I think we saved quite a bit of money because these are rather large Timbers so they are expensive. The sealer is a large can that will be able to do the whole wood shed. The shed is 28 feet long by 6 feet wide and 7 feet tall. We did the whole thing because it looks really good honestly plus it should last for a long long time.

Thank you! Cheers!

Conventional works amazing honestly, especially if you have the free wood. Conventional will also never break.

Yes that would be real nice.

Definitely an excellent machine. Thank you kindly.

Perfect, thank you kindly!

If you see some of our other videos, we have a mixture of equipment which is most John Deere equipment. This side by side is the only piece of equipment from Yamaha. We try to get the best equipment we can afford and are definitely not brand loyal.

This year we went through 3 bush cords. In a colder winter we go through 4 to 5 cords. We have not had to replace anything yet. The dealer told me that the fan and pumps should last for about 5 years. Headmaster is good so far but I had an issue with their technical support. I had an issue staring the boiler the is year because the there was some creosote buildup in one of the fans and it was stuck. I called them and they did not call me back until 4 business days later. I did not like that very much especially if it was an urgent matter. We do have propane backup but was expecting better from customer service. It was actually the dealer that took my call right away and helped me diagnose the problem. The only reason why I chose headmaster really is because the dealer is about half hour away from me. I did not want to buy something that would be difficult to service if I had to or could not do something myself. I would recommend getting one that is closest to your house. From the research that I did before buying, they are all pretty much the same when it comes to the conventional ones, the gasifiers are a little bit different and headmaster is the only one that was EPA approved at the time. Let me know if you have any more questions, I am happy to help. Please check out our other boiler videos, you may find them helpful.

Thank you kindly! Glad you found it helpful.

That’s is great.

Thank you!

We are honestly in the process of looking for properties in the US. If Trudeau wins and Biden loses, that will be our sign to make the move.

@@timberstoneranch right on man. lots of nice remote places west of the mississippi river but the govt and native American tribes own about 30% of it and the west coastal states are no better then what you would be leaving. i live in east TN and it is really a nice mix of natural beauty with lakes and mountains but also lots of civilization. once you are sure you can meet any building codes which mostly aren't too bad you wouldn't get messed with. certainly not paying any ridiculous carbon taxes or any of that crap....only thing is you will need to pay for air conditioning electricity because it gets hot during the summers. you know, ive always considered myself an enviromentalist....meaning i take care of mother nature and respect her.... but most that refer to themselves as such are just nuts and need to be institutionalized. either way, good luck to us both. If Biden gets re elected im moving forward with my retirement plans to Southern Italy.

Thank you so much for the advice. I really really appreciate it. I really hope Trump will win and bring some sanity to America. Everything seems upside down and backwards now. It’s a very difficult choice between Trudeau and Biden. Italy is actually really nice place and their more recent government seems to be really reasonable. They have rejected all the craziness. We were considering Italy ourselves actually but to buy any sort of large plot of land is considerably expensive. Smaller country with much less land.

@@timberstoneranch me too my man. yeah you won't find big plots of land in italy but you will find really nice homes for much cheaper in southern italy on smaller plots in the countryside that are really laid back and quiet. its beautiful southern california-like weather and surrounded by the medd. sea. cost of living is low. population is shrinking quickly. but maybe that's not a bad thing? idk. italian folks are really nice and i love that. there are reasonable firearm rights and that along with the mafia(suprisingly) keep out invaders that would turn the culture upside down. its very easy for US and Canadians to get permanent visas. easiest one lets you live there as long as you can support yourself and not work( so that you aren't displacing employment opportunities for italians) im a pharmacist and i figure i will volunteer at a local pharmacy to help my italian vocabulary and to meet and donate my time to the locals. i would hate to give up on north america but i think we are probably both smart enough to have a plan B. ✌️

For sure, it is amazing to find like minded people now days. Most of them have been consumed by the woke media. I know that Italy has a decent gun culture and gun rights. The weather is amazing too in a way that you can grow food pretty much all heat. Also, I am not sure if you have heard about this but there are some rural towns that will even give you a free house as long as you put 50k into fixing it. Thanks again. Good luck to us all.

Thank you!

Thank you, we are trying to be helpful.

A free standing stove is definitely a good choice. They have advantages of cooking as well as they work even without electricity.

Yes it pays for itself rather quickly if you have the square footage. The exercise of harvesting trees is good for the body but in addition to that I find it very relaxing for the mind.

Yes it’s brutal!

Agree.

Hello, everything is well. I hope you are doing well. The light bar we put on is a 52 inch curved light bar. I checked my Amazon account but it says product no longer available. However it did recommend a bunch of other similar ones. We got a curved on to fit for the machine better. We also used the brackets that it came with but instead of drilling into the frame we used large metal hose clamps from Home Depot for like 2 bucks each, they are solid. As far as the light bar, we paid about $100 bucks Canadian at the time just to give you an idea. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

That’s a good choice. Everyone I know that has a traditional boiler has had it for over 10 years with no issues whatsoever. I hope you enjoy.

What would you recommend instead?

@@timberstoneranch hot water and vinegar. 50/50 mix. Let it soak, then scrub with a pad. Rinse thoroughly a couple or three times and you’re good to go. Cleans, disinfects and leaves no residue. All natural too. Soap has been known to leave hidden residue that can/will affect the taste and smell of finished syrup, according to veteran sappers.

Thank you kindly. I really appreciate it. We will definitely switch to vinegar.

Yes I know. New to us though.

$500 is very reasonable. Here in Ontario they are charging 700 to 1000 per season for even a small subdivision driveway. One like ours is$2000. Also if you have other things that you can use the tractor for, it would be worth it. We use the tractor for everything on the property, would be lost without it.

@@timberstoneranch I retired to NB from Ontario, I also have neighbours with tractors and just bought a John Deere 350 for cutting 2 acres

@@larry-wellsI hear more and more people are doing that. NB is so beautiful.

Hello, yes we have sold the gator RSX as it was more of a racing performance vehicle rather than dual purpose and utility. I agree that the gator is too loud and not safe for kids. We do love the Yamaha for its space and it’s performance. The price of the Yamaha too is much more attractive for what you get. The Yamaha was almost $7,000 cheaper as we have it configured. I would recommend you go look at one in detail and perhaps try one out. We still have other gators on the property but they are the 550 cross over model which is again more of a utility vehicle, as we do love our John Deere over here. I hope this helps and good luck.

How many chickens do you have now?

@@timberstoneranch Started with 4 hens. One ended up being a rooster. Now we are up to 10 birds.

Very nice.

Thank you, I will look into this.

Yea very handy. Well worth the money.

It is a very nice riding machine. Much nicer than our John Deere. It’s a heavier machine which does make it smoother.

Awesome thanks!

Also another question, what brand is your light bar ?

Definitely is. Love it.

We have only had it for 3 seasons now and there have been no issues so far thank god. It does come with a 10 year warranty similar to standard units from the same manufacturer if that is worth anything to you. You should watch my video comparing the gasification vs standard unit if you have time. It’s a really good one that has additional info.

Yes, the more I use this the more I wish I had a cab tractor with a pull type and a snow pusher box/blade.

It all depends where you live. We don’t have such a thing available here is communist Canada.

@@timberstoneranch o harsh. Yeah wood is the way to go then

Owww. Communist Canada.

Hmmm, coal doesn't grow on trees where I'm from .

@@lokirussell5891 me neither I am about 400 miles from it. But it's still a better option for me.

You are the second person that has actually recommended that. The snow pusher makes it so there is now hand work around buildings at all. I am in the process of trying to source one out. Thank you.

We are in Ontario Canada. Similar weather to Michigan.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That is very interesting. I will try that method and see how it works. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you 🤗

You got it! Hahahahha:

His tractor shouldn’t depreciate $11,000 in five years or $22,000 in 10 years. At worst he breaks even and has enjoyed the use of his own tractor…you, me and he all made the right choices.

That’s a good idea. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

He was a great man. I hope you found the video helpful to make your decision easier. Please check out our other videos regarding the boiler as we have a gasification unit as well and are happy so far.

They are expensive to begin with and they do come with really good warranty from different manufacturers, however they are definitely not good for everyone and every situation. Our propane bill was just under $6,000 a year to heat everything so this is working out for us so far. It also depends on propane price in different geographic locations. The rate in our area is over a dollar per litre once you include the carbon and other taxes. It would equal out to around $4/gallon in US.

@ironsales5669 • Yeah , but he said that he heats MULTIPLE buildings with it , not just his house , and can also heat the swimming pool water which gives you a extra month of swimming in the spring and a extra month in the Fall , Propane doesn't do that ! I have a inside Wood Furnace 150,000BTU and my heating bill is around $75 dollars . Not a month ! But for the entire Winter ! or around $7 to $10 per month

That is awesome. That is what you call real independence. Love it.
