They are very thick, and on most trees all the branches are dead 3/4 of the way up. The stand of cedar is 80-100 years old. Discussing...

Hi All,

I recently acquired an old Farmi JL 306 winch. It seems to work well, and I plan to do some preventative maintenance to address any potential issues. Does anyone have a PDF manual or a parts diagram they could share?

I'm looking for a cheap, small wide sawmill that can slab out large diameter firewood rounds of hardwood chunks that are easy to find from tree guys and homeowners around most cities.
