Tractors and wood! Show your pics

The Cherry I've cut up all had a reddish color. Maybe Walnut? Or a type of Oak.

One of the earlier pictures I posted that I re attached below has some walnut in the left half but everything since then is oak mostly red.

Now they do. Your sediment bowl looks similar to mine except that mine has a shut off; I don't know if you could swap yours out for a newer one or not.

Well that's why the manual say change fuel filter when below half tank, the hose on bottom of tank looks like it runs into a check valve thing on the filter housing, then the hose on top of housing looks like it goes into half way up the tank, and there's where the fuel was pouring out of. The 3rd hose I'm not sure where that goes, fuel didn't come out of it. Next time, 200 hr from now I'll try to get a shut off valve or make sure the tractor fuel dont get filled up before changing filter.

My 1 ton dump is bar none the handiest vehicle I致e ever had. I値l probably never drive a regular bed pickup again.

Yes seeing yours definitely triggered me. With one I could also haul my tractor up to where I'm cutting and working, which would beat the heck out of loading by hand like I'm doing now.

Well you don't have to rack the lever back and forth to load, just to shoot.. at least with my Marlin.. just slide them in the port on the side till its full.

I have a Marlin 30-30, great deer gun, but after the hunt and before I get in the Jeep, it's jack and rack cause I think it's against the law to have a loaded gun in a vehicle, I think.

Well wasn't sure where to put this as there is no woodworking section here that I can find. Been milling up a bunch of hickory and oak for a new set of kitchen cabinets. I'll be building them case construction style so I'll have to cut a bunch of plywood, and those sheets get heavier every year trying to throw them up on my table saw, so... I found a used Milwaukee Panel saw on craigslist at a great price so I pulled the trigger.. Brought it home cleaned it up and adjusted it and it seems to work fine on a couple test pieces anyway, might still need some more fine tuning. Man this thing will help this old guy with cutting up full sheets of plywood! Great addition to my shop me thinks!! Now I just have to find room to put it!!

I'd like to have something like that, that will straighten out a 8'-20' board, everytime I let broads dry they get crooked. Maybe a kiln would solve the crooked board problem, stack them then clamp the broad down with 100 ton clamps or a giant press.

That’s definitely easier. But then if you had a bigger dump truck you could haul the load of wood and the tractor. My Topkick might get horrible fuel mileage but it’s still better than 3 trips on the 1 ton.

A pair of needle nosed vise grips does a perfect job of pinching the hose and shutting the fuel flow off...

Just adjust them so they stop the flow, but don't damage the fuel line.

I was going to try that but if I damage the line then I have a bigger problem that will require fuel line hunting and or a trip to the tractor store and more speaking in tongues. I usually have better luck un-clamping a line then sticking a bolt in the end, if the end gets damage then I can cut a inch off for a new section, theoretically of coarse............

Henry makes great lever guns, everyone who shoots mine, really likes them!

SR

What do we have there, is the top rifle octagon? love octagon barrels, 44 mag, 45 colt, or 45-70 ?

I agree with the vice grips, but I like to sandwich the hose between two pieces of wood inside the vice grips, easier on the hoses.

Now I didn't think of that..........:thumbsup:

I have been here a while and this is the heaviest wood I have ever processed. Dark color, smells kind of weird and gets into your sinuses. The heviest rounds at the trunk I could not even think about lifting and had to move them with a grapple.

By the looks of the wood it is cut up non to soon. Looks like maple of some sort.
