Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[JimR]

Unclear; does the temp gauge drop when it doesn't blow hot air into the cab?
Some heater core circuits require cracking a hose fitting to bleed out air.
Day three on the elm. that 12" leaner branch is on the ground bucked up now.
Took 3' cuts off till I could reach the crotch then it fell two ways.

About a cord split hauled and in the racks

At least another 1 1/2 to go. Just got the rounds cut from the 15' of 28" trunk.
Splitters 100' away at the bottom of the steep hill behind Allison. Lots of rolling rounds to the splitter.
Had this happen in TWO saws today. Think it's the first time I've stuck a chain that way and I've cut quite few elms before.
Had to loosen the chain and dig out the swarf. Took a hammer n screwdriver to free the end sprocket on the other bar. Darned stringy elm.

I had that same thing happen to me today on a piece of Beech. I had to pry the chain out of the bar.

I'm almost out of wood. I have surgery for a Hernia Nov 7th and I've contacted all of my customers, and told them their wood was safe till I'm mobile again, or they can come pick it up, or I can bring it in the next few days. Three guys pick theirs up anyway, and it's ready and stacked on the court. All the rest but one are getting in now. One didn't respond. His dad is my neighbor. I'm giving odds that he calls the day after surgery and says he's ready for his wood now. His will be ready in March.

No and that was the other thing I was wondering the rad and fan in this thing is huge could just be really efficient at cooling it down too.

The radiator can be cold but the motor will still be hot if the thermostat is working properly.

Good luck with the surgery.

Hey BRUFAB!! I hate it when that happens. Sometimes they just won't clear on their own.
Drug the 4000 poulan back out tonight. ( The one where I thought I'd done the carb but I hadn't). It got a carb kit and I'll be danged...... She fired right up. Go figure!!

 

[Brufab]

How many miles on that? I had one go about 250 and the other was still going when I sold at 326k

325k on everything but the motor, motor could have 150-250 as it was a replaced before we bought a some point by the previous owner. He had money and owned a local buisness in town so I took his word. Good oil pressure, no blue smoke

That's great to hear sure beats that hostage situation you been in lately

 

[bob kern]

Lol. That's just my running joke about work. Can't really complain... It pays the bills. How's your new job going?? And Hannah's new venture?

Pro Safety has changed up their four points once again! They're making the bottom tine and two middle tines even longer now! This is their fourth four point design that I know of. I haven't tried them yet. Slapping them on tonight. We'll see how they do tomorrow.

The dawgs on the left are one of Pro Safety's older design's. I believe their second or maybe third. The Dawgs on the right are one of their newer designs.


Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

Great job, looks nice.
Do you weld for a living.

Same here literally got 2 last night in the garage myself farmers taking down the field next to us.

I've gotten 4 this fall, all within two days a couple weeks ago. Nothing since, which seems kinda odd since it's been pretty cold this week.

Nice. We got about 10 min worth the other day down here, lol. Big flakes but nothing stuck.

I had a bar cease up like that with wood chips while cutting Chestnut Oak several years ago. I freed my sprocket tip the same way (WD-40, screwdriver and hammer). I believe I have only had it happen when the tip is buried and I'm pressing it.

I try to either select a longer bar or cut over the top first, so I don't bury the tip so much.

 

[singinwoodwackr]

All you guys talk about is gas or diesel trucks…
don’t none of ya have one of them new electric ones?
I hear they’ll pull 10k# at least 75 miles on a charge

Dead animals might be to off topic for this thread.

Well, I just got an elk tag. If I succeed on punching it? I won't post a picture if it! Although, I may post a picture of the elk.
