    Endangered Bat Species

    I work for a pest control company in western ny. Not saying endangered bats but bats in general were not allowed to work on homes with them from June 15th to aug 15th due to their mating season. In a normal circumstance we may use exclusion work to seal up holes in a home/business or use one way...

    Famous tree destroyed by vandals

    We don’t have many here in Buffalo, ny. We have some but most according to my friend are London plain. Our biggest tree is a sycamore. From 1871. It has maybe a 10’ base. It’s downtown. Pretty cool to see. Always mesmerized by the big monsters.

    Current market for firewood?

    You can do say 40 an hour with a machine. Maybe up to 60 if you have two guys doing it. Key is have the wood next to you so it’s easy to load it. Many guys will do wholesale to gas stations and such. We generally just put them at friends houses. We built sheds that hold around 50-60 with just...

    Champion splitter failure

    We had a champion 27 ton model for a bit. Did ok but really needed to be level. I had a brave 34 ton and that lasted forever and sold it for more than I paid six years later. We sold them to get a Wolfe ridge. We have the 28 sho. We’re a firewood business only though and do some work with the...

    Nooooo! EAB found in Oregon!

    We do firewood. And bundles. We use Ash or try to for bundles. Been getting wood from a guy locally with a 14 acre plot. He’s currently at 750 ash trees down and they’re only halfway done. He labels every fifty trees with a marker. We’re in western New York.

    Ted Green talks about Ancient Trees

    I live in Buffalo. Been to soar valley before. Didn’t know anything about this. Came across this not too long ago https://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/5248.html The biggest tree I know of in the area is a sycamore in downtown Buffalo. I think it has about a 10’ base. I live next door to a historical...

    Husqvarna 592 xp

    The wood splitter guys are great. They never even bash each other just give the other company a different option. One of them will go onto Facebook pages even if someone is trying to make their own splitter. He gives them recommendations on flow and varying parts. Would be excellent on saws.

    Shipping a chainsaw

    It ended up costing $30 with extra insurance. $10 of it though was using their preferred box as they didn’t like mine. They packed it and shipped it. Supposed to be there Wednesday. Used fed ex. We split shipping cost.

    Shipping a chainsaw

    Facebook set the shipping rate as an auto pay and it was $3.75. I asked him about shipping and he said it was paid for. I’m like how much? That’s what he told me. I knew it wasn’t going to cover it. Would have to figure it out.
