No disrespect sir, but if you are lifting 30 inch logs that are 24 inches in diameter you are lifting more than is safe for one person, thus your expenses go up. Most wood splitter accidents are caused by fatigue and rushing, resulting in amputations. I agree, you get tired lifting the logs...

Might help explain better. Wood, burned properly has net zero carbon emissions, according to MSU. Wood is from our own woods and hauled with an electric farm cart and wagon. This is also cut with an electric, re-chargable Stihl chain saw. We have a 23 acre farm and nearly all wood harvested...

Hi, Long overdue, (june 2020)...While replacing the gear box on my brush hog I ran into a problem removing the stump jumper. It had seized with age to the shaft. Since I don't have a lot of tools for removing large things like this I had to cobble together something. Prying behind the stump...

over 20 years ago when comparing Kubota B7500 and the comparable John Deer and New Holland, the % of American built content was highest with the Kubota. I purchased with bucket and 52 inch woods tiller. Just passed 2,000 hours and I am not nice to this tractor. I use it on a 23 acre organic...
