firewood

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...

Has anyone put a pressure gage on their log splitter and calculate how much tons they actually use to split wood?

Looking for guidance from a few individuals. Looking for small tips from companies with profitable solutions other than tree work or storm work, to keep their companies operating thru the winter months. I'm primarily looking at Christmas lighting, snow removal, firewood, wood pellets and mulch...

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...

Hi guys. I cut and sell firewood in South Africa. Mainly black wattle, blue gum and one or two other species. I have been going through guide bars and chains like crazy. There must be a better option. Is there a guide bar option you would suggest I try that would possibly last longer than the...

I'm 13 and I just built this yesterday. How does it look?

Looking at either a Timber Wolf Alpha 6 or Wolfe Ridge 35SHO to get my firewood business rolling. I've got 2 tree services that will be keeping me supplied with wood, I have a lot of wooded land with mature hardwoods that I own, and have a logging company that would give me tops so I'm not...

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...

what kind of wood is this

I was curious where if anywhere I'd have to go to find bigger pieces of Fatwood/Pitchwood than a 4 pounder. in my neck of the woods I've found some in the wilderness and its mostly branches that size, I've heard of people getting these massive stumps and huge huge pieces! I've been trying to get...

First saw of my own, I’m hooked and ready to get more! I’ve cut a little with it but can’t wait to really put her to work! Love these 1127 series saws! These babies are tanks!

Hi all, First post on here so bear with me. I recently bought a brand new Husqvarna 372 X Torque in plans of it being my go to firewood saw for decent sized maple and oak. I am currently running a 24" bar with Husqvarna full chisel chain which has been touched up with a Pferd 2 in 1 file...

Well its that time of year again. Long time lurker and figured I would help out some of you DIYers. I have some back problems and made a unique setup to do my firewood to lessen bending over. Everyone's ideas are their own, but most need a starting point. Most here know if you can keep your...

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...

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?

I purchased a home last year with a Hotblast 1557 that is set up less than ideal. We used it last year during winter and it worked well enough, but not as well as I know it can. The current setup has one 8" supply line and one 6" supply line from the top into the main furnace supply line. The...

I thought this might make an interesting thread... Big Oak tree taken down this morning. I was hoping to make a nice log out of it, but it looks like it's going to be firewood :nofunny:. 395xp 32" bar. 46" stump. This big dude shook the ground pretty good when it hit. It will probably lay...

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...
