Winch Firewood Processor

I guess that it will be a while before I plant any. With my luck a squirrel would come along and eat the seed.

I would like to see something done with beech, it isn't a highly valuable tree anyways but considering how much space it takes up in the forest it's unfortunate that it's all diseased.

Here they cut them all down. In my forest I leave whichever Am. Beech isnt infected just in case I may have some resistant strain, but I dont have high expectations Q).
Anywayw are off topic and the forum police may interfere! hahaha.

I am currently try to decide on a hydraulic tank for my processor. I do not want to give $300 for a 30gal tank. My options are a old water heater tank that I have gutted, a 55gallon drum and cut 6 plates off 14ga on the plasma and weld them. The whole day I am changing my mind on that. The 3rd option is loosing ground though

You might also be able to find a tank from a dead piece of equipment.

We also try to cut it all, except for the smooth barked trees. The problem is that it sprouts from the roots so still spreads.
I'm having a block cut this fall which has an exceptionally high population of uninfected beech, I hope to snag a few seeds to start, then plant later.

Do you have any truck junk yards around? A gas tank that mounts to the frame of a truck would make for a good hydraulic tank. They are usually thick steel. If you can pick one up cheap that's not rusty I think it would fit the bill nicely.
