Thinking About Going Over To The Darkside

freakingstang, that can't be your shop, is it? Wow! At 66, the years of hard work and crashes have taken their toll. I too have changed my way of wood cutting, hydraulics, sharp powerful saws,hydraulics,pace myself and hydraulics. I miss my boys helping with wood. But, I really enjoy the smell of fresh sawdust in the morning. I love splitting, not stacking tho, but o-well.Dirty, yes. But the heat, you cannot beat. The sacks of pellets would kill by back. But in another 10 years, we will see. Tim

But isn't all that outdoor labor what's kept you looking so young and debonair all these years?

Looks good, FS. Nice job, it's crazy to think you got a stove that's relatively brand new (albeit neglected by the previous owner) for 300 bucks and with a little work, she's like new again.....

I feel like I've been saying this in every post (which is funny because I'm not yet a believer) but why not buy wood bricks? Stores in a small space and you could sell off most of the stuff you want to but w/o the expense of a new stove and install. Won't you have to run a new liner?

I'm still having a little trouble getting used to buying a manufactured product to burn but if your willing to go pellets why not. Can still burn wood when you want to.

The thought of nearly automatic pellet central heat system with bulk delivery is very appealing to me at this point in my life,

Thanks my shop at work... i'm still getting moved into mine, don't mind the mess... the whole reason I bought the house. I liked the garage and the pup liked the house, even if it had oil heat.... yes I bought a shop and got a nice shortsale house with it.

Looks like somebody has a Mustang AND chainsaw addiction....

yeah I had MAD (mustang aquistition disease) long before I had cad... one of those cars is a buddy's and one is a customers, although its always full of my junk...

I was like that with old Cougars (no, not hot-looking, mid-40's and up desperate bar-hopping single mothers), and old Willys Wagons. I had a HOARD of parts vehicles, rollers, doors, bodies, motors, etc.....I still have TONS of hard-to-find fenders, heaters, grilles, hoods, emblems etc. from the early Willys wagons and trucks ('46 to '49). I had two wagons at one time, I was gonna tub the one, make a rat rod or weekend drag car out of it, but then the little ones came along.....

Nice shop, my shop isn't quite that big but it's every bit that messy!

Nope, not a TW-2HD, just the straight up TW-2. I am thinking $2750 is a reasonable price and should be a good deal for someone in the market. Still you should get 95% of what you paid for it.

no way, not in this economy.. why would anyone pay 95% of it when they can buy one new with warrenty? sorry not trying be mean or rude, but it is still a used piece of equipment.

It's worth 2/3 or 3/4 what it cost new today. Start @ 80% & TAKE NO LESS then 2/3.

I disagree. TImberwolf splitters hold ther value, especially if it has been gently used. The rare Timberwolf units that you do see (in CT) for sale are well used and still getting good money. Start high, you can always drop the price if you aren't seeing any action. Tough to go higher, easy to drop the price.

Lisbon here.

I might, and I mean might, be in the market for the TW this summer.

I will keep that in mind if it hasn't sold by then.

Thanks.

Mike where are you getting your log loads? I'm in Uncasville.

Chad,

I purchase through Hull Forest Products out of Pomfret I believe. Good loads of all hardwoods, definitely recommend them.
