Way back many moons ago when oil prices went up and fuel oil went over fifty cents a gallon A friend went and got into heating with wood over fuel oil. One evening we were up at his place and he had the wood burner cooking and it was plum HOT in his house .He was bragging on how much he was saving by burning wood. Now he did not live on a farm and he worked in town , never owned a pick up in his life. Had no wood on his place . But he bought a wood burner then he bought a new 3/4 ton Cheve 4x4 bought two new Sthil chain saws a new log splitter and on the weekend he would drive 65 miles down to his inlaws farm and cut and haul four loads of wood back to his place . That old Cheve 4x4 got around 9-10 MPG and gas back then was about fifty cents a gallon . But he was saving money . He was and educated IDIOT that could not see that he was paying out more to heat his home then if he had just bought fuel . Then you take my one cousin her and her Husband bought one of the smaller Du Pount manson in Wilmington and the one time i was there Richard took me down to the boiler room and showed me the three 10000 gallon fuel oil tanks that were used and he told me that on a normal year that it took one and a half filling to heat that place.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
