Pine you say I have 75 cord setting in a field waiting to come to its new home and it all is free. Well not quite free I pay taxes on the land and we used our excavators, dump trucks in the process so maybe only $2000 a cord :) Burn pine all year long

pipe layers dozer have side booms,in OK and TX I have seem acres of them but that was 20 years ago

The oil like sheen could be tannins from rotting leaves. Drop of Joy dish detergent will sink oil (do not let the Coast Guard see it :))

I have a friend who burns today what he cuts this morning and we bust his butt each year about it. WELL this "spring" I have had to buy a grapple load of "green" because I did not have time to prepare for our 8 months of winter. Part that sucks is I have 100 acres and the equipment to harvest my...

One time I was picking up wood on my property that the power line choppers had left for me and along came a pickup, they stopped to inform me I was taking their wood. Asked if they owned the rights to the land and their reply was they saw it first and any wood on the side of the road was there...

I have a wood doctor 10000 and when it is burning you can not see any smoke. We heat 2 buildings with it and it has been online for 5 years. Maintenance is every couple of weeks shoveling a bucket of ash. Wood doctor is no longer but I would buy a boiler designed like this again. But do the...

I have a 943 bobcat and is great for wood as long as the ground is hard and level. Seen guys not familiar with its center of gravity tip them over, so practice with a full load to get use to the tipping, Mine is good size and rated for 2400 lbs lifting capacity but will do much more. Debated...

I have the same problem long driveway but we have a nearby neighborhood of thieves and they drive in and say they are lost. I placed a metal gate and a sign "if you can read this your in range" and so far no issues, also helps to be known as the "crazy f**k who lives up that drive way".

My boiler burns pine fine, we use it all year long mixed with hardwood in the colder times for a longer burn. Cut with a 455 husky(we have several of the husky, they take a heck a beating and keep going strong) Pine is about half the btu output than oak but when it is free and delivered that is...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]247530[/ATTACH Brother cleared a couple of lots and gave me the pine(cheap bast*rd kept the hard wood) looks about 25 cords excuse the crap scattered around boiler, you do not see "the forest thru the trees" till you take a photo

Went to bed last night and thought oh sh*t forgot to fill stove then rolled over and fell asleep, had a 1/2 box in morning "spring has sprung....maybe"

In the boonies and no one bothers you, is there room for one more. I promise not to bring northeast lib ideas and laws. Maybe a couple of firearms and a donkey or two:)

Make sure your truck is the gvw or dmv will have a field day. Probably powered by a pto that is mounted off larger trucks transmission. Truck that is to light will have no payload with the weight of the body. I have built a couple of flatbeds so plan well because now DMV will bust you for...

I set up a couple of foscam outdoor cameras and have it set up if you show up it emails me your pretty picture. One problem my darn turkeys trip them and I receive 20+ emails of their pretty faces. I hated to have to do this to keep my stuff but it does give one peace of mind.

I throw in a tire now and then just to cover the smell of the pigs

I to live off the beaten path so no problem with smoking out neighbors but mine is a gassifer so little smoke. But we do have a subdivision about 1500 ft thru the woods that we call snottyville. One #####ed(kicked their kids on 4 wheelers off the property chasing deer so they do not like me)...

Check the gauge of the steel because I bought an "inexpensive one" instead of building one and now I am in construction stage of a new one. I got 6 years and the underneath is rotted out, I washed it all the time to prevent salt damage to no avail. Right now a bag grain is about all I dare to...

Bought a Lowes meter for fun and after checking a half dozen pieces at less than 20 % meter still kept burning the wood, the meter went into a box. Buddy of mine decided selling wood is a (quick way to lose money) quick way to get rich, sold his first cord and got the call "It will not burn"...

I have a 943 bobcat and it is great, they are not an all terrain tractor Mine will pickup a lot more than its rated 2400 lbs but you balance on two wheels. I have used it as a skidder but not the risk of getting stuck or tipping over.

Used 1 1/2 " crushed stone about a foot deep in my wood shed and it works great. We use stone for drainage all the time and as long water can not pool and you rake the bark up each year it has been fine
