    Recommend a pump for my processor

    I've ran it for 5 years, not sure of the hours, probably 10 truck loads a year.. I have power beyond valves, it's a 2 stage pump, I was splitting twisted elm and it was in "low" gear almost the whole time.. the rubber part of the lovejoy coupling was wore pretty good but not completely wore...

    Recommend a pump for my processor

    Broke the input shaft on my hydraulic pump.. what is a good one to buy to replace this one? I'm running a 14 hp gas motor, 5 inch bore splitting cylinder and a hydraulic chainsaw.. I think the one I had was 21 gpm not sure of the brand, it does not have a id tag on it.. thanks!

    What tree grows 90 degree limbs?

    I remember seeing a wooden mallet made from a tree limb about 6 inches in diameter, the handle was the branch that grew off the limb.. it was perfectly 90 degrees just like a hammer you would have put a handle in.. the guy told me what type of tree it came from but I can't remember.. he said it...

    I think it's time for a new 'big' saw. Recommendations?

    I've had a echo 800 for probably 15 years.. it's a good strong reliable saw.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do they make electric outage alerts

    Yes, I think it's called a freezer alarm.. they go on a deep freezer and if it looses power it sounds an alarm

    Mill suggestions

    I made more than $2 a hour with mine, but I sold lumber.. not milling for other people on a per foot basic.. the logs came from my farm and fetched way more than if I had sold them to a sawmill

    Mill suggestions

    I have been self employed for 35 years.. ran a machine shop the whole time, have dealt with many many different companies and NONE hold a candle to Woodmizer.. not even close.. I would not consider any others.. plus when you get ready to sell it.. someone will want it!

    How to "turn" a wedge on a lathe..

    There is no telling how many wedges I have milled out in the past 35 years.. They are always a pain in the butt.. I often wondered if I could make one on the lathe.. I never could wrap my mind around how to hold it.. well I finally figured it out.. just weld it on a solid round stock at the...

    What do you keep your bar oil in??

    The reason I would like to find a better container is that I always end up puncturing the jug, I pretty much carry gas and oil in the back of my truck 24-7-365.. plus half a bed full of chains, binders, tool boxes, grubbing hoes, post drivers, my x27, at least one saw.. and so forth
