Hope you're Stihl scrounging Clint.
When I had my hernia surgery last year, for three days, I couldn’t sit up to get out of bed, so I watched movies all day. I was down to old “B” movies and saw that one. Best part of the movie was the song.
One of my favorite Brew Houses had Roo Tacos for the special of the day. Now when ever I see one I’m looking for the ”tortilla’s”
Looked it up and it’s called “The Worlds End”
I was buying some 500-1000 pound flat stone to make a walkway through our flower beds. They had a giant articulated fork lift for loading tractor trailers. Told the cashier, I’d love to play with that thing all day! She said, “we are hiring?”50' and there's an end Lol.
Even at 3600 I would have done what I am myself, I really enjoy running equipment, maybe I should get a job doing that.

I should have said these bars from this company.

The yota is ready to go get some firewood and try out it’s new shoes.
The high speed banging in the deck will do it. I did the same on a few Cub Cadets that I have owned over the years.
Go get a CT Scan. You should not be losing a pound a day. Your life may depend on it. Mine did 19 months ago.
I know that feeling about welding over at our farm next door. Our 36' x 60' barn was built around 1865. Although the new floorboards are Oak they are 40 years old now.
Nice catch.Not a wood scrounge, but...$100
A Jons 2050 came with it for another $50

I run the Cooper A/T MAXX on my RAM 2500. I love those tires.
Amen to this. Can’t stress enough how important it is to have the right people around you!
L65 is my favorite saw so I’ve always wanted one of those!Not a wood scrounge, but...$100

I was totally joking, which I think you knew. It's nice no matter the size just to have something on your own property.
Since I shortened mine up I think it looks more like a square hole in the ground(with round corners lol. I think it's mainly because the deep end makes it look shorter. Depending on how much dirt it takes to fill the dam and grade everything else out I may have to make it even more square, we'll see.
If you have that high of a water table it's tough using a small piece of equipment unless you have a way to pump it while you work, I wish I had that problem out back.
Even at a few miles an hr it wouldn't take long compared to how long some jobs take. I spent about 6 hrs on my Kubota yesterday and Friday evening, I'm down to a quarter tank of fuel and filled it Fri before starting.
Made some good progress though. The dam is way wider across the top bot from front to back and side to side, it's moving up and out, but slower now.

Just a thought, perhaps some sort of starter mechanism could be formulated with an electric impact?
Being that you’re physically able to do every other part of firewooding, would hate to see you stop because of not being able to start the saw.

I would not even try an electric impact to state a motor. I can almost guarantee you will either strip the nut out that holds the flywheel on or split the flywheel. If needing to use some outside source of power to spin it over I would use an electric drill without the hammer drill option.
Just brainstorming here, you know what I’m trying to get at…
Well, it’s an overcast day here. I think I’m going to try to get some work done in the garage and maybe find a few things to put up for sale to try to clear things out a little bit. We’ve acquired four riding lawnmowers in the last 72 hours so now we need some more room.
Yesterday was one of those days where there was two hundred things to do and I got about six of them done. I ended the night with going to an orchestra concert at the high school auditorium where I went to school. They are tearing the school down in June, so it was the last concert other than the high school band concert next week. Our auditorium was arguably the second nicest high school auditorium in the state. It’s sad to see the building go but at the same point it’s better for it to be torn down there to watch it go into despair like a lot of public buildings do after they’re left empty.

I've never ran one of those, it does look fun. I actually saw a small one on Craigslist yesterday for 5500, it needed a rear differential, he said he couldn't find one anywhere. Searching the model I believe him, hardly anything came up and when you clicked the link half the time it was gone, but I tried
.Could have really used something like that yesterday. Who was it that said something about fish habitat
(don't think I don't know (nice score BTW).Found a vein of clay, and it was full of rocks. This one was to heavy to lift(1400 I'd guess) pushed it up the bank and was able to get it in the bucket and then the loader up in the air about 3'. I carried it up out and when I got onto the flat area up top it fell out.
