Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?

Or would you just like to pull up a stump and visit with a friend?
If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you.

I have a friend who has a JD 440 skidder and the engine starts fast and runs smooth. After a few minutes of running a black liquid runs down the exhaust pipe and lands on block. The engine doesn't smoke.Any ideas?

Yesterday my day started off with two cars pulling up and three people introducing their self as OSHA inspectors. Two of them figured out that a small farm sawmill operation was not in their job but I had the pleasure of meeting a very professional young lady that dealt with noise.

Hi All,
Is there a harvester, be it a whole machine or just the head configuration, that would make it possible to push the tree over first before cutting the log? Just looking to harvest and clear 500 acres of hardwood and need the stumps out as part of the logging gig.

Good Day,

Little history. I bought a HM126 with 11 of the Lenox blades. I sharpened them many times and between the 11 blades almost wore out the profiled CBN wheel sharpener that I had made for it. I use this sharpener here.
