It's still going. I have 0 regret. The one thing that everyone says is that it is tough to get stuck. It is lacking in power, but it is great for having traction. There have been lots of tiny issues. Random squeaks. Loose bolts. Broken grease fittings. I needed to completely adjust the shifter. The idle screw is frozen in place. Nothing major and it is still a very sound value, but I would say you need to be able to maintain it yourself. Good luck with your unit.

@@msears101 I appreciate you sharing as the maintenance goes I do it myself, so far I'm loving it

I like them too.

We grow about 1/2 of what we consume.

Thanks for your feedback.

You're welcome. I have some other videos planned.

The chipper was $1400 USD (price has gone way up since last year) . The tractor I bought used for $10,000 USD. The chipper is at betstco.com

agree. It is VERY good. I have run more than 4" hardwood through it.

works great. It is solid. It easily chips 4+ inches. I have chipped about 7+ cubic yards worth of mulch. (about 100 bags of mulch). I use the mulch for trails. I think they are raising the price may 1st. I would grab one now if you are considering it. Join their mailing list to get money off. Also I have made a contraption that works with the chipper. It solves the problem of wether you go to lots of little piles of brush or move every you want chipped to one big pile. My paths are narrow so I need to chip lots of small piles of brush. Come back in a week or so to check it out.

There is a lot of driveway you can't see, plus some of it was messing around - cleaning cars, shoveling, moving cars, losing my keys, helping the neighbor. It is also not as small as it seems. the Camera does really show how big it is or how deep the snow was. The snow was quite wet (heavy) also. The actual seat time was about 30 mins. The wider the driveway the longer is takes. It is 4 cars wide. Also All the snow has to go to the right - which also makes it take longer. The snow blower is faster, but not by much. I always give me self an hour to clean the driveway and the cars when we get a foot of snow. Thanks for the comment.

The key is toss them in like a spear.

where are you located. I am selling mine.

@@msears101 Just curious, why are you selling it?

@@frederickshipp8013 I am selling it because I bought a bigger gas splitter. I have 4 acres of dead white ash trees, and needed a bigger machine to process the ash trees that are bigger than 24" diameter. It is a good machine. I still use it but only split kindling, which I could easily do with just a hatchet.

Yeah, for sure. What a machine is right, and what a friend too!!

This would be 1998 time frame.

It is a good little machine.

I would love to see your foot pedal setup. I use the stand now as well. The only downside is that it is slower than a bigger splitter. I have split several cords of wood with it. For the price it cant be beat.

@@msears101 I have seen some splitters that were so fast that I didn't want to get my hand anywhere near them...My last splitter was a DR-5 ton electric and I split a couple tri-axle log truckloads and the one year I cut and split 2 years worth of wood, just hauling it with my 8-foot log trailer behind my car, that took me all summer, cut down the trees, then sliced them up in 16 inch lengths, then hauled them home and split them with my 5-ton electric DR I just got the WEN 6.5 electric splitter and the footswitch set up in my garage, but it won't be too long before it gets to work, as long as I can travel around a get some wood after the lockdown.....

I have the southernland wood splitter...i replaced the momentary switch with a maintained switch for one handed operation

You see that orange knob in the front of the splitter? You can adjust that to shorten the cycle time when you are splitting shorter logs. My Yardmax electric splitter has that feature also.

@@msears101 Kate, I was just wondering, are you taking advantage of the stop that you can adjust so the pushing block doesn't go all the way back each time. If you aren't it would help speed things up a bit if you did. You wouldn't have to wait for it to travel up to contact the wood each time. I've been heating with wood over 40yrs and I still enjoy it. I'm building a 4 way wedge to help speed up the splitting process now.

The removal of the fixator is painless. Nurse Justin was very gentle, but you can see he really had to push to get one removed, and it still did not hurt. The only thing that I felt was things shifting when they were removed. It was like a relief of pressure. It was just a slightly odd feeling. It kind of felt good and uncomfortable at the same time, but no pain. good luck

msears101 I have surgery yesterday get one on my ankle and heel bolt

This is a montage of quite of few coasters. The videos were from trips in 1999. The first one is from Carowinds going up the lift. Then it goes to a coaster at Dorney park, anaconda, then it is Roar, before it was six flags america. then it transitions to another wood coaster at kings dominion. then predator at darien lake, then a wood coaster at kings island. I think I have it right. After the roar, I am a bt uncertain. I have the original footage if you really want to know.

@@msears101 I was just wondering if some of it was from Adventure World AKA Six Flags of America. I used to go there back in the days when it was Wild World and Adventure world. Just got confused from the other parks. Nice video.

@@ducksauce3202 yes it was shot when it was Adventure world. It was inaugural year for The Roar, you can see all the new yellow pine. This video includes the coaster in its entirety - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnrcfZ-JaLqGb6c

Gotta be 1998, because Roar is present, and it opened in 1998. Another reason why it has to be 1998, is because Python, the shuttle loop is also present, and it closed in 1998.

It is a great resort, but it sort of depends on what you are looking for. It is pretty remote, so some could feel trapped. You can at the most walk 5 mins before you run into water. It is a small island. There is not a lot of things to do. We spent time snorkeling and diving. It is very good for relaxing. There is only one restaurant and the menu is pretty much the same. If you have other questions. Feel free to ask.

Nathan, thanks for the comment. I will have to dig my footage to be sure. I think that this is Thunderoad at Carowinds. If you look when it is going "backwards" at the top of the first sign, there is a sign. There was a rebel yell in Kings Dominion and Kings Island. I believe this was filmed when I went to 12 parks in 10 days - so they could have been mixed up. I have only been to carowinds once and it is possible I have misremembered. I will have to dig up my old tapes, which I am not sure I can play anymore.

msears101 this is thunder road at carowinds if you look to the right you will see waterpark rides if you look to the left you will see the parking lot which this is what you would see on the ride if it was still here

Sign at 1:38 says "Thunder Road". Thanks for the upload, this nostalgia is great!

Rebel Yell is Kings Dominion.
