    Wife

    Lost my wife one year ago on June 1, totally unexpected! You will have some rather bad months but hang in there. Life does slowly get a bit better. Even now it is not fun but I do one day at a time and some days are OK. Grandkids and the kids make things worthwhile. Don"t give in to the dark...

    trees harvestors

    As soon as someone approaches you for logs or pulpwood you should go into condition yellow! This is very often the first step in a landowner getting a REALLY BAD deal. Once you have your alarms all set you need to get a forester. A good forester does not cost money they make you money! I...

    Life after High School (Please Advise)

    Will going to work now lock you into a job for life, one that may not be there in 20 years? While I sure do understand the desire to get to work NOW I would have a concern that you might be obsolete and have few options later in life. An Engineering degree would be a grind but it opens a lot...

    OT prayer request for fallen Deputy

    Three went because Law Enf has had previous problems him. Sometimes called a bottom feeder. If 3 officers come to my door I will invite them in for coffee.

    sorta O.T. collecting maple sap.

    I collect the sap in the afternoon and place it in 30 gallon containers. Then the next morning when the ground is frozen I go out with my Ford 861 and pick up the containers. Went to this system after I noticed the damage being done by "mudding" the sap out in the afternoon. This probably...

    loader opinion

    We have a Ford loader (trip Bucket) on our Ford 861 and I would not be without it. There is just a whole lot of things you can do with it. The loader has been on there for the 23 years I have owned it and so far no big wear problems on the front end. Course I don't put over 100 hours a year...

    dead evergreens

    Are both the long and short needle trees dying or is it just the short needled ones? From your description of the dying going from the ground up I would lean toward them being spruce. (short needles) Many spruce windbreaks which are on sites that are not normal for them will face this kind of...

    O/T Workers Comp. ins.

    You do not have to get it, but if you do not have a current WC policy you are NOT coming on my property! Landowner would have to be nuts to let a "contractor" on his place without the coverage as then the cost can slide to the landowner! An old employer did not check well enough and ended up...

    Ford 800 series tractors

    I have had our 861 with FEL for about 25 years, it has been great! We use it for making maple syrup, moving lots of snow (WI), mowing trails and making firewood for the house and for boiling sap. The gas usage is a non issue unless you are into production farming and most 861 users don't put...
