 Mr mlappin. Don't tell me you are one of those who believe there is always ice and snow north of the border, the Canucks wear long johns and mittens all year round types are you?? Have a look at a map and see how much of the US is further north than Toronto.

 If Pinehouse doesn't have a/c that is his choice and is mine also. I work outside year-round (with mittens and long johns Nov-Mar) and rest assured we get hot, humid, stinking weather in the summer that would make you hope the next "Polar Vortex" wasn't too far away!!




Sorry 'bout that, my apologies eh!

So you're saying I can't come and visit in high summer and have a snow ball fight? geez

Summer of 2012 the central AC was turned on in May and didn't get turned off till the end of September.

Summer of 2013 it didn't get run near as much, some nights were cool enough to sleep with windows open, some of those nights were cool enough the wife got up and closed windows.

Around here anymore a few realtors have told me you can't hardly sell a house that doesn't have central AC. When upgrading the electric in this old farmhouse since we have the ductwork already it was cheaper to install a new high efficiency central air unit that run multiple window AC units.

How do you like you're Wallenstein? Which model? The 800 series looks a lot like a Wood Eze processor my uncle has except his runs off a tractor with a PTO pump, you're really making firewood when you can make a 65 hp diesel tractor blow smoke.

  Sorry, no snowball fights here usually after first week of April and those are dirty snowbanks. This year may be different though??
  2012 and '13 weather here very much the same. Drought in '12 ruined corn and soybeans, and most hay crops only had one cut.

 A/C would be nice but having to go back out in the heat/humidity after is a killer.

We goy real lucky here in 2012, got some freak rains that even the rest of the county never seen. Had more hay in 2012 than I ended up with in 2013. Rains were more timely in 2012. Row crops went real well in 2012.

I here about coming in then going back out. I hate it, but the wife has a congenital heart defect and her third open heart in the fall of 2010, can't take the heat very well, absolutely can't take the humidity.

I have a model 820, the same as the newer ones but it has the smaller 9 hp engine, the 14 hp units are the same but faster cycling. This machine works very well for my needs, it will pull a long log up to cutting position at standing height, I cut it with the saw and it rolls into the splitter, 35 ton two stage I believe. I can cut the next piece while it splits the first. The pieces are pushed along a chute which dumps them into my loader, then straight to the wood shed. They do make a pto version but then I would need to load the loader manually.

Woodeze was slightly different, it brought the log up for the next cut while splitting the already cut piece. Had a hydraulic winch for loading, drop the chute, lower the right side and drag the log in with the cable. Think I ran a 70' tulip poplar thru it once in one piece. Most of the time had to cut logs in half to get em out of the woods.
