    I don't have time for fixing stuff, really. Luckily, my retired neighbor does, and will be my new mechanic. He is my labor-saving tool. A sharp tool!

    Mine leaks for some reason. IDK why/ where, and haven't gotten around to cleaning it to inspect and fix. I see how easy the bag works. At one time, Al Smith had figured out which o-rings are needed for Stihl caps, IIRC. I rarely use my pole saw, as it happens. Different markets, different...

    2.5-3.5" protrusions, I'd guess. It does work my AT doesn't/ can't. The chains are not the way to go. Jam-cleats and cord, maybe. The ratchet strap already on the truck! I've bent the frame a bit, but it just adds character. Not broken. Still truckin'!! I'll try to get the upgraded wheels...

    I'd like to make a little frame that will fit on the Arbor Trolley, with a insert for a tow-ball, to make a trailer dolly.

    Smart! A log pivoting trick...when you have a log that need to be rotated, either due to the conical shape causing them to roll to one side, needing to turn the corner of the house 90*, need to load the log with the 'other' end first so spin it 180*... You will want to set up a...

    Up here, most have wood stoves. Email the Craigslist ads from an ordinary email ( not business) and ask about lengths and species. Stacking fees. Payment options. Sales tax. I sometimes have a firewood seller pick up my wood for free, in big pieces that he loads with a mini-excavator. I get...

    16" fits in a 20" box... Know your market. What is advertised locally? If you're hauling wood, a quick way to go broke is a small pick-up load. At least your earning money as unskilled labor to stack wood. What is your hourly stacking rate? How far from the truck? How many stairs included in...

    Neither can a lot of Americans. People look shocked when I tell them that its is a standard volume measurement, now what fits in some guys truck. That's a type of a truck load.

    I love splitting by hand. It impedes me making money though, as I get tendonitis readily from hand splitting, plus handling lots of firewood. I don't know that I want to go back to wood heating...too much extra strain on top of climbing/ felling and some groundwork.

    Yes, soon after the Ogre arrived. Moves the chipper well, too. I was mostly saying that what might seem wimpy at 22 tons can do a lot for Robert without breaking the bank or back.

    It you get the far end of the log on the trailer, you're then able to slide a log on with some manipulation, minimal lifting. Cut on the trailer or drag off with power. If you can start to rustle up people willing to pick up wood, you can just get the wood to a public road, and sell it cheap...

    The trick of it is to scoot a corner of the blade under the COG of the log, use the handle as a 4' lever, with a slightly less than 1' extension on the blade (4:1), then pivot the log end over the handle. It will roll a heavy log through a gate or down a slope, with the weight carried totally on...

    Might cut the chains off, and simply use ratchet straps as needed.
