    Newbie with many questions

    Old apple trees are well rooted. Take out the smaller stuff but leave the larger apple trees to renting a mini ex. You can do a lot of damage with one of them in a day or two.

    Need 7-16 r 1 tire the right size.

    Did you try Pete’s Tire Barn? Listing size has no objective parameters. Seems the manufacturers do not necessarily adhere to a standard actual dimension. Who makes your current ones on the Kubota?

    Looks like a death trap to me complete with bait. (I'm not quite right am I)

    Well I know I can't because I had drowned once when I was 16 and only by a stroke of luck that I am still here. I'll tell you one thing. Even though I wasn't in the water any longer at that YMCA, I was floating however for a good long time after Lauren pulled me out. Hmm? Had been at this Y...

    I fell in one of those once. Had just given blood and was holding my (at the time) 3 yr old grandson by the edge Of a ymca facility. Got up quickly from a stooping position and passed out into the pool. Cant swim either so it was a fun time. Grandson couldn’t stop laughing that papa went into...

    Ok Now l see. You don’t burn 24/7 mostly relying on your furnace beyond a certain temp and then supplementing w the wood stove. My main house is a log home and very poorly insulated as a result. l go thru about 5 full cord there and rely on the boiler for supplementary heat or opposite what you...

    If you said you were in Canada, that’s pretty good that you only used what you did. Shows what good insulation can do. Your splits look to be about 16” so you only used one and two thirds full cord for the entire season. Rather spectacular I’d say.

    Ya know hunt, the professional ground cutter is a dinosaur. Most trees growing in the New England forest grow rather upright because they are all in competition with one another to catch the sun w their crowns. None the less, there was always that "problem child" tree that went against natures...

    Who ever said living in the sticks is cheap? We have to have so much stuff to stay independent. Freedom ain't cheap either but it is priceless.

    If there was a gas cap on my body somewhere, I think it may have fallen off as well.

    As they dry, they shift. My single rows fall to either side but mostly to the east. Consequently, l now stack in 15 ft sections where the row is supported by two 2 x4’s stuck in cinder blocks. That method has reduced topple overs even stacking 4.5 ft high.

    Another tractor manufacturer out of business?

    Absolutely. They place the homeless in the wrong spots. In the city where they crap on the sidewalks and leave their needles all over the place. They give them tents and they prop them up in city parks or sidewalks and parking lots. If a person needs to have assistance i have no problem with...

    Not fair Shooter. I'm talking a machine that can make "rows" but I feel if your wood can actually dry being all bundled up like that, it is the way to go. Split it and don't touch it again till you grab it to burn is the benchmark in my mind.
