Really? I thought the big bore kit was 54?.... Maybe that's 56 then... I'll have to check. Purely out of interest mind.
You're right, 54mm standard 660

Lol. Woodchip loves his 395.
Today I put the splitter in it’s winter resting place. Went and looked again at the crazy multi trunk tree I need to take down for my farmer buddy. Decided to leave it for now mostly because the honey-do list is becoming overwhelming. On the way home stopped at the in-laws and they have a decent sized silver maple to come down as well so that will take care of next years scrounging. Hit the honey-do list hard and earned brownie points. Gorgeous weekend, shirts and t shirt weather. Be burning soon enough...

First order of business was to go cut up a load of firewood for a friend of Pioneerguy600 .
I ran a tank through the 241 for some small stuff then we put about 6 tanks through the 044s , all done in a little over 2 1/2 hrs .

After sammich tyme we made a beeline to the woods to get some scrounging in [emoji3]
We went out to the round hill to get the bigger wood that we left behind last fall.
We hauled out all the log length and got 2 baskets blocked up and hauled to the secret location [emoji41]
It was a great day.

Congrats L Neil!!!
Steve, great meeting you at the GTG yesterday, and thanks for the Blueberry Pie!!!
Wish I had video of what I did today, but did not realize we would have to do what we did. Took a White Pine down for my Step Son down in New Rochelle. Right on the property border, and right next to the road.
I saw the top was hung up, but he insisted we could "pull it through". Also, there was not straight pull in the direction we wanted to go, so luckily I tied a rope and pulley to another tree to give us the correct direction, and the rope winch to another tree. When the rope winch would not pull it through, I dropped it off the stump with some angled cuts (so the bar would not get stuck).
The tree top freed, but then it wanted to go in the wrong direction (by 90 degrees), but the rope would not let it. My SS did not want it to drop on the neighbor's lawn, so I took another rope, put the ladder on a nearby tree, tied it high up on the cut tree, and went over the branch of another tree and wrapped the other end three times around another tree in the "pull" direction. We then re positioned the come along to a tree 90 degrees away, I cut a section off the bottom, and the White Pine remained air borne as we pulled on one rope as we lowered the other rope, until it was entirely on the SS's property and we let it down!
It was nice when it was all over!!! Glad I brought extra ropes and pulleys with me!

The beans are off and the planter is on the other side of the bush. Time to get some loads home before the wheat is planted and the forecasted rain all this week. I got 5 loads hauled home and sold 2 loads of logs. My helper wasn't real keen while I was loading the wagon.

And what is digging these holes? Ash stumps, doesn't appear if they go up very high. Only on the stump cuts.
I could be wrong, but I think that may be Termites.
Just Jeff,
The ducting set up I have is this, Ø150 - 200mm duct (can't remember exactly) approx. 2 meters in front of the fire place in the ceiling (next to the down light). Pulls hot air from here to the other end of the house. Does this comply to your codes? Not sure what our code says but thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will look into it.

It depends a bit on the species and how big the splits are as well as the stacking methods - as is the case everywhere. The mid-range eucalypts that I normally cut which are close to your oak (whatever that is) and locust dry well in one summer. The denser stuff better off with two summers. I had some grey box which is 1.45 x black locust density and tried to burn some after one summer - didn't burn. Split one of the splits to find it was still green as grass inside. Two summers for that stuff. Definitely helps having the sun higher in the sky and low humidity in summer.
One thing I found out that interested me was that bigger rounds (bark still on) dry out faster than smaller rounds (bark on) of the same length. Since I can shove a round a foot thick into the firebox next to 2 inch rounds I've had ample opportunity to check it.
