Make sure that the wood is split and stacked for a good summer before use. Some people that sell wood around here let it dry on the ground in rounds, and then split it in September, and while it may have been standing dead, and it may have sat out a year in a round, it still takes a few months...

The thing I don't like about yellow poplar is, even though it burns hot, it never leaves me a good bed of coals. All I get is ash...so it's not just that there's a lot of ash to clean up (not usually that big of a deal), it's that you have to start a fire almost from scratch. I'll mix...

So, I wanted another chain...already dulled the first one, and I don't want to practice on my only chain. Nobody stocks the "official" chain locally. Found two in Silver Spring, for $28. That's about an hour drive one way. The chain says 72V on it. If you look on Oregon's site, they say...

That clutch cover is metal, I can tell now that I've already scratched it. ;-) Mine has the bogging on the trigger pull initially when you first get it cranked, but if you rev it up and let it get going, it fades away. Takes 30 seconds. However, I don't drain my saw after each use like I...

I think I've found it on the Husky, and if it is, then the Craftsman doesn't have it...but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for...I tried googling for an example, but there was a lot of junk that was unrelated...anyone have a link of what it's supposed to look like so I don't have to pour...

Finally got around to cleaning it. EPA is 50cc, as stated in a post above. Not sure what I'm looking for in regards to bar oil adjustment. I didn't see anything obvious, but I have some more cleaning to do. I think it may have just had some build up...it was pretty caked on. The manual...

When you place it next to the Rancher, it's eerily similar. I think it's a Poulan/Husky hybrid. Saw is in the truck right now, I'll fetch it in a few, so I can check for an oil adjustment and check that EPA sticker. I need to clean it up after yesterday anyways. The instruction manual was...

I bought one of these, and so far, it's easy to start, not that heavy (for me, and I'm a small guy), and cuts through anything like a hot knife through butter (as long as your blade is sharp). I was borrowing a neighbor's Husky 455 Rancher with a 20" bar, and this saw feels more powerful...

How much did the Line-X cost? I've got a LR Discovery that I've been thinking about doing that to...

Is that DOT legal? Do you need a tag on it if it's in the middle? I guess if it's in the day it doesn't matter? Do normal trailer lights count? I know off road, it's not an issue, but what if you were driving to a site? I've only seen tandem semi truck trailers...

Anyone notice the log splitter in tow behind that trailer?

I'm sure the axles looked fine when they were loading it. I mean, it *looks* sturdy. I bet it could handle 3 cords with a good weld. :crazy1:

I've been looking for trailers on CL, and I get interesting responses when I ask for axle ratings and what type brakes do they have. One guy told me he didn't know the axle rating, but he put 3 cords in this 6x10 with 6ft sides and it pulled just fine. No mention of brakes. Depending on how...

It's pretty consistent that properly stacked wood has an air gap that consumes 30 some odd percent of the total space the wood pile takes up. Yeah, it's an estimate, but it's statistically significant. For what you are doing, it helps to error on the side of caution, assume you are...

I was going to say that this thread is going downhill, but I think it started at the bottom, sooo... Is this what happens on rainy days?

What'd you say? Accord? Been cutting today, can't hear ya! :greenchainsaw: http://www.newcarpark.com/blog/images1/2009-honda-accord-concept.jpg

Not true. Any reference material is as good as the sources, and the person checking the sources. Instead of bashing Wikipedia, check the references. Some of the same references are here on a sticky in this forum, and come from the US Forestry Lab. Since all Wiki sources are hyperlinked, it's...

That's a ride. But to stoke the fire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewood#United_States

Short answer, don't do single axle. Even if you have a 7000lb axle with brakes...if something goes wrong, you're screwed. Now for the OCD observations: Some schools of thought say that you only get 74~96 actual cubic feet of wood in a stacked cord, depending on how you stack/cram your...

That was the plan until I tried to split some of the smaller rounds of that oak that I did take, with a Fiskars (no, not a SS :( ). Didn't budge. I'm young, but I don't have the muscle or energy to pull that off. I've got a few health problems I have to deal with. That Fiskars Pro...
