I slather on a whole bunch of Huberd's Shoe Grease (bought from the saw shop) until it doesn't soak in anymore, then I put on a thick coat of mink oil. After doing that I can trudge through mud/water for a good hour before water'll start to penetrate.

i do this too. i havent tried to add mink oil after though. My process is to turn the heat on the oven all the way down put a cookie sheet upside down in the oven with my boots on it and turn it on after about 5 or 10 minutes i take one out and grease the whole boot then back in it goes while i do the other one. it speeds up the process of waiting for the leather to soak up the grease and last a long time as the warm leather has all of the poors open..

I'll leave mine under the woodstove to achieve the same effect in the winter.

First day spent at my new firewood yard, each log pile is a different species of Australian hardwood.
Took a 556at, 572xp and a 394xp and made a start on the yellowbox pile.

A winch!

 

[chiselbit]

That thing is huge. What will you do with it?

 

[Nate.]

The plan is to weld it to a quick attach plate and plumb it into the aux hydraulics on a Cat 289c skid steer. It’s a cable puller winch as best I can tell & it’s got a ton of cable on it. Hoping it’ll work well for dragging trees up from steep areas the skid steer wont go.

 

[chiselbit]

Cool. You might have to chain the skidsteer to a tree? That thing looks like it will pull!

 

[Nate.]

Haha, we’ll see! It’s definitely big. I’m guessing somewhere around 1500-2k lbs

 

[pbillyi69]

is the cable on it still good?

 

[justoldsaws]

Back on tbe logpile this morning, blocking up Redgum with a 572xp.
Really like the performance and fuel efficiency of the 572.
Almost the same amound cut on the backside of the pile.

Bar length?

That remains to be seen. It’s definitely got a layer of surface rust but I don’t see any fraying or broken strands on it. I’m gonna have to unspool it to get a better look though.
