Sawmills and Milling / Re: Horizontal slab shaver.
Last post by Dave Shepard - Today at 08:21:55 PMNo, this machine was more like a big planer, the slab was fed through with some sort of roller system.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Need tractor help please
Last post by thecfarm - Today at 08:12:40 PMI wonder if it's getting enough fuel?
I had some trouble one winter. Had a very small hill to go up and it would not go up it. I think I had to let the bowl fill up with fuel and then I could go until the bowl was empty.

Forestry and Logging / Humboldt vs. Conventional
Last post by WhitePineJunky - Today at 06:44:20 PMI use both but over time lean more toward using conventional, I see a lot of people say you waste wood as you take a notch from what will be the Butt of the log, I disagree on it wasting wood, a conventional notch allows to get lower on the stump making up for the face notch loss.
Humboldt definitely leaves it look neater IMO though
Something pretty trivial and not big deal I suppose but was curious what thoughts here are?

General Board / Re: The weather 2024
Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 06:40:18 PM82°F here today and sunny. A dry heat. I think it was 54° this morning.
Finished up 24 acres of spacing this morning and had time to mark a piece off for Monday on a hardwood site, 12 acres I think.
Hope you get your power back soon. I heard some area in the US lost some main lines, weeks before they get repaired and back on. Nasty weather to do all that.
Never seen generator hookup like that around here. They do a subpanel up here, and has to be switched before those circuits get gen power.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Need tractor help please
Last post by PJS - Today at 06:39:31 PMIf it's a fuel issue, your Kubota should have one of these somewhere on it to save you bleeding everything. My mx6000 gets hay and stuff stuck under the pedal from time to time and won't start without jiggling the pedal.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Need tractor help please
Last post by Wlmedley - Today at 05:54:16 PMIf it seems to run alright without any load on engine and then stalls under load fuel pump is probably starving for fuel.Maybe fuel filter wasn't the problem and you have a obstruction in a line somewhere.There is quite a bit of difference in fuel needed to just run and when loaded up and governor opens up.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Did something dumb today.
Last post by Resonator - Today at 05:51:09 PMAt my grocery store the computer reads my receipt, and then sends coupons for stuff I frequently buy. I get the coupons for free coffee usually the day after I buy coffee. Or I loose track of the coupons until I find them a couple days after they expire.
