happy with it now!!:rock: It now...

    Purchased a Uniforest 50E log winch for my Kubota L5030

    Sorry, never got out this weekend with it. Went out with my 4 wheeler and it is way too wet to go back into the woods. I will give a report as soon as I get to use it as I'm itching to find out myself!!

    Ramsplitter electric and wet pine...

    The white pine I've split seems harder to split than the hard maple I've split......Although it is freshly cut and bigger...20"+. My American Splitter (Hydraulic 25HH) will make the water and pitch run out of it like crazy and usually slow going until I get further up the tree and out of the...

    Purchased a Uniforest 50E log winch for my Kubota L5030

    That is a good idea on getting the log to roll as it makes sense. I've been talking to my dealer and the conclusion is that my clutch is out of adjustment. I will adjust it tonight and maybe give it a whirl this weekend....if it doesn't rain!!

    Purchased a Uniforest 50E log winch for my Kubota L5030

    Should it typically stall the tractor rather than slip the clutch? I snatched the rope as quick as possible to engage quickly rather than ease into it. Is this the way, as I assume it is.

    Purchased a Uniforest 50E log winch for my Kubota L5030

    I purchased it a week ago and hooked it up that day and waited for the weekend to give it its first workout. It seems perfect size for my Tractor and I didn't want the "I wish i went bigger" problem. So I found a down top part of a tree which was junk, but figured i would give it a try just to...

    Left OWB for 8 days with no problem.

    I know it's been bounced back and forth on how or if it would work. Maybe it has already been confirmed and I missed it? Wife and I took a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 8 days. Since my in-laws were watching the kids I decided to let the oil burner take over and "back feed" from the...

    How much have you burned this season??

    I live on the St. Lawrence too and have used about the same amount. I got rid of the white pine I had hanging around 2nd week in December. Glad it's gone and on to the good seasoned hardwood.

    Questions on insulating and heating a pole building

    Typical extruded foam is r-5 per inch of material. I did this in my pole barn and it works great. Works pretty well on the ceiling also.

    W-I-T-H are you doing commenting on me copying a copy of a Sears catalog!!!:) Just thought it was funny that he was holding the saw wrong and they never gave a second thought to it. The catalog is actually hilarious as it had all the pretty boys with smudge marks all over their face and...

    OWB v. Wood Stove

    I grew up with a a wood furnace in the house. We fed it up to 10 cords per heating season. Today I heat 2900 sqft and can control the heat like I was burning oil. My OWB consumes 7ish cords a year. To me that isn't bad. I could've put a wood furnace inside, but with the expense of putting...
