General Board / Having to Buy Tires.
Last post by SawyerTed - Yesterday at 09:22:23 AMMy truck needed tires. We use a nationwide retail chain because there's no telling where we might drive.
I hate to buy tires, brakes, gravel and shoes. I know the necessity each but they just get used up!
There's $1,200 gone!

Chainsaws / History of the Stihl 028
Last post by gman98 - Yesterday at 09:20:26 AMCan anyone here tell us about the history of the Stihl 028's? When they were built, what market/users were they designed for? I got a couple of them a while back and they seem to be nice bulletproof saws.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Humboldt vs. Conventional
Last post by weimedog - Yesterday at 09:17:58 AM Another discussion is about the species of a tree & fiber pull characteristics. Here they pull, out there in soft wood world they break so face cut angles can be less.
This is where I ended up after 25 years in this stuff

Forestry and Logging / Re: Humboldt vs. Conventional
Last post by weimedog - Yesterday at 09:13:16 AMThat's a good thing, a meaningful discussion of why a particular approach is used. On the flats, I use a conventional and have the hinge in a root flare if possible. Certainly as close to the edge to Get ALL of the wood I can to the landing. Can save over a ft per tree vs. Humboldt partly because to use a Humboldt I would have the bar in the dirt to cut that low. So save a foot a tree using conventional and My log buyers takes the measurement FROM the base on the veneer & trees where the face cut is out of the money wood. Adds up quick at over a buck a foot. Using the conventional on a typical 100 tree job is 100ft of timber. Also typically pine and other soft wood around here is less than 300 a thousand, so LOTS vs every bit of it is the norm AND feller bunchers as it's tough for a logger to make a living getting 1/2 of 300 a thousand on soft wood. Out west soft wood is the norm. Here Hard Wood with much higher value is the norm. Different techniques to maximize return on investment have been developed in both area's. Why it's tough to listen to the one size fits all and push for Humboldt's by some of the large high volume Pacific North West Canadian channels for anything other than pure entertainment and to see other peoples worlds.

The Outdoor Board / Re: Lickin Stick
Last post by Chuck White - Yesterday at 08:49:07 AMProbably just their way of letting others know who's living in the neighborhood.
Wonder, if you leave it there will there be a ground scrape under it in the Fall when the rut starts!

Last post by SawyerTed - Yesterday at 08:47:28 AMA tip from a friend who made his living doing antique shows...
A little eye candy out front to get them to stop. Then some big eye candy in the back of the booth to get them to come in and engage.
I helped him set up his booth a time or two because his usual help, his wife, couldn't help. I asked him why he was so particular about what went where. That was what he said along with a bunch of other stuff, he talked a lot.
