    Box Elder, your thoughts

    I've been heating the house for the past 3 weeks on boxelder I cut down two falls ago. I clear fencelines on my farm and there's a fair amount of boxelder in them, along with black walnut, mulberry, ash, elm, burr oak, etc. If I'm gonna stick a saw in it, I'm darn sure I'm gonna burn it. Now...

    I'm done stacking!

    Intermediate Bulk Containers. IBCs for short. I used to work for a agronomy business. The valves would go bad, or the pallet underneath would get damaged. We cut up hundreds of these a year. We also tossed the super sacks that seed came in,too. I remember emptying an entire semi load of...

    Built my second one today and this was my first time out trying it. I was hoping to load it a bit heavier, but noticed one rear needed a bit of air. I'll air it up and try again with the first one I built. I also included a pic of the one I traded the aprons for. I'm gonna keep it complete...

    .....portable firewood rick! I went to a consignment sale earlier this week just to buy this Knight 17-7 forage wagon. I am really tickled how this worked out. I was able to sell the running gear from under it for the same money I bought the whole thing for. I wrenched apart most of it, and...

    Hauling wood with a flat bottom boat?

    Ok, so bad plan. I also have a busted up poly tank here. The plastic is 1" thick. Wonder if I could find a way to attach it under the wheels of my dump trailer to make a skid plate. What's happening is the axles get hung up on the snow in the middle of the wheel tracks. Any tractor smaller...

    Hauling wood with a flat bottom boat?

    Hey all, I have a plan to buy a couple manure spreaders for hauling wood at the first opporunity. Right now, I'm hauling with an 8 by 14 dump trailer. Snows getting pretty deep, and the tractor and trailer make deeper and deeper trenches. I figure another 6-12 inches and I'm done hauling...

    How long 'til I burn it???

    Haveawoody - You were absolutely right about the maple. I threw in some maple last week and it burns just fine. It was cut spring 2013 and split in September. Dunno how it'd do in a fireplace, but the OWB likes it! Funny how the pin oak cut October 2012 doesn't burn as well...

    Grapple Rake??

    Mine's a RVM rock bucket with dual grapple tops. Had to reroute the hoses as they were poorly placed and not protected. I've torn off 6ish hoses in the year I've owned it. Then one cylinder mounting ripped out. I think the problem was that they are mounting grapples as an option on the rock...

    Some people can't read -or- they're just twits

    Yup, bulldozing out fencelines to make room for more corn. With all meat production done in feedlots and high density barns, I swear there won't be a fenceline left in the country the way it's going. A guy keeps 20 hives on my farm and he constantly complains about the fact that all the...

    An acqaintance of mine works with doing those type things. He's also making bio-char to put on his gardens. I'm really interested in his progress in that field. Cut up anything over 3 inches for firewood and coarse chop the rest to make bio-char to put on the fields.

    You know, I thought of Spidey first, but I figured he wouldn't be wasting his time calling and harassing a guy with a CL ad as he needs to invest that time in typing long, long rebuttals to his many pissing matches on here... "No, really. The world is FLAT. I looked out my front window and...

    I agree. I have had two good, responsible guy come out already and have several other promising prospects. I was just frustrated that someones gotta put a turd in the punchbowl. Bet he has a lot of friends that value his company...

    Sure! they can play in the trees as you cut them! It'll help them to speed up their reaction time! Each tree is 1000 cords, or 15,000 ricks, or half a million beautifully turned bowls.

    Good Good News! My farm also features river front property on the Grant River. You can have a line in the water while cutting! Whether or not you'll hook a trout is another matter...
