    20 inch chainsaw recommendation

    Get a 60 or 70 cc professional model. Doesn’t really matter what brand of the big 3. I like the Huskies the best but have an Echo. All are pretty good. Pro model will be built better and lighter.

    F Series vs. ZD

    Personally, I would get a Grasshopper 700 or 900 series (they come with Kubota diesel), and are both front mount machines. Lots of front mounted accessories for these also. Here is a YouTube video on a 900D (which is probably more machine than you need, I’d start with looking at a 700D).

    Wallenstein WX950

    No way would I buy that when you could get a Wolf Ridge 22rs or 28 pro for about the same cost. How much are you being quoted on the Wallenstein?

    BCS branded wood splitter?

    Take a look at a Splitfire. The Wallenstein is a copy off the Splitfire. Splitfire is another Canadian made splitter and they have been doing it well for 40 years. Many Splitfire models to choose from but the 2265 is a great all around splitter and one of their lower cost splitters.

    A really good flashlight

    I have a couple Olight R50 seeker flashlights that are just awesome. Have some smaller models as well, one being copper that I carry in my pocket. The Seeker, I believe has been upgraded since I bought mine, but these have held up very well. Use them every night to take the dogs out several...

    Stihl vs Husqvarna

    This post is right on. I’ve heard the 362 is going bye bye with the release of the newest version 400. I’d get the 562 MK II based on price, and just a overall like for the brand.

    Can anyone compare the quality of Chippewa boots to Red Wing?

    This has become my favorite as I get older and belly a little bigger.

    What did you buy this week?

    I had been looking at log splitters for awhile now. Really wanted to get a Wolfe Ridge, but then senses kicked in and I realized my use here in Florida is just not that great, so decided to get a Countyline 25t from Tractor Supply. Well the Countyline went on sale at Tractor Supply on BF sale...

    3pt Wood Chipper Recommendation

    I have been looking at the Splitfire myself. I know some people don’t like the vertical infeed system and lack of hydraulics, but from what I see it doesn’t need a hydraulic feed. It is rated for 4”, but has a very large infeed opening so it can handle larger material or crooked wood. It also...

    Non toxic recliner?

    Stressless by Ekorness makes really nice recliners. Expensive but worth it.

    3 point Chippers, WC-68 vs WM-8H Actual experience

    Thanks for the review. I was under the impression that Woodmaxx had good customer service. Didn’t realize they had sold. Maybe that is the issue.

    Need a recommendation: log splitters

    Sorry, I missed the post about the Champion 27. Sounds like it is working out well for you! m7040, that Wolfe Ridge sure is pretty. Thanks for sharing.

    Need a recommendation: log splitters

    So, Beowulf, did you ever decide on a new log splitter? The new log splitter bug has hit me with a vengeance. Really liking the looks of Wolfe Ridge splitters. Maybe a 28 pro model. Eastonmade Ultra looks really nice as well. Both are overkill for my needs, but I believe I want a quality...

    Grapple Advice

    Mine came in quite handy the last week with storm cleanup from Hurricane Milton and Helene (even a little from Debby). 1510987,1510988,1510991,1510992 That is 9 trees plus multiple branches from other trees. 5 were 20 to 24 inches, the rest 14-16, maybe a little smaller for the smallest...
