I use to cut up pallets for the evaporator and I don't think there is an easy way. Just be careful however you do it Farmboy.
I am leaving in the morning to go on the annual opening day bowhunting trip. I know you all are gonna miss me until Tuesday:rolleyes: Man this is a great time of year. Hope all have fun on the NY mapletour, at the auction, fishing, hunting, cutting wood, anything maple related.
Is anyone going to tap this fall? I don't plan to myself, the idea intrigues me though.
Jim I am planning on a fall tap here. I have a few hurdles to get over first. The trees I plan on tapping are in a flooded area in the spring along the river. The river has a state easement on it where 75 percent of the trees are. I am currently still waiting for the green light from the state forester. Talked with him several times and Im waiting for the paper work in the mail. Getting a little to close for comfort. When I get back from hunting I am gonna look into another section of my woods that have never been tapped and get a tap count and start cutting in a tractor path. Time is gonna be a killer.
Thanks 3rdgen. Keep me posted on your fall tap. Good luck on that hunting trip!
Thanks Jim. Im out of here talk to you guys next week.

Today I cut up some pallets I ended up using a sazal with a short wood blade. It worked great. Now I need to get another load. That won't be till Sunday caz I'm baling hay tommorow.
Parker, if you can process that fast...you want to make a trip over here? You'd be done in day.
I've been working on my 15 chord for a few months now and not quite done. Doing something different next year so I'm not burning so much. The first 6-9 chord wasn't so bad, now it's getting old. Either that or find a better way to process it.
Today I stacked up a bunch of cut up pallets. Man are they harder to stack than reaguler wood but easier for me to procces now that I figured out a good way to cut them up. I will probaby go get another load of them tonight
Found a whole barn full of maple equipment today that has sat for a while. There are big SS half tanks and all kind of neat crap in there. Now to figure out how to make use of it if I can make a good enough deal with this fellow.
I put up 15 real cords of wood this year also and have a couple more I want to get in if my helper gets over here onryness. if not it can sit till spring.
We had out first froast last night and she who want's to be obeyed commented that somebody could start to sugar with this kind of weather.
