If it ain't broke don't fix it.

We had spring weather in the Winter, now we are getting winter weather in the Spring. It is mid 20s this morning, so anyone burning wood is not done yet!

Little snow yesterday . Cold today it’s 26 * at the moment . Stove usually runs into April but I only feed it twice a day most days . Morning just to get the chill out and load for the evening . My home gets direct sunlight all day so even in 30-45 degrees days the house is warm .

Consider this
I have burned 3 cord on the nose that is WAY less than the previous season. Usually burn close to 5.5 cords per season.

At least I won’t have to put as much in the basement next fall still have a cord+ stacked down there . Bad thing is I have to work around it . I usually move my table and band saw into the empty wood area

I prefer the quick attach style like yours. It was one of the best investments that I have ever ever made. They make a great work platform using an IBC tote on it strapped to the headgear.

I used an XL12 back in 1973 to clear most of my land for my house. It was a great saw until I cooked it up. I then bought a used 10- 10 Mac to finish the job along with my FIL super heavy Titan.

I don't drink coffee. My last cup was in Sept. 2016.

We burned just over 3 cords of wood this past Winter. I stopped burning 3 weeks ago. I could be burning today.

I went down in the basement yesterday to check out taters. Seems that they have been screwing around growing all these little kids. I taught them a lesson on how to behave in the dark. I de-spuded them.

Bit faster, but not earth shadering faster. If I was upgrading I'd go 16 gpm provided the engine can handle it and you don't have -6 hoses everywhere.
