Wait, what’s wrong with using a sling to suspend a stump? Do I just not even know how unsafe I am?

Grabbed the rest of the firewood I cut as a favor to a neighbor friend.

I agree with the others. I struggled quite a bit a number of times. One of those things you get a feel for by doing.

Swapped the blade for the hoe. We’ll probably get a huge snowstorm now!

Honest answer is I haven’t been on my property long enough (2016) or sugaring long enough (2017) to say with confidence if things have changed. I agree with @NCL4701 — I don’t especially want to wade in to climate change territory here… suffice it to say I get the sense I have fairly different...

Got the evaporator out. I’ll boil maple sap Saturday. One day I’ll have a sugar shack, but for now I’ll be in the driveway again.

Oh yeah, I def wouldn’t use this cheap Vevor carport for that. I have another one that was a hand-me-down which is very rugged and I would trust with a lot of snow. I don’t know the brand though. Also, judging by the weight of the steel pipes, my guess is it wouldn’t be very economical...

It’s a Vevor brand I think, I picked it up from Wayfair for $160 (total) in 2023. After the initial trouble (see below), I improved the installation by spiking the wood pieces down and it has been trouble free since then. I also bought a cheap diy grommet kit from harbor freight and doubled the...

This sold ages ago, I forgot to mark it as such!

Thanks. I have a secret weapon — my brother-in-law has been in the mushroom and foraged foods business for years. He’s coming to help.

Gathered some wood to inoculate and grow some mushrooms. Never done it before, I’m excited.

Emptied my buckets for the first time this season. Hopefully I have enough to boil come this weekend.

Brought some firewood in to the house.

I help neighbors with my machine on occasion. Sure they could sue me if something goes terribly wrong. Thus is life. I guess it’s smart to limit personal liability, but I also think it’s possible to go overboard.

Nice looking spot! Easy to spend someone else’s money, but I find the bucket really annoying to plow with. I use a snow pusher, which ain’t too pricey. Also a back blade. Both can be found used fairly easily.

I plow in medium, using a snow pusher or back blade on my L4701.

I traded my B2301 for an L4701 a couple years ago. Boy am I happy. As other said, I guess keeping it changing the implements kind of depends. I kept my forks, but got a wider snowpusher and back blade. Good luck with your decision!

Maybe you can rent a BX from Home Depot to do a test run before purchasing one?

SOLD!

Big ol’ three point hitch mounted PTO powered buzz saw. Great for slicing up good sized limbs for firewood – it’s faster and nicer on the back than a chainsaw. Check out this video of it in action: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12eJttP8zCAe--wc7SyylhPQMFnntE5l0/view?usp=share_link Works...
