ParticipantBachelorFarmer, If you still come to read or check in, I will miss your posts. It’s a sad day when people can’t be themselves. I wish you all the best in all you do! Good luck my friend.

ParticipantAm I thinking too simple? Why couldn’t you use a truck rear end as your forecart axle and link the “driveshaft” end to a hydraulic pump with an accumulator tank for back up? Some of the ground drive ones I have seen use just 4-6″ square steel tube standing 4′ tall on the cart with ends welded into it for the accumulator tank. I know that I am not the one to do that type of welding, but I am sure there are others out there who can.

ParticipantI think Roscoe might be on to something here. This product covers many of the ideas listed in this thread up to this point. Now, how do we get this produced in the states?

ParticipantRobernson,
There is an article in the Jan/Feb issue of BackHome magazine about cordwood construction. It was written by Richard and Becky Flatau, who also wrote the book Cordwood Cabin: Best Building Practices. The article covers the building of a teaching center at the Merrill School Forest of the Merril School District in the community of Merril in north central Wisconson. The students helped build the structure with actually met energy star ratings when they were done. It also made a very interesting building both inside and out. If you can’t get your hands on that issue let me know, I would let you borrow it.

ParticipantParticipantRobert,
Have you tried to use the google language tool on the google page? If you go there and put in the Prommata address you can translate the whole page. There is also a spot where you can write in English and translate to French, or any one of 20-30 other languages. Hope this helps!
Gordon
ParticipantIs this the one you are looking for? http://www.prommata.org/portfiche.php?p=1

ParticipantHow ever did they have a beautiful crop like that with no weeds? I like how the narrator said “Farming never stops”. And the other theme that it was more than a one man job. It took the whole family, together, to finish the job. Did anyone else notice the modern steel I-beams for the uprights on that shed?

ParticipantI knew it, Carl is a TV STAR ! Very nice.
Congrats,
GordonParticipantEd,
Is that the same as what Dr. Beth Valentine is talking about with EPSM?Gordon
ParticipantI will have to say that I spent hours doing research on Rick’s website before and after I bought my plow. Helped me figure out what parts I was missing. The plow (Oliver #11) works great now. I would also say that yes the pictures are great, but from a users point of view, details, the devil is in the details. Thanks for all the hard that you do Rick, the pictures are great!

ParticipantThat sled looks very robust. It also looks like an easy design that could be copied and most guys could build with a little help from a blueprint. Any thought of doing some reverse engineering on it? Very nice work by the way.
