    Firewood or to the mill?

    My experience, mills won't buy walnut. They usually need to saw a whole lot of wood, to sell it in wholesale form. A log here or there would just take up space and get in the way. I have had a couple "walnut buyers" out and they want veneer logs, which are pretty rare. On the other hand, I...

    Firewood bucking/splitting rate

    "its the government tax that keeps on taxing companies to the point they have to leave America and look for other places to conduct their business." Actually, the US has some of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world. Many even end up with "negative" tax when you factor in everything...

    Firewood bucking/splitting rate

    I hear this logic/story all the time. Usually from the pro-union crowd. Hey maybe we need a wood cutters union! We can all charge $50 an hour to cut and stack wood. Of course then we have to pay a monthly fee for management representation, and into the medical program for retirees, into the...

    More, bigger, badder

    There is a wood cutter up here that runs a 394 with a 24" bar. He saw my 50" bar and said it was not necessary and a waste. He said he could cut any log up that I could, just by going around to the other side. I agreed, but then said, "yeah, but I don't have to walk around to the other side"...

    What Do I Need? Bucking my first log load.

    I can believe the whole "first time cutting, seven cords.." My buddy has burned wood for 20 years, but has it all delivered so never runs a saw. His son just got out of the Marines, and bought a house that has a OWB. The couple cords that were piled up at the house sure didn't last long...

    chariots of fire...wood

    Yeah that little steiner looks awesome. Finding a current 4wd in that size is near impossible unless you want to drop 10 grand. I ran a snow blower this winter on an ariens and would have traded my left cahone for 4wd. Looks like it has power lift as well. What years were those made? Nice...

    Oak Trees Dying?

    Probably suffocated them. Trees bring in oxygen through their roots. Cover them up with too much dirt, or in your case underwater, and they will die off quite soon.

    Awsome Firewood Processor

    reminds me of watchin my grampa dig swimming pools with a backhoe. No thought to what your doing, movements just flow through with what you want to happen. That is one heckuva machine too.

    I thought i was good at sharpening a chain

    race chain, ok. But a nascar engine won't work on a farm truck for very long. The second part of my post was directed towards the OP.

    I thought i was good at sharpening a chain

    If my chain looked like, I would have thrown it away long ago. Holy cow where'd your chain go?! Find someone near you who sharpens chain really well. Pick up a few of their favorite beverages of choice. Go for a visit and watch and listen how they sharpen chains. Pick up some good habits...

    Opinion on small chipper

    "Trying to sell them is like going on match.com to find a date and listing aids and leprosy as diseases you currently are infected with." Small chippers are HOT items. I looked for a couple years for one, they maintain their price and have no trouble selling. When I upgraded later I had...

    There are a lot of them out there, both stihl and husky. Some sellers are calling them "Aftermarket". They dont use the trade names, but use 372, 046 etc.
