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 delivered some parts to a garage and saw a brand new Wallerstein 3pt winch on back of a 55 hp tractor.
never been used at all.
He said he is looking forward to wearing the paint off it.
I think he said it was a 4000 model?
I am ready to get going!!!!

Does anyone have experience with the water absorbers that you plunk into the tank? I remember these things from the 70's and 80's when I was a young truck driver and our fuel was often contaminated with water(and dirt), but they seem to have mostly fallen off the map.

After looking for a long time and having quite a few potentials fall through I finally scored a mill of my own. Found a Thomas 6013 model. It's not all shiny but mechanically seems well cared for and in good condition.

Prior to getting it I had called Thomas just to see about parts availability when needed and any key points or weaknesses to look for. Super nice people to talk with and very knowledgeable. He told me anything you need for parts I've got sitting on my shelf right now. Was nice to hear these days.Read More

I need to remove this center adjustment piece on a Gearmatic 8A. I have tried penetrating oil, heating and made my own spanner. Not moving at all.
Any suggestions?
