Tomorrow, if it doesn't rain, we are switching log splitters to finish up our oak wood pile, over 10- 1/2 cord (loggers cord) before cut and split. The daughters wood pile was over 13 loggers cord, it got split hauled and stacked, so she's set for winter. After work she comes over and helps stack our wood. MAN THATS A LOT OF WOOD. We lost a lot of time on rebuilding her tractor and building the log splitter you see in the pictures.We will be looking for a elevator/conveyor for next year. My legs kind of gave out running the Bobcat,wasn't too much trouble getting in the seat,but the trouble started when getting out of it. If it wasn't for my son, I would of been eating and sleeping in the seat of the Bobcat. The garage gets cold this time of year.lol.
For those who heat with wood it sure beats the price of oil doesn't it. My old friend who passed away years ago,burnt wood,until he couldn't do it any more. We used to haul down a couple of 1 ton truck loads, split, and stacked for him. When he got his new oil furnace in, I jokingly told him, "that will make you lazy" were going to use about 50 gallon for overnight when the wood goes down, so we don't wake up to a cold house. I usually like to keep it 76 to 78 degrees all thru the day and night,darn the cold weather in winter. Now the only thing I'm looking forward to is deer hunting, as soon as the wood is done. I am able to use the handicap hunting permit again this year, I can't walk the woods anymore, due to bi lateral neuropathy, it sure crippled me up something fierce. I hope you guys get your wood done, as this is the latest I can remember doing ours, ever in over 45 years. Just keep warm and safe, I'm sorry to hear about Allan in Neb. house. Keep him in mind in prayers. Warmest regards, LOU

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
