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...

We've been working over the past few months to finish off the dead ash on our farm. I've lost count of how many trees we've cut down, but it was a ton. This should keep us supplied for 10-12 years with the amount we've taken down. Attached are some pics of our setup Sent from my iPhone...

Being a mechanical engineer, I seem to always have projects going on at home. If I need a piece of equipment I just design it and then build it. This is the latest addition to our pile of equipment. Looked at a lot of grapples, seems anything at the $1k range wasn't going to hold up for us, and...

A group of buddies and myself just finished up our first saw mill build and I thought I'd share it with all of you. The main bed is 24' and can easily be added on to or reduced in length to fit the application. We did some unique things in that we nearly eliminated welding and went to almost...

Well my insurance company came by back in the fall to snoop around one day and take pictures of my place. I now conveniently get a " wood burner questionnaire" in the mail today asking all kinds of random questions that only pertain to an inside wood stove or furnace. I can see the writing on...

Anyone know the Stihl PN for the extension scabbard for the carrying case? I seem to only be able to find the ones that fit the standard scabbard you get with a new purchase. Thanks

Well, this has nothing to do with anything, but I thought I'd share. As of last Friday afternoon I completed all of the requirements for my bachelors degree in electro-mechanical engineering. Man, what an experience it's been. I've invested nearly 7 1/2 years while mostly working full time...

Is it totally necessary to run this with dual dogs? I see them generally offered as a set when sold, however I just picked up a used set of felling dogs minus the roller. Just curious if the dynamics of using the double dogs suites itself better to the roller. Thanks

Anyone have a part number for an outer dog for a 362, or just a larger set? The factory one is close to useless, especially if flush cutting a stump with any amount of bark... Not looking to go into the timber business, just would like to have some more functionality out of it. Thanks in...

Any opinions/experience with this saw? My dealer said that they can still be ordered as they were brought back because of demand. Anyone else heard this? What size bar will this saw handle reasonably well. 25"?

Any idea why a Stihl 362 wont start back up? I was cutting and heard it bogging down as it was about out of gas. Shut it down, refueled and it will not fire up... I know it usually takes a few extra pulls after it runs out. The only way I can get it to fire is to choke it. It will fire...

Anyone out there heard any updates on the filter situation with the 362's? My dealer said he sent one back to Stihl that was full of small particulates in the carb, hadn't heard anything yet though. He did say they were at a conference a few weeks ago and Stihl was acknowledging the problem...

Any pointers on replacing the oiler and clutch... Got. Flebay special " excellent" shape... Fired it up and heard a nasty noise. Clutch cover is flopping in the breeze, pulled the cover off the clutch is soaked in oil, I put my finger on the clutch to check if it really was oil and the entire...

Just picked up an 036 pro and am curious if the saw is deserving of a muffler mod or if it missed out on all of the EPA crapola. I haven't cut anything with it yet but it is a noticeable difference from my prior saw. Thanks

Couldn't pass up a picture of this....

Just looking for opinions on this saw. I have an opportunity to purchase one that is used but in excellent condition. Thanks for any input.

After having read all the positive reviews here about the Fiskars super splitter, I decided to try one. I just recieved it yesterday and I've got to say it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. For as long as I've been cutting wood I've been using a 6-8#? maul that just flat out wears...

Well, I've been tossing around ideas on designing something that I could retrofit to my OWB to try and decrease smoke... Mine is a homebrew, so I'm continually tweaking things and trying different things out... Aside from installing a secondary burn chamber, which isn't out of the question, does...

I have my circulating pump mounted in my basement for my OWB. My question is, on just two occasions now I have woke up in the middle of the night to hear the pump making a sort of "tapping" noise, it's not rythmic or anything... just random light taps. The pump is right below my bedroom so...

I've searched through these forums trying to find info on what the proper pH and nitrate levels are and can't seem to find anything. There are tons of references but no actual numbers that I can find. Can anyone help me out on that??? Last time I checked my boiler the ph was right about in...
