Sawmills and Milling / Re: OldJarheads Milling Thread...
Last post by OlJarhead - Today at 09:17:51 AMIt's been a while since I shared a video here but I thought I'd share this one so you can see the mill running great
I'm really thinking it was something so simple as oxidation on the wires. Hydraulics and electric motors all running great again and I milled up 5 logs in the time I had between burning slash and other projects so it was a great day! Now to fall some more timber and get back to milling!! #2
General Board / Re: Help with a dig pattern.
Last post by Jeff - Today at 09:07:44 AMLast fall, Furby gave me a ton of hasta plants that were to be discarded. Within that 100ft perimeter fence, I planted 196 hasta plants. Deer are supposed to love em. I'm trying to get them established before we find out.

Last post by Jeff - Today at 08:35:12 AMTwo shots taken from what is now the solar powered camera on the pond. I built a solar array yesterday including an inverter and nighttime battery backup. When I get a few extra bucks I'm ready to add a planned aerator that will keep the pond from freezing. It is also powering a wifi extender so, totally wireless.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Maintaining the state park...
Last post by Machinebuilder - Today at 08:03:05 AMLivemusic
if you have a Milwaukee 18V Hacksall they make very good pruning blades for them.
I spent time this winter clearing out about 150' of brush and trees so my sunflower patch gets more sun.
I buy a bag of seeds sold for birdseed and hand spread it over about 1/3 acre.
I can sit in my barn watch my dogs run and when the sunflowers are ready there seems to be thousands of yellow and black chickidees.

Last post by YellowHammer - Today at 07:44:30 AMYes, the issue with thin wood and wide sticker spacing is that it may "kink" while drying.
