Nice pictures, and I would say whatever you paid for the tractor, you are getting your money's worth..  |

DM,
What is the density of Aspen? I have never burned it before, is it comparable to say Beech, Maple, Oak, Ash, Hickory? Or is it a soft hardwood, like Birch or Poplar.

Oh I hear ya on the free, I burned a lot of Poplar and White Birch over the years, didn't like to see it in loads I bought later on, but if it was free, it was burned. Use to strip bark off of the white birch and keep it in a covered box on the hearth, it will ignite from a match, and burn very hot, usually eliminated the need for kindling.

I've used loads of popple for finish work. Some had purplish grained heartwood that most folks painted.
I burn it here in Maine, from my woodlot. Mostly all I burn in the late spring and early fall. Wintertime I just mix it in.
I LOVE that tractor. I know im 44 and I weigh 270, but would you adopt me?

That way you can get it for FREE!  DM  Good one DM! We've got our 4 dumptruck loads all ready to go - except now it's 65 degrees in the mornings! At this rate it might last a few years! |
