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.

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.

Timber Framing/Log construction / Re: swap tenon and mortise pos...
Last post by iwearhats - Today at 05:50:44 PMSo it appears it has been done before based on that link from @Don P. However, it's not common (or maybe less optimal) because of the reason that @rusticretreater pointed out? However, wouldn't the problem be mostly solved with pegs like it's done with the post having the tenon?

Last post by Resonator - Today at 05:46:41 PMHad dirt get into the pedal mechanism on my MX5800 one time and it acted funny. I cleaned it and it worked great again.
Also had a bee get into my fuel one time and ended up plugging the fuel intake. Again cleaned it out and it worked fine.

Last post by thecfarm - Today at 05:38:26 PMUnless your safety switches are different then mine.
My NH won't even start. Most times won't even turn over.
Will it idle?
When I change filters on mine, I have to keep the switch on, as if I was starting it. Then I turn the bleeder screw, kinda spits and runs rough and then the air comes out and I am all set, Maybe 30 seconds.
Wife's NH fuel tank is over the filter so open up the bleeder and then it run out a steady stream!!!!

Last post by Bruno of NH - Today at 04:35:20 PMAfter more thinking
I think I have a safety switch issue
Maybe with the seat switch, pto safety or on the HST pedal
I hear a clicking when the pedal is depressed
