No it wouldn't. You got the wood processing bug. It would not matter if you had the money. You love the woods, and the wood processing and burning. Nothing like it. I love it too. I just wish I had more time to do it. The tractor is running great. I managed to beat it up a little already. Been getting a bunch of work done with it over the last month.I was clearing some of that woods around my property and managed to drive a small sapling right up into the underside of the tractor. Hit the negative ground on the battery and broke the soft metal for the lead. Had to do a temporary repair to it with a piece of copper wire to finish the days work. Now I have to get a new negative ground for it some day. Oh well. Wouldn't be havin any fun if I didn't scratch it up a little. I have taken out many, many stumps and rocks with it. Leveled a good bit of ground, and moved quite a few heavy things. Love it. Can you tell? Sorry.If we had money the furnace would run, how is that new tractor working?

That is a good drying strategy. I like that. We have a good number of those on the family property. Some of those are ready as soon as you cut them down. I was trying to clean up some of that slab wood I got from the Amish and stacked in the wrong place! Figured I would burn it instead of stack it again. You know how it is. You want to get an area cleaned up....... I am somewhat of a clean or neat freak. Or geek. One or the other. Have you had any problems with ticks? Noticed any?Glad that your getting good use of it, we talked about a tractor but will wait until we pay off certain things. When I saw this pine (we dry them vertical) it made me think of your comment about your pine not being ready.

What is that stuff? I should check it out. A week or two ago my brother got a tick on him. He noticed it after it was too late to take it off himself. When he picked at it a little the legs went to squirmin. He said "Talk about gross." Went to the doctor and they removed it. Gave him some antibiotics. There has been no ring, no other problems. He was on our family property out behind my house a bit.Ticks, not yet but I'm sure that will change. It's time I sprayed my work clothes with the stuff I bought from Cabela's which will last for six washings.

So if I'm understanding this right you undercut first, then down the top a certain amount (wedge) then down the sides?
If you want to pinch your bar, I think that method would do it.

Zap,bogydave, I always did it different then what they mention, v the top then undercut it. Straight up, most of what I cut is down or leaners so I'm a novice compared to most of these guys, I only started cutting firewood in the summer of 2008 so when I ask a question about cutting I'm serious.

Yeah, there were a bunch of them here for a while (mostly dog ticks, couple of deer) but then it got dry for a couple of weeks, and there aren't too many around right now. They'll be back though. I need to find some kind of repellant I can make at home; Don't like chemicals, and that stuff ain't cheap...Ticks, not yet but I'm sure that will change.
