i've started buying second hand books too more often. I only know English, but I enjoy (centuries) older books and would almost always rather work through the original version/language/format than rely on somebody's "edited for the modern reader" version.

hope your treatment goes well and successful, Stig. i like books too. what are some of the books you ordered, if you don't mind me asking?

Gary, is First Responder training for plain old civilians? Just saw you were from near Atlanta.... do you know Peter Jenkins (of Tree Climbers International) who lives around there?

cory, you split wood manually? Sean, just saw that Woodchuck Skideroon you reviewed. Looks good... as do those other Woodchuck tools/peaveys.

wow. that guy looks like he makes it look easy. must be fun (work) working in those woods all day. ==== ha, CBAed, looked it up, funny, never heard that one before, but I can totally relate. Thanks Cory, Yeah, I learned about the tire from my youtube buddy, Tim Gruchow. wouldn't want to...

Thanks Sean, yeah backing into a sea of pallets piled with wood sounds like a good method --- just need to be able to judge a full load from stack in truck. I have a pickeroon, which I use for getting leverage to pull over big rounds, etc...... haven't found it useful for handling small...

Butch, that is 4'x8'x 18" .... about 2/5 of a standard "full" cord. Yeah, I know but that seems to be what the market will bear here. I figure firewood is a "free" byproduct of tree removals.... although I removed these particular ones free... for the firewood... yeah, I know..

Sean, you mean splitting off thin "arc's" around the edges of thicker rounds?

ready to deliver... took about 1 hour to load Delivered and Stacked....$115.00 Took ~4 hours from loading truck to walking back inside when I got home. Figure approx: 12 hours to fall/fell, buck, haul back tree 4 hours to split 4 hours to deliver and stack and return (40 miles round trip)...

Cobleskill, so 4'x8'x18" (length of firewood) is a "full face cord" ? .... i.e. less than half of a true "standard" cord? ..... just trying to understand because there is a lot of fuzzy, confusing terminology it seems. .... and it seems to vary among different people. Thanks. Stig, what is a...

Kyle, what you say cannot be argued with. I guess there is some amount of foolishness in my "business" plan -- i.e. at this point it is really "technically" more of a "hobby" in reality. Best I can say now is: I enjoy it... physically, mentally, emotionally It is doing *something* (anything)...

Sean, so 22 ton is good enough for, say, up to 24" ? Correct to assume the main thing is the engine? ... i.e. the hydraulic aspect is simple and basic?

That would be good to see, Stumpshot! Physical workout IS part of the attraction. Have thought about getting a log splitter, but cannot yet justify the expense to the expected rate of return. Still sort of feeling my way through the whole tree removal/firewood and tree work business .... from...

split firewood for 2.5 hours until I was worn out. yield ~7/8 of a rick (1/2 "face" cord) ... foreground hope to sell it (when complete rick) for $100 (customer picks up himself)

thanks all for all the feedback on my posts and questions. i don't want to take your help for granted and want to do justice to digesting and replying to all the comments. I'm pretty far behind..... ha, don't need to start any newer one's until I get caught up on all outstanding ones...

:thumbup:

I thought I saw Gil Favor on an episode of season 2 of the Lone Ranger (1951?) last night.... but it turned out to be somebody else.

Are the sides (normally) removable on a dump trailer? e.g. for loading heavy stuff over the side for a given situation?

Rich, Is that a dump trailer? what type of trailer do you call that? It really looks nice, and ideal for something I might think about considering. Thanks.

I can relate, Rich. Since I am "retired", my dad thinks I have all the time in the world and I tend to be indignant and "put upon" when he doesn't seem to realize it... but it's worse for me because I certainly don't do 50-60 hours a week, although my own place requires upkeep time especially in...
