He's still not learnt to avoid the heat of the early afternoon, and judging by the fact his wood pile doesn't seem to have shrunk any I don't think he's learnt much yet, but he has bought a 2 in1 file! Now maybe two hands and a little bit more effort than the tickling he was doing... Maybe. I see the file as a positive step and I commend his determination. He would be dangerous if he knew what he was doing.
I can completely understand about the weather. I dropped four standing dead maple last week, and they're still laying in the woods. Been too hot here, and a lot of rain, so I've been waiting for a decent break in the weather to drag them out and buck them. I just can't take the heat the way I used to anymore.
I'm not worried about them, even though the cooling fan on the van hasn't been working for yrs(I keep forgetting to fix it), but I often check gauges. Having driven truck or a long time, you get used to watching them as well as your mirrors. Guess my pre-trip inspection wasn't as good as yours, or I would have caught the soft spot in the heater hose.hi chipper - car problems on the roadi am always concerned about engine temps, especially traveling on hiway in these temps! 118f heat index in Dallas area yesterday! when i pop hood to ck eng oil, i feel all around the water sys hoses... looking for soft spots on or in hoses. drips or a-f leaks... so far so good!
glad u got it all fixed. good job!
that barn!

Was at a buddies on wed, he had a large horse trough with water running into it to cool the drinks
That would be a good use for it.Was at a buddies on wed, he had a large horse trough with water running into it to cool the drinksfor the party(not horses lol), overflow went into is pond.
All those spelling errors, I'd guess the heat really got to you

Yeah, not sure what the temp was, but the drinks were certainly chilled.
You liked it before I got a chance to fix it. Anybody called u a smarta$$ yet today.All those spelling errors, I'd guess the heat really got to you
90 here now with a low humidity for us of 49%, it doesn't feel nearly as bad as 90 normally does.
The brain swelling must be going downYou liked it before I got a chance to fix it. Anybody called u a smarta$$ yet today.

Still have a headache so there may still be some swelling. Nice I was able to compliment u.The brain swelling must be going down
Not yet today, but the day isn't over
Besides, in comparison to what I've been called, that would be a compliment
Hope it goes away soon.
. Rented a stump grinder and I had to get the most out of it!What's it cost you to rent a stump grinder? Also, is it run off of a tractor's PTO, or have it's own engine? I've been considering buying a PTO powered one for awhile, but then forgot about it, and forgot what they cost to buy. I'd love to have one, so that when I cut trail through my woods for the tractor/UTV, I could just grind the stumps down afterwards.Hope it goes away soon.
I had one the other day, happens when I'm out working all day and don't get into the house until 10:45
$265 out the door for a day(8hrs on the machine), self powered with tracks and around 25hp. It did just fine for what I was doing, but more power and a larger wheel would have been nice for a few I did, but the job I rented it for I needed something that wouldn't track up the yard, which had a sprinkler system(read soft), a hill into the back yard that also slopped to the side.
.
What's the HP recommendations for it?

I did a total of 18 stumps, about half just below the surface for mowing and the others much deeper, it used just over 8 gallons of gas in just under 8 hrs. I was pretty whooped the day I rented it as I drove about 120 miles and ground 17 of the stumps and hauled the grindings from the job to the trailer. The next morning I ground the last and biggest double stem cherry I dropped for a neighbor a couple yrs ago, it took me about an hr, but it had some root flares that ran out about a ft off the stump and were still exposed(it was flush cut before I started on it. I did a black locust that was cut about 8" off the ground that took 2 hrs, it was only 15" across
Thought I had a video dropping the cherry, but that was at a different neighbors, dropping a nice sized black locust.
Here's what I have on the cherry, fun tree.
