My son has decided to start his own firewood business. He has already started for the future. He is 14 so I handle all felling. He and I both buck. I do have equipment to handle logs so that makes it easier. In straight red oak or similar, he can out split me! I don’t have it like I used to...

Do you mean BCS? I have worked in a few TB Horses over the years. We had one for years and dad let it go when we moved and he was over gardening. A retired coworker of mine has two in GREAT shape, but he recently passed away. His wife is still wanting to garden so I’m going to go get one and go...

Best investment for new ground! I have a smaller 732 that will run the rotary plow. Almost wish I went with a larger Grillo brand, but I also have full size tractors if I need them. Prices have gotten ridiculous, but what hasn’t?!? My son has been making a few dollars plowing gardens in the...

Depends on experience. I would opt for a good size hoe and stack/burn. I would also like a dozer as well for the smaller stuff and to move trees. What are they? What kinda root system? Do you have experience clearing?

THIS! I have a bent grapple from employees using it the wrong way, lol.

Nice one! Going good. The kids are keeping us busy with sports and work is wide open. I’m down a guy off with a new baby and we rented a Cat 299 with mulcher head for a month. Trying our best to get our 40 hours a week put on it. It was fun for the first day; but now we swap out at lunch...

I wouldn’t give half that for it, but I’ve got a 661 and 500. How you been brother?

I agree on the too high part! I was thinking the 660 had flippy caps until I did some more research. Most of my Stihls have them except “0xx” series saws.

A buddy found this 660 on FB marketplace. Looks suspicious to me. I messaged the guy asking for pics of the serial and some other things. He hasn’t responded back yet, lol.

Well, after talking to our DOT contacts and seen what they run, we can get some on contract. I believe they are Pewag (sp?) brand made in USA. He is supposed to send me the contract list tomorrow. Pretty much he recommended at 4 link due to lower cost, square link 7mm with cams. That’s what...

Thanks for the help. I think we settled on some. Now to get tire sizes for the ones that need them.

Government agency vehicle so we can’t do that. We are also limited to what tires are available.

Those are what I’ve ran for a while on my personal truck. I know a few shops that have the stud gun but we don’t have that much of a need here to justify getting extra wheels and tires.

Thanks for all the info. I figured we had enough people on the forum that has dealt with snow chains more than we do down there. Tires are 285/70/17 Goodyear DuraTracs. I e been looking online and like you said, it comes down ultimately to price.

They won’t pay for a separate set of wheeled and studded tires, even though that would be a solution. Like I mentioned, it would be on our WMA roads, so we maintain those.
