Quick and secure and ideal for roof top Christmas Trees...

The two drop calves are big hits with the kids...

Bottle raised 3 and 5 weeks old...

The 5 week old boy is like a big dog... just as friendly as can be... chocolate brown in color

I know Hudson , is located in barneville NY. I was wondering what the price of their winches were compared to other brands? Uniforest. I'm in Newfoundland. There are no winched here go look at. And the only price I can see is approximately $ 4000 usd, for a 35m 7700lb. My tractor is a mahindra 28 hp. Less on the pto

Hud-son is in Barneveld, NY (about 60 miles east of Syracuse). The Uniforest 35M would be a good match for your Mahindra 2816. (as would a Farmi 351 or several other brands). I own the 35E, predecessor to the 35M.

We have a snow storm coming, they usually go around us, but we will get some of the snow, and I think some very cold days. SO, I moved a couple boxes of dry wood, one full cord in all, up to the basement windows,

I covered both boxes, so when needed, we will have nice dry snow free splits to throw down to the wood stove.

Life is G D lol

Andy1981. I noticed your location. I know Hudson , is located in barneville NY. I was wondering what the price of their winches were compared to other brands? Uniforest. I'm in Newfoundland.

Hudson is about 5 or 6 hrs from me on the other side of ny, I looked at the uniforest winches online and looked at prices but that was as far as I got with them. I went with the wallenstien fx110 with 3 extra choker chains and keyhole sliders and a self releasing snatch block and got it shipped to my door from woodward crossings cheaper than I could get it anywhere else around me.

Why is it, when you're down to your last piece of the day to split, the splitter runs out of gas! :laughing:

About 510 pieces split this afternoon, give or take.

How many peices does it take for you to make a cord? Nice stacks BTW.

 

[MossRoad]

I'm not sure. I don't measure it out by cord. I make a round stack that's 10' in diameter and 8' high. That's just shy of 5 cords. That seems to last me a full winter. I used to make them 10' high for about 6 cords, but I always ended up with wood left over the next spring. Only once have I used a full 6 cords. That winter I lit the fire October 1st and burned till April 1st. I used a total of 4 matches that winter!!! Brrrr!!! :laughing:

Last year I did not gather enough wood for this year (under the black tarp), but fortunately, its been a mild winter until this week. I'll have just enough. The stack not tarped in the picture is for next year. I finished it off to 8' high with the pieces I split today after I took the pictures. It's supposed to snow tomorrow, so I just got it done in time. :thumbsup:

Here's the math, if anyone's interested....

Pi times the radius squared times the height = volume of a cylinder.
A cord is 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic feet.

3.14 x 25 x 8 = 628 cubic feet.
628/128 = 4.9 cords.

3.14 x 25 x 10 = 785 cubic feet.
785/128 = 6.13 cords.
