Joe and I make fire wood, one of my good buddy’s wanted a 12 for section for lumber... worked out for all of us

 

12 foot section *

 

Should make some coffee table cuts. Just at a lumber store yesterday, and they were selling walnut slabs about that size for 435 Cdn.

 

Hard to do with the saws we have I’m sure... it’ll be put to good use though. We mostly give the wood away to people who don’t have much to heat there homes with. So we keep it simple. I ask my buddy’s if they need any or have any use for it before we have at it. Some say yes some say have it ;-)

 

Think I’ll try and get my buddies pump tomorrow and load the tires.

 

Happy thanksgiving! Sounds as if you may have some work to do!

 

Almost done.

 

Was at brother joes spitting wood ... 4 hours! I’m beat

 

Like the deluxe seat on your 140, mine has the standard metal pan seat that someone along the way welded the springs solid -- hard on the butt...

 

We have two 140’s, both have the deluxe seat

I can’t imagine a hard seat, whew.

 

It is currently just a project/toy so not really a problem, I don't use it for anything but driving around the dooryard really. Sometimes I start it up just to listen to it idle, it has such a calm, relaxing sound -- so removed from the modern world.

 

So here's my solution for plowing snow on the gravel and RAP.

Definitely doesnt tear up the gravel running dry. In fact, it did a good job of smoothing it out
Now we'll just have to see how it does with the snow. Guessing it'll be fine. Don't have to get it clean, just low enough to drive on.

 

More tree work this morning... all went well! Always a good time

 

Had weighed both trucks and trailers. Joes combo was 10400 and mine was 8040. Trailers were both 2100 lbs

 

Went thru a logging pile and raked out the dirt and did a little grade
Before
After

 

Yanked this old Polaris Indy 400 out of the weeds. I haven’t touched it in the five years since we had the house built. The LJ500 pulled it no problem. When the guy showed up to buy it, I lifted the track up a few inches and shoved it right up his trailer ramp. $100, not bad for about 10 minutes of “work.”

Im trying to clean up the junk I’ve accumulated. Doing pretty well now, I think now I can probably rearrange things and end up with way more space where I park the equipment.



Once I’m done with that, to the right in the above photo is where I put all the decent wood when we cleaned up the property. It’s been sitting a while... if nobody wants it locally, I’ll split some up for the fire pit, the rest will get dumped out back to rot away. Then I can clean up that area too.

 

It's not junk, we refer to it as merchandise

 

Some of it I consider "merchandise." The stuff I'll never touch again can be removed. I've got all sorts of things that need to be gone through, cleaned up, organized. I really need to get my hands on a shipping container, too. I've got enough tin roofing material to put a hell of an awning on one side, that way I can park all the equipment out of the rain but still have easy access to it.

Also need to clean some stuff out of my basement. I'm planning to allow the mini skid steer to live in there for the winter, parked on a slipsheet. That way I can finally finish up the work it needs and not worry about the damn tarp ripping off in the middle of winter.

 

HER stuff is junk, mine is rusty collectables.

 

I need to do this, too. I was looking to buy 55gal drums of washer fluid, but honestly, I think buying it by the case like you did may be more cost effective. Everyone wants to charge freight shipping for a drum.

A'int that the truth!
