Tractors and wood! Show your pics

I thought I'd miss all that northern winter nonsense but it turns out I don't. Especially in New England.

I would never live in a place that didn't have "real" winters, including those days well below 0˚F.

On the other hand, I could do with a shorter mud season each spring, and skipping deer fly season altogether would be just fine with me.

I don't mind the weather or even plowing snow. I actually like the snow.

I CAN NOT tolerate rusty cars.

Is that Balsam Poplar/Balm-of-Gilead ? We have never seen that hear. Looks like nice wood.

I had to check the picture again! No, it's a regular trembling aspen. Balm of Gilead has different bark, and the heartwood is medium brown colored.

Thanks. That is a nice one then. My Aspen get cankers and die before the bark turns rough.

Me dragging some falldowns with my forestry winch back in September. Very nice tool indeed.

This was just a seedling by western standards, but a good sized poplar for around here. What really surprised me was how sound it is. Usually by the time they get that big they are rotten.

Nice clean looking wood.

Got tired of untangling saw chains, broke down and bought a chain locker.. Takes up to 60" chains by doubling them over the end.

I just leave my chains in the box they came in, or in a Ziplock freezer bag (which is a bit heavier duty than their regular bags). A friend uses short lengths of old fire hose to store and carry his in.
