With new engine regulations taking effect next month, Sally Drury looks at buying options and tests latest models.

Essentially Loeks is recommending a massive clear-cut swath around Whitehorse. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The same Loeks is tied to the very guy in the picture proposing "Austrian woodchip boilers" to burn all that clear-cut wood. So, what’s Ferby’s connection? Simply put, the report by Loeks is hype and the proposal is sickening. This is all about free money for certain interests.

Blaney, who was positioned on the ground to the side of the machine, took one step forward to push the two trees further into the grinder, and became entangled by a branch at his flank.

                Like any chainsaw, the bar saw for the Halverson requires a steady supply of oil — it features an automatic oiler — for the bar, and the saw chain must be periodically swapped out for a sharp one. There is another plus to the Halverson, though, as Aaron pointed out. If he comes to a tough spot on a log, the Halverson processor can move the log to a better spot for bucking, avoiding a crook or knot. The feature enables the operator always to make the cut in a good part of the log.

Freaking splosives! THAT is how you make quick work of cutting wood. You tube for examples and automatic inclusion on some alphabet soup agencies black lists.

Sit in on dozens of practical workshops from the leading authorities on modern homesteading, animal husbandry, gardening, real food and more!

Then set the half-round splits on a platform (old tree stump in my case) with an old tire big enough to contain the split/round, and slice off decent splits with a 6lb maul.

Gabe eliminates Abraham with a boat propeller and carries the family to brief safety at their neighbor’s house. We think he’s dead a second time when their neighbor Josh (Tim Heidecker) attacks him, but he kills that evil twin as well and limps his way back to the others. It’s not exactly a happy ending (we won’t totally spoil the film), but Gabe definitely sees the end credits, and we absolutely did not expect him to.

The ARB Show will see a new product launch from GreenMech that is set to be the next evolution of woodchippers.

Environmentally conscious consumers often ask me whether a real Christmas tree or an artificial one is the more sustainable choice.
