ATC4ever 1,078 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I have an old oil furnace, but use a wood stove in the basement as a secondary source of heat. Usually end up finding scrap wood where i can, though not desperate to get it. This year we had a bad storm, end of a hurricane, so i got lots of fallen maple, oak, etc downtown the following few days. Bit of a work out! Borrowed a bud of mine's wood splitter for the 2nd time ever in 2 years. Edited July 13, 2020 by ATC4ever 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superrman77 68 Posted July 27, 2020 Finally had a day off where I could put the 88 350d to work. I still have a lot of wood to stack and split. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbo Twister 545 Posted September 6, 2020 Yesterday, my dad, my best friend and I helped another friend with removing 2 large beech trees overhanging the road. We had to remove much of the canopy using the telescopic boom before gaining permission from the neighbour across the road to drop the second tree into his field. 17 helpers in total and a tele handler made quick and easy work of clearing the road beneath us. We also topped a load of leylandi cypress trees but the 2 of us were so busy with driving and cutting that we didn't get any photos. One little helper brought his own saw (Bosch!) to give us a dig out! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately for us it spun on the stump before brushing off us and almost crushing my wrist, my friend got away with a minor cut. Reaping the pain of it today! So we got permission to just drop the second tree in one cut at the butt, a much safer and quicker way to get it down! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RubiDan 596 Posted September 7, 2020 I'm new here and I just got through reading this thread and really enjoyed it. You guys have a lot of nice equipment. The only thing that I'd like to have that I don't is a front end loader for my tractor so I could scoop the wood up for splitting and just throw it right back in the bucket and take it to the woodshed. It may be in the future if I can find one for a good price that'll fit my tractor. I've got four chainsaws. Husqvarna 372XP, 346XP, 359 and a small Makita. The Makita is a rebadged Dolmar and it's very small and is fantastic for limbing. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have an oiler adjustment and it goes through a lot of bar oil. I bought the 346XP after the epa required a cat muffler so I just bought a non cat muffler and then set the high rpm with a tach. I've got a sharpener that came from Northern Tools and I think it's a close copy of one of the Oregon sharpeners. I like it because I'm a lousy hand filer and I just sharpen several chains and change them out when one gets dull. My splitter is a 22 ton Huskee and it has split everything I've tried with it but I could use a little more oomph on some of the gnarly stuff. I have an old Fisher Grandpa Bear in the basement that I heat with. I've read that they're not very efficient and that's probably true but it sure does keep the house warm. Ain't nothin' like wood heat. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcsman 1,381 Posted September 8, 2020 Bunch of us burn wood here, I figure 90% or so in the Michigan winter is wood heat, cut all my own from my woods so price is right.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Bird 93 Posted September 8, 2020 I live in the city. It is illegal to have a fire on your property. People do it. I just moved in with my fiance. Had a fire the other night. Just a small one. Guess the neighbour called the fire department on us. Warning issued. Next time $550.00 fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like the local teenage trouble makers need to be antiquated with that neighbor... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
