Rented a diesel dyna SC 15 to put up firewood this year.... impressed to say the least. Bigger live deck would of been better for some real pole wood but it worked slick.

Too wet to do much but clearing saw work in the woods and raining again/still. Did a bunch of work to the saws during nights last week so perfect morning to work up some firewood!

One of the whacks that came out during thinning over the winter.

Side note I do not know why my luck with Briggs motors is such garbage but this predator has been badly abused for years now and even though it has not been fired up in months and I had to track the primer bulb down because a goose stole it, it fires right up every time. Really upending notions of what is "commonly known" to be low vs high quality and I despise HF

"I had to track the primer bulb down because a goose stole it..." OK, whaaaat?
I have one predator motor that I am using on my saw buck upgrade and I have to say that although I haven't used it for cutting (still testing and building) I was impressed when I added oil to the engine, gas, and it started on the first pull!

DMF, I'm wondering the same thing say_what

mike_belben · July 29, 2021, 10:05:16 PM

I have a vtwin predator that sat in the box new for 6 years (worth double now!) So long the box fell apart. And same thing. Instantly fired up and idled great.

I am lucky if the host of old american small engines i have fires half the time and thats with regular use and maintenance. Got a briggs vtwin apart right now.. Plastic starter bendix with no teeth. Cmon guys. Plastic starter gear? Its a lawn mower not a lego toy.

Tacotodd · July 30, 2021, 02:24:15 AM

Yeah, I've wondered the same thing. At the very least they should be made from brass. Maybe there is a market for such.?

Hah, yeah small flock of domestic geese, they will chew on everything and steal any loose bits. If it isn't loose give it time they will figure it out! A big red rubber primer bulb just begs to get popped off and run around with.

Arctiva · August 08, 2021, 08:36:29 PM

Just got the last big silver maple tree that fell 2 years ago cut and split and here comes more. Sitting having morning coffe dead calm heard a snap and the house shake look outside Literally just missed the old beater snowmobile.

Mooseherder · August 10, 2021, 08:52:28 AM

Some progress.

jimbarry · August 10, 2021, 05:35:34 PM

Hitting the workout routine again today. Trying to do average a cord a day.

Dropped 3 cords off today at a customer's place.

Hydraulic scissor lift.

HemlockKing · August 22, 2021, 06:45:08 AM

I'm still looking for a dump truck for firewood, although rather 1'ton so I can get it further into my woods. That's a nice rig, didn't realize you were in NS Jim, cheers from another scotian.

rjwoelk · August 22, 2021, 12:03:23 PM

Jim what make of picker do you have mounted on the truck?

Wood Shed · September 02, 2021, 06:43:19 PM

Got back at it today after leaving the saws alone since April. Temps were right at 70 degrees with low humidity, only worked a few hours but it's a start.

GRANITEstateMP · September 06, 2021, 10:27:00 AM

forgot the before pick, but this is the after. Did 3 cord yesterday, now it's time to reload the brow.

Palms 3.4. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I am not set up to get notifications on this thread.

jimbarry · September 18, 2021, 02:56:27 PM

Cut, cracked and crated 256 cu ft today. Good day for it, warm but a strong breeze from the south, mostly overcast with the occasional sprinkle of rain.
