@mr.mckenney2549 Күн бұрын
@@teresadecker6817 that is very interesting. I’ve never seen one with a gas motor. I can only imagine the extra fuel cost throughout the day with the gas compared to diesel though. But I guess if you paired anything with that nice Clark transmission it would still be a goodpulling machine. I learned something new today about the motors thank you very much!

That old Clark is a beast! I grew up working in a warehouse business my grandpa started. Had an old Clark forklift. That thing was built super heavy duty. The engine and transmission took a beating over the years and just kept on going.

that has a muffler and a spark arrester box. this is a 2 stroke diesel motor, they were just loud. the faster you can get air in and out the more horse power they make. Smaller motor less fuel consumption but more noise.

Shouldn’t be bringing your filtered syrup over about 185-190* before bottling. More (new) niter will form as it cools off in your jars/bottles. Also, your vac filter really slows down because your top pre filter layer is plugged. You should devise a method of pulling out your first and maybe more subsequent layers of pre filters during the pouring process so you don’t plug up. Great to see the kids involved, my youngster really enjoys the sap season!

Genius stump vise ! Pickaroon , peavy, and pulphook indispensible. Measuring firewood, just a marked line on your saw. I don't want any metal sticking out while cutting. Try PFERD's CS-X 2in1 sharpener. NOW ! get you some PPE. The femoral artery cut will bleed you out in minutes. Helmet SYSTEM, if only for those %$#@# branches coming down. And, since we usually cut solo, if you're not a vet, get some basic emergency training ( sometimes called Wilderness Medicine). May save your ass. JMNSHO

Ring chains on the front gives you greater traction. Those Clark winches have a 60k pulling power. I ran this tire chain set up year round. Even backing up your steering will be spot on, no sliding or backing up against a tree to winch. That hitch you pulled out through the frozen mud area of your trail….should be able to walk on out.
