    How much does the Sun influence your heating needs?

    Skeets - I thought same thing. A "cord" is really about 3 "face-cord" of firewood. In certain areas, people call a "cord" what is really a face-cord - that's the way 'round here in New York. Hardwood firewood is done in face-cords, but softwood is usually full-cord only. Areas with a lot...

    How cold & white is it where you at present.

    We are at 0F - high was only 2 or 3. Low of -5 to -10 forecasted tonight. WC at -35F. We had ~1 foot late last week. An hour north is getting pounded by lake effect - Weather Channel just said up to 3-4 feet near Watertown, NY (they can have it)

    Front Chains on BX

    No clue where Murph gets his chains, but he has it right. He has good 2-link chains that look heavy - only way to go. My BX2360 may look very similar shortly (minus the cab), when I add the front chains. I get my chains from my locally-owned hardware store. Price for fronts - 18x8.5-10 is...

    Death blow of an era

    They did the same here for an old indoor theater. Something like $50k for 2 projectors. They were successful, and the theater is open. We have a drive-in ~30 miles from here. Makes me wonder if they will survive.

    New BX2370 ROPS Issue

    I bought a new, leftover, BX2360 this year only because of the ROPS vs. the BX2370. Much shorter/narrower on the '60. The BX25 has had that taller ROPS for quite a while. I knew I'd tear something up with the '70 series ROPS, but it does have a nicer seat, and some better controls. For a few...

    Tire Chains on BX

    Look around on here - I think there is an old thread on front chains. I think fronts are 18-8.5-10 or so - shouldn't be hard to find. I'll be looking for that thread, too. Mine front-end's been skating around on slopes. Chains might help.

    Tire Chains on BX

    I did not use spacers. When tight, all is good, so far. I've done the driveway several times now without issues.

    Something I do for fun

    You bet - my mistake. I'm a Chevy guy, after all. A friend of mine was the owner of MOPAR dealership. He knows I'm not a fan of MOPAR's, but he would never forgive me for that kind of error!!

    Something I do for fun

    GTX, as in the AMC GTX? There ARE 2 fans of them! A buddy, who passed away a few years ago, was big into AMC cars. He was restoring a GTX when he passed. He had several. Skeets - you make the 2nd friend into GTX's (if I got the right car). Another bud was at Hershey on October, and ALMOST...

    Something I do for fun

    Like Old Cars? We all have interests beyond orange tractors. One of mine is old cars. I'm from the Muscle Car era, after all.:D While I don't have an old car right now (Harley in the garage, and 2 kids at Cornell University), I've been a part of this non-profit corporation for many years. I...

    Rob - Looks great!! Folks on this side of the pond often apply that kind of talent on say.....'67-69 Chevy Camaro. I prefer red over black w/black striping by the way...RS/SS a big plus. Seriously, looks great thus far. Look forward to your progress!

    BX Front mount Snowblower?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I did this, for the umpteenth time. That's my backyard, so my dog has a place to go potty.:p Lights are workin' good. :D BX2750D has yet to blow a shear bolt. That's why I have spares, then you won't need 'em. :cool: Skeets - The first couple times I used them, thought the location of the...

    fuel additives yes or no ?

    Yeah - 056 was a little much. My pulp saw was broke, and that was the only option. For a lot of years I said the only wood I cut was lilac bushes, but the 046 would cut 'em REALLY fast! Amazing the difference between the 056, and the new generation 046 (now 460). Only Husky I ever ran was a...
