    Log Grapple

    I have centering springs that hook up to the main grapple head along with travel limiting chains to prevent too much fore and aft movement. I had just finished painting it in these pics so they are not hooked up yet as I didn’t want them covered in paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Log Grapple

    Thought I’d share the 3pt log grapple I’m just finishing up for our Deere tractor. Should make moving logs out so much easier now and keep them up out of the mud. Grapple opens to a total of 55” width when fully extended, made it this way to make lining up easier and less dependent on being...

    Plumbers and my OWB

    Seriously, please don’t do this. You’ll be far more ahead to heat with natural gas. All the work you’re putting into cutting wood and massive amounts of heat are going right into the dirt. Buy the thermopex and save yourself years of headaches and wasted energy. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Plumbers and my OWB

    Look at all that money he saved...[emoji849] I don’t get why people think running uninsulated lines is a good idea. $1000’s of dollars in the OWB and then go cheap underground. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plumbers and my OWB

    If all they installed was bare water lines you may as well forget even turning the boiler on. All you will accomplish is heating up the dirt. Thermopex is the only thing to use for OWB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OWB explosion

    I’ve only seen mine do something even remotely close to this about 3-4 times. This would happen when I would put kindling or cardboard in to get a fire started. Basically what would happen is the fire would begin to consume oxygen faster than the fan could supply it, thus snuffing the fire for...

    Overflowing wood shed

    Same here, we may stack a perimeter to keep it where we want it but aside from that it goes into a big pile unstacked. We move through so much firewood so fast when we’re splitting that I don’t have time or desire to stack it. Ironically it all burns the same. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Hauling firewood on a landscape utility trailer

    We essentially ruined the suspension on our 16’ landscape trailer by hauling massive loads out of our fields when we were splitting. Basically filled it with the elevator until no more would stay on. We were only hauling it through the field to our barns, would never think of running it down...

    Which one do I buy Still 362C-M or just the 362 with no M-Tronic

    Not sure on that. I have no experience with the 361’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tree I.d. Help please

    Most definitely hickory. One on the ground appears to be oak. We have tons of walnuts and hickories on our farm and I would bet the farm it's not walnut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Correct. I thought it would be a hindrance, but really it works great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Couple pics from tonight. We're probably close to halfway done splitting what we've got down, maybe a little more than that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stihl MS362 owners

    Not sure where they're not sealing exactly. Seems to me when you clip the filter in the two lower tangs then snap it in it must buckle upwards in the middle around the seal. Mine was nothing but problems. Guy tried telling me the saw would run those fines through with no issues. I called his...

    By the way. Here is a pic I sent to the service guys... they told me this would not effect the saws performance or life. Yea sure it won't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stihl MS362 owners

    I called Stihl repeatedly about this issue... well I called the dealer that handles their service calls. One guy in particular was a real jerk about wanting to help. Anyways a few years went by and I called and raised all kinds of heck. At that point I knew they had sent out kits to convert...

    Speaking of elm, this was an absolute monster. Didn't realize we had any this big around here anymore. This one 16' log made 42, 2x6's. Had them cut for a small building we're going to put up. Never woulda guessed it would put out that much lumber. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Agreed. It's such a great wood for firewood. Typically straight grain, easy splitting and puts out good heat with little coals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
