    Farmertec Warning

    Hello All, Long time reader, first time poster. I wanted to warn everyone of the underhanded tactics Farmertec utilizes. I like most other people, could not afford a big saw for the little work i was planning on using, and could not even afford a used big saw that i could find. So i was...

    Tell me your dream splitting or processing equipment

    I want to know what your opinions are on splitters and processors and what you want to use. Personally, I use a Stihl Pro Splitting Maul and an MS 261 C-M because I can't afford the equipment I want. My dream setup for splitters is either one of these Eastonmades: The ULTRA...

    Is this BLACK MOLD????? But seriously is it?

    I bought some boards from a local guy that has a small sawmill, he said these were white oak. I know that there is a lot of color overlap between red and white oak, but these look pretty red to me. These were not stacked well at the property where I picked it up and were pretty much open to the...

    Tree identification Central Virginia dark wood

    After the snowstorm here a few weeks back I cut up a downed limb nearby and threw it in the truck. Finally split it today. Really nice looking wood, fibrous grain like oak (if that’s the right description), as opposed to more smooth grain like poplar or maple. I was really surprised at how...

    Firewood identification

    This tree from my observation rotted at the bottom and fell over on this car. I bucked it up so it's like a wooden caterpillar now. What kind of tree is this and why does it look like this? Is it a little rotten and very seasoned? What causes this bright smooth wood look and chip panels?

The current setup has one 8" supply line and one 6" supply line from the top into the main furnace supply line. The...

    We're rolling into the 2021firewood season with new-to-us equipment

    We bought this 2008 Sterling in the spring of 2020, it came with a 14ft tilt deck. We then spent the summer choosing a grapple setup and designing a mesh cage. The grapple loader is a Palms 3.64 with 21ft reach. The two part cage is removable (left side with door, and right side with door) to...
