Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

My DeWalt (corded) circular saw rips right through this stuff, with a lot smaller kerf! I'm sure it helps that the wood is still wet with sap.
Processed most of the floorboards and frame for the floor, still need to process the legs (still in the truck) and railing and cross braces. Hope I milled enough, but if not, I'll try to find the time to mill some more. I'm removing all the sapwood as I know that will rot (for outdoor use). Conversely, White Oak heartwood should hold up very well.

Do you sell your slabs, or are they for personal use, or a combination of both?
I milled the legs and part of the floor frame 2" thick and the rest of the boards are 5/4".
Only for personal use. A couple of years ago I milled some logs for $, but it was too much work.
I plan to mill some of the Ash up at my property as it may not be there in the future!
Plan to build and additional structure (in part) to store the wood inside.
looks like your all set with the Boy Scout method just in case that kindling doesn't quite get your fire startedView attachment 1117576View attachment 1117577
A couple weeks ago I split up a bunch of kindling. It's good and dry now so I moved it inside ahead of the rain. Normally I split kindling as I go on a daily basis, so this is new to me. My wife will appreciate it when I'm not home.....which she seems to appreciate a little too much.
Didn't remember you ONLY had a CSM. Yes, I guess you did have a time milling around that mess. I have to cut firewood out of piles like that and I sympathize with you. It's hard on the back. Still, I wish I had a big saw and a CSM and to be able to mill lumber when ever I need it. Heavy equipment would be nice. Could you have chained up the log and pull it out of the pile onto clear ground with your truck?
That was just a recent thing from what I've gathered, but yanmar was supposedly supplying the engines to tym anyway. It's a shame as far as I'm concerned, yanmar made an excellent tractor under their brand and just about every smaller deere tractor for years. Hopefully quality doesn't go down hill. I really like my old yanmar I have, besides it's just 2wd.
Here's a press release off tym site.

It would have ended up in the street. I have limited space.
I have several MS660s (066s) and 660 clones that I use for the milling.
All were either Asian clone kits or dead saws brought back to life. (or a combination of both), so they did not break the bank.
I have a top link on my tractor but no side link. If I'm running my hydraulic feed chipper and a grapple on the front then something needs to get unplugged. Fortunately the top link stays where it is at because it needs pressure to move it in and out. Maybe someday I'll rig up a bracket for the 3rd lever.

Beater saws are great. It’s why we keep 3 extras in the bed just in case
Had to get a couple loads in before the rain later this morning.
Man, this lousy twisted box elder doesn't stack worth a darn. And I already have a couple of mountains of uglies.

I dunno, when guys in my neighborhood started trading in their old Kubotas and replacing them with much more affordable LS models, I was skeptical, but time has proven me wrong. They have been solid, parts seem to be plentiful and rhe dealer network continues to grow. Hopefully the same holds true for TYM with their expansion into our market.
That time of year that even when the sun comes up, you still can't see nuthin'.
what do u do with all that wood, H-R? pix?
Mahindra has exploded up along the county line... never seen so many red tractors before... !
they got a cordial, welcoming sign up on front door of the place:
"We are a serious business. we know what we are doing.
do not come in here to waste our time or those of the
counter folks in parts! "

Don't know what is going on, but this guy hung out in the same location for more than 4 hours!
Season does not open till 10/25!

I like TYM tractors a lot. I almost bought their 754 earlier this year before I bought my Kioti. The only reason I didn't buy the TYM was because the Kioti salesman was a little better at his job. I did a lot of research on the TYMs and I like all of their specs and features.
TYM did just buy Branson tractors this year as well.
