That's what they don't tell ya when you start cutting wood. People seem to think it's all about chainsaws and axes, but really, haulin the logs out of the wood is the hardest part of the job imho. Not everybody has money for an atv or tractor. This is a great tool, thanks!

Very interesting. I have some land, and trees fall. I cut them up and burn them. But you have to move the pieces to stack it before burning. I have always lifted pieces into truck or pulled them with the truck. I was thinking about a dolly, but this log arch is much more versatile. I'm getting near 70, and I do not want my back messed up. Thanks for this tip. Where did your wife get the log arch that you used?

Dillons Woodworks, What type of oil are you running ? Maybe some 5W-20 would help ?
@practicallyIndependent6 жыл бұрын
august That's a good idea. I will try changing the oil and maybe clean the carb. Then I'll get some Heet and non-ethonol fuel. These sub-zero temps are brutal on machinery. Thanks for the feedback. I'll let you know how it goes.
@augustreil6 жыл бұрын
I know those temps will turn older, thicker, used oil into sludge. I know with all my smaller pull type engines: log splitter, snow blower, that when it starts getting real cold, I will change the oil to the 5W-20 and because it's thinner AND fresh, pulling it over is much easier. I think synthetic might help even more ? Hope it works for ya and have Happy New Year !!!!!
