I use both but over time lean more toward using conventional, I see a lot of people say you waste wood as you take a notch from what will be the Butt of the log, I disagree on it wasting wood, a conventional notch allows to get lower on the stump making up for the face notch loss.
Humboldt definitely leaves it look neater IMO thoughRead More

I changed the fuel filter on my Kubota l3240
It's a cartridge type
The tractor started right up and runs good but when you step on the hydro pedal it stalls right out.
It feels like a fuel issue
What should I be looking for ?
Thanks in advance

Been about a year since I posted on here. A lot has happened ----- tore a tenon off the bone on my right arm last year --- had surgery and lost some mobility in it -- not much just 5% but enough to know I'm not the same. Still having to rehab the arm some.

Wife - who runs the mill more than me -- had surgery and has about 3 more months to go on recovery ---- I'm seeing that as much as I feel young -- our bodies say different. Read More
