I agree with Mark. If you don't have some type of wood stove, or wood burner. I'd sure as heck put one in. The way Fuel Prices are going, I'd burn as much wood as I can. I heat my house with wood. I don't burn any Furnace Oil at all. Personally, I'd forget both the Dozer, and the Skid steer, and buy a decent Chain Saw. I'd cut all the wood you can, into 12" or 16" lengths. The smallest I'd cut the branches, would be 2" in diameter. If the big blocks are 10" and above, Split them in half. Pile the wood on top of skids, or planks in rows so the wood will dry quicker, and by mid October, put in somewhere dry. By far wood is the cheapest wood to heat with. You can get good used chainsaws quit reasonable, on eBay. Or you can take the money, that you plan to use to rent the doz er, or skid steer. a Husqvarna, as far as I know is the top saw right now. Stihl is next in line. Get something with at least 16" bar length, and capability of at least a 24" bar, that way you don't buy too small, and wish you bought bigger later. Up in your Google box, enter Arboristsite.com. when you get there, register your self, like you did for this website, go to chainsaws, forum, and ask for suggestions, and recommendations for chainsaws. It wood be a real shame if you shoved all that into a pile, and Just Burn it. Man this winter is going to be a lot like last year. Signs are already showing, of an early winter. If you don't cut it as fire wood, I guarantee it during the winter months, you will be KICKING YOUR SELF IN THE PANTS!!! Personally this is what I'd sure in the world would do. Bruce.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
