After cutting over the farm it looks no different than the years past using expensive diesel fuel.

Wayne, I disagree! I’m sure it looks just that much more beautiful.

Wayne,
I just can’t help but smile watching that. Dead weeds, and no gasoline burned, without a goat or a machete. Great job!!!

I cut this patch of hay with diesel but I fluffed it without gasoline or diesel. About a five hour job with the wood burner .

That tractor is a real worker.
Just curious, have you had a puff back while running? Or won’t that happen from the hopper because it’s drawing such a vacuum?

Hello Bill .
I haven’t had a puff back yet enough to open the little lid on top . I have had it grunt a few times kinda like it’s stomach was growling
.
On another note , I know all are probably tired of seeing a lot of me on video woodgasing and I do apologize .
Here is another very short video and it is not me . I promise …

Hello Robert and thanks for the kind words.
I was in the last post and just about to click save when I got a call from a neighbor to rush over . He was needing help with pulling a calf.
Mother and baby are fine now and yes I had the V-10 in the wind on wood .

Good morning all.
Just a short update on the ole wood burning tractor .
I have used the tractor every day this month . Some days in use all day long while bushoging and now in hay harvest and will average about three hours a day. ( I plan about four hours today )
Sunday my son was at the controls for about two hours racking hay while I rolled with another tractor . He handled it fine with one exception when he stalled on a hill but was able to restart in seconds with no help from me . Let me emphasize a teenage driver 100% woodgas , tons of bone dry hay with windrows tall enough that it makes contact with the gasifier often .
It is a ten mile round trip to the hay fields and I usually make three trips a day with the V-10.
Smile with every mile or acre

“S.W.E.A.T.” I like that. We should add it to the official Acronym list.

Anyone actually woodgas producing for Real World using will learn well “woodsweating” the fuel needed.
And Real World using will mean engine powering for useful purposes.
Only flare-starers do not use enough fuel wood to have to woodsweat the fuel used consumptions.
WayneK makes his woodsweating a family affair.
No fuel is ever actually free.
It is the sweating that gives it the value.
Bought out, no sweat supplied, it is then just a commodity making you the user then just an easily swayed, bought-off Consumer.
