- 1993 NH 2120 (the best), 1974 MF 135 (sold, but solid), 1947 Farmall A (bought, sold, bought back, sold again), 1956 MH50 lbt (sold, in 1980, darn it)
Around here you can burn late winter into the spring, but need a permit so the FD knows who's burning and where, and so the tower guys know when they see smokes it's a permitted burn. AND you can only burn between 10 and 4, which is hard to stick to in a snowy winter. Really they'd rather you didn't burn brush at all. I've just stopped burning, and pile branches and such in my woodlot. With a land-clearing project I'd burn, probably.
It's all volunteer FD here and they'd rather not (and don't) inspect your pile before you burn, only show up if there's a complaint. Most complaints are for smoke, on days when the smoke lays on the ground and doesn't go far up. All in all, easier and quicker to move the brush on the log trailer and dump it over a bank in the woodlot. Pre-grapple, I burned more often.
