What the heck, I'll try some too.

What USDA zone? How cold does it get?

I had a similar issue with my Accurav2 when I was first shooting it. After the first shot or two with Power belts, I couldn't get the bullet seated all the way down, and the groups were inconsistent, around that 6"-9" mark you're seeing. It was my first time shooting an inline, so I wasn't...

Follow up to the planting on 8/9. Grew well, except for the parts the deer ate! Hopefully the drilled Rye and Cosaque Oats put on some growth in the spring.

Even the MS261 will be a big step up from your 250. It's 4.1HP vs your existing 3. It will take up to a 20" bar. The 362 will go to 25" but adds the weight. Can you borrow or rent one before you buy?

I collected some acorns from the "famous" Hershey Burr at the Downingtown Friends meeting House. They all had caps on them and almost all germinated.

Where is the orchard?

Sometimes I wonder how anything eats burr acorns, with those huge caps. Squirrels can probably get at them, but I have to think deer don't want any part of the caps.

This summer I learn that the local college had a burr oak that sparked the interest of some prominent growers. They were kind enough to show me where it was, and I went and collected about 225 nuts, a 5 gallon bucket full. I kept about 45 with the goal of starting 25 in the spring, and mailed...

I haven't switched to my L home yet. Can I toggle this back and forth to determine which might get a better signal? Or do I just have to pick one and hope?

If you're looking for more power but lighter, look at the fuel injected saws. @Westwind mentions the 500i. Husqvarna is releasing the 564xp now in the USA. It may have been out in Europe previously. In the spring I picked up a MS261 for my cousin who does a lot of cutting for us. He was using a...

Agreed that fencing speeds up the process. It's crazy expensive and the NRCS programs don't fund actual rates for fencing, which is why we went CSP instead of NRCS Golden Winged Warbler program. We've done some test cuts, and the Regen has been decent. Also, it's hard to convince the old guys to...

Yes! His trees get big quickly.

We got into an NRCS/FDA CSP contract this year to do some spraying ahead of a timber cut. This particular contract pays over 5 years so you have to front some money. Looking at the workflow for the PA program, it looks like they cut you a single check after receipts are submitted. I'm hoping...
