I also found out that gas engines dont run on diesel. Filled up the Timberwolf and tried to start it it started then blow smoke and died. Grabbed the wrong can so I had to siphon it out and fill with gas . Needed a few shots of starter fluid to get it going smoked like a biatch at first then cleared up. Guess it has an upper engine lube

It’s a lot better to put diesel in a gas engine then do the opposite. Diesel engines REALLY DONT LIKE gasoline

I guess I need to buy a yellow can for the diesel . I keep a couple gallons on hand for the kubota. Even have tractor in black marker on it.

Had a co-worker fill up my rented, diesel, pickup with no-lead, trying to be nice. Got confused by a 'low-emissions' sticker somewhere. Had to have it towed, drained, etc.

I think I ask too much from the tractor. Found that Hickory is extremely heavy. Specially green . I'm going to keep my eyes open for a bigger tractor and or excavator. This is my milling pile . Two maples two hickory and one red oak that's already been started on

Or, cut the logs in half?

Nice warm day for messing with wood.

I just finished splitting up what was left in my truck of hickory. Still have about a cord of hickory that I'll get around too later . This stuff is hard to split its heavy and stringy

Planned on doing more today, but things didn't work out for splitting today. I got another row across the front done for next yr, 4 more to go to fill the front half, maybe tomorrow I'll get another row done.

Took this oak down today. I cut it 25" for the shop stove I made. Hope its dry for next year.

Nice drop.
Usually takes longer than a year to season oak...from my experience and from what others say too.
I'd cut and season for 2 years out for species like Oak, Elm and some other very hard hardwoods. Even some Sugar Maple I've cut wasn't ready to burn next season.
If it's longer lengths it may take longer to season.

I am hoping because it was standing dead for two years that will help.

Got a load Wednesday, and another on Thursday.

I went for variety over quantity
A little ash, some cherry, a stick of red oak, 2 or 3 sticks of hackleberry, a couple of chestnut.
Loaded my neighbor's Ranger up four times and sent him home with enough firewood to keep his OWB burning for a while.

Looks like nice wood to work with...

I got ready for a couple fires other day in couple of my fireplaces. cold out. 33f range. made up some kindling, was thinking I should set up some kitchen wood, too. had plenty, but while walking my pups came across this. ez pickings. today on one corner where I just reached down and picked some of this up... carry in's... I see 2 good sized piles, some 3-4" branches, firewood sized oak trimmings. would make a nice wheel barrow or two. not a cord, but a lot of fire wood. may inquire if ok to cut up. it is on curb for pick up. but made up this for 2nd layer of wood. worked out well. got about the same tonite, too... but it all got burned up this afternoon... along with some oak coals for some fireplace cooking outside...
