I sold wheat straw for $28/bale for a net wrapped 1100lb bale. that is much higher than normal but after paying $8/bale for baling, the remainder only covers the value of the nutrients you remove from the field. I would love to try some of these biomass pellets to see how they perform. There is...

oops - maybe jumped to a bit of a conclusion on that picture then. the general thought still applies though.

Dissappointing pictures. I agree with bigfoot and cuso - We need to remember that sledding is a priviledge and not a right. Crown land is owned by all of society and if society deems the area off limit to sleds then we need to respect that. If we continue to abuse the priviledge, it will be...

bigz64 - wow - that is cheap. any info on what kind of straw it is (wheat, canola, flax, peas)? Flax straw in particular has huge BTU's. Canola and peas not so much. That is cheap though - on my farm I sold my wheat straw for more $ than that in the form of round bales (this year was higher...

Grain Farmer - apparantly a novelty here - I thought there was lots of us! All you Oilfield guys - Thanks for keepin' our houses warm and our sleds (and farm equip.) fed! Here's some farm pics and another way to use the skidoo suit.

talk about a reality check - really puts a face on the power of the snow. Good to keep these images in mind for the next time one is tempted to do something stupid - not that any of us ever are...

that sounds great - I will look out for that.

imdooin' - thanks for that - gave me my laugh for the day - been there done that in fact! the nerve that those trees would grow right where we need to drive!

BigZ64, have you actually moved them with an auger before? I assumed that wood work OK. If someone wants to try this for real, I have all the grain handling equipment we would need (including a conveyor for gentle handling). I am sure lots of people on this site probably are farmers with...

I called Pinnacle just for interest sake but they really only will give retail pricing unless someone sets up as a distributor. FOr the fir pellets they want $209.95 per ton which works out to $4.20 a 40# bag picked up in Quesnell. I don't know what freight would cost but theoretically it would...

Call Colin at Camrose Diesel injection. 780 672 5309 He knows quite a bit about these different engines and the problems they all have. He is biased against chev and is a bit old school but he knows his stuff and does great work on all models. If this sounds like a commercial it's not meant to...

I am trying not to laugh because I don't wish a job like that on anyone - it ain't workin though:Happy4: here is a site with some small plastic bins if you are actually serious about the pellets in the garage idea Here kitty kitty!

farmers..... we are all the same. I was going to use a feed auger and put a small bin outside. when the beers wear off - you realize - just carry the darn bags. kitty poo comment made me laugh - have fun prying that out of the seized feed auger?

it happens!

It would be great to get a bunch together and order a semi load from pinnacle. I would be in for a couple pallets. We could go get them with a grain truck but everyone still has to get them into their houses and bagging them wouldn't be fun! We use a pellet stove insert to heat an addition and...

checked that out and the starting angle can a be a number of different degrees of 0 and so that is what I need to determine if possible.

So we're returning from holidays in Kelowna where we both sled and ski up at Big White. We decide to split the trip home by heading to Revelstoke for the night. about 11:30 pm just as I am heading down the last hill into Revy, I feel a massive whomp and then heavy dragging. I manage to get the...

Thanks Han, The angle of the torsion part of the axle is what I am wanting most. In other words, when the tires have no weight on them, what angle is the torsion axle at compared to the frame or the ground? actually, a picture would be awesome if it isn't too much trouble. I have to order the...

If anyone has one of these old 8.5 x 24 us cargo 4 place enclosed trailers, I would love to get the info off the axle tags. We have a trailers from which the axles were stolen (long story!). Anyhow, we can probably figure it out without any info but it would be nice to have the original info -...
