Loren, the Acg, I was telling my daughter about your wood processing equipment. What I am wondering is did you build everything needed to get the wood up and processed and hauled to the wood shed? My daughter has has been cutting on her 13 cord, and has it down to about 1 1/2 cord,that will have to be split and loaded on the one ton using the bobcat. We have been looking for a small elevator such as you have to load the one ton,hopefully we will find one, before the snow flies or next year. I am going to save your post to show my daughter such ingenious devices that you have for processing your wood. I am totally amazed at your process and the help that you get from your son and wife.
My son normally cuts both wood piles which keeps the family warm during the cold winter, we average between 10- 13 cord to heat the house. My daughter uses around 10, her house is extremely well insulated and she keeps it almost 80 degrees during the cold snap.
We have started with little fire at around 7:30 or 8 pm in the evening,using poplar wood saving the oak elm and maple for drastic cold spells. Again I want to compliment you on your system of making firewood, and wondering about how many years it took you to build that equipment? My compliments to you and yours, you have a wonderful family. Age and health issues keep me from such activity except my job is to operate the log splitter valve handle. My daughter is waiting to use the new one with electric start. My son built a volt meter holder so we can keep tabs on the battery being charged. Thanks again for your post,which gives us encouragement. Warmest regards, LOU & son

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
