Tractors and wood! Show your pics

I too miss OP's wood adventures and hair-raising tales; and I agree with rob sawyer and John Mc. He left of his own accord, all we can do is hope for his eventual return. I am looking forwards to that event! He will have many more wild and entertaining tails to tell, I hope! Same goes for Mr. Hunt.

I didn't mean to kick the hornets nest again, I was really just making the observation that we may have lost Hunt as well, and that it's too bad. I did enjoy their banter and gentle ribbing.
I wish them both the best.

Some of the finished product 2”x24”x24’ lowboy planks they’ll be great use of a piece of pulp.

I have always drop started my 2 older Homelite saws and my Echo saw. But my newer Stihl saw has too much compression and the saw tends to flail around too much for either the drop start or the wedge in the thigh method. The instructions call to put the saw to the ground and put your toe of your boot in the handle to hold it, my boot won't fit. But I can put the heal of the boot on 'back' side of the handle and that works well for me and the saw doesn't move around at all. Feels the safest to me.

I start the Stihl MS 271 on the ground when cold. After running and warming up it starts easily wedged in my thigh.

I did a boundary survey for a friend on the cheap and got some wood out of the deal. He has about 400 acres that is about 75% wooded. This is my friend and his splitter with my son helping, who is home for a visit. That is my truck in the background with a load of wood. The tree is a red oak which we seem to be having a lot of them dying from oak wilt.

One question DM, what is a person calling himself "Dodge Man" doing with a Ford pick-up?

I used to be a Mopar or no car guy but opened my mind up a little bit. We still own a Dodge Challenger and a Chrysler 300c.

He wanted the best pickup

I have all three, and that hasn't been MY experience!
