Yes, it is an older 028 Wood Boss. Dad spotted it laying out for the trash a block from his place. It was all in pieces and tagged by a dealer. He put it back together and couldn't get it to run even though it had spark. With Stihls I've seen this before. I put in a solid state coil and it ran like a banshee. I'm assuming the dealer was going to overcharge or couldn't figure it out so the owner threw it away. I really like it for a mid range saw. I trim with the 192, and the 660 gets the bigger logs.
Sweet arsenal! Are the two in the foreground both 090's? That is what you should've used for that stump! Give one of thoseold girls a workout.
One is a 090AV and I do run her occasionally. One of the cleanest I've ever seen. Fun to run but with the chain speed, the 660 will out cut it time wise. Making a cookie here. Saved it to make a table out of someday. The other is a 090 WNA-B A family friend who we did a bunch of take downs around his home recently gave me all his saws since the pic. Another 009 and about six 031's in various stages of repair. This is a pic of Dad and my saws from about 3 years ago. The Macs are gone but still have more than shown with my additions.
Sweet 090's! I hope that you strapped that cookie in before you drove away! I had two 4 ft cookies from a red oak in the bed of my truck. I wasn't accelerating or braking fast and it slid front to back, pushed the bed into my cab and buckled my tailgate pretty good. Lesson learned bed liners and wood don't mix even if you're not going far!
As for the 090 wana-b, is that a Chinese ms 070 kit saw that you put an 090 jug on it? I was just curious because of the name. That's just the first thing that popped into my head. If that's not the reason I hope that I didn't offend you.
The wheel wells and tailgate locked it in place. I was only going about 1/8 mile to my place as this was a neighbors dead ash we worked up for him.
No offense. It was sold to me as an 090 I didn't know any better. They had stuck an 090 tag on it. Once I found out I made up the new plate as to not deceive what it is. It has a 070 size jug on it still.
Wind died down some and we decided to chip up the brush. Dad wanted the chips for his garden so it'll save burning it all. We're just blowing it in the back of the truck and he has a tarp laying on the floor. We move it quite a bit to save steps. the chipper does real well and it's basically as fast as you can feed it. Feeding constant works best. It chips really nice. The long dark pieces you see are catalpa beans. they feed right through. It has a quick adjust chute and a power feed. You can reverse the feed as well if needed. It never plug normally Ended up being just one load which was fine with me. Took us about 2 1/2 hours. Getting ready to dump it in Dad's garden here.
After lunch I decided it was time to cut this ash down. Standing dead for 5 years now and you can see the bark is off of it for the most part.I want to drop it straight back in line with the camera view. there is a burn pile out of sight and I'll burn the junk tomorrow. This is at my place so the wood will go straight into the boiler house. Nice when they are this close. Got the wedge out but didn't even need it. It was just barely unbalanced the way I wanted it to go. That doesn't happen too often. Nice, slow and steady drop. No other tree damage and we got it all cut up. Even hauled most all the wood not needing split. Not needing split means I can lift it so it's about 16" and under. Got a good bit done today.
I love the tractor and the 3 point hitch chipper Kevin in Ohio! That definitely had to save you a crap pile of time. Nice work! P.S. don't let J. Dirt see the tractor set up he may be calling you up and haggling to get the whole setup!
We have onion hoes and a heavy duty version that I got with my stove. I get a pic of it later. You can push a lot off the back with just your feet once you get going. I have been finalizing plans in my head for the ultimate wood gathering truck. (for us anyway). Just haven't been able to find a decent K30 4x4 here in Ohio. Everytime I call they are already sold. Anybody on here from southwestern Ohio that knows of one, give me a shout. I don't need a bed and it doesn't have to run. Just need a good frame and running gear.
I can just imagine what you will make for a wood hauler..............................There is such a thing Kevin, it's called a LOG FORWARDER.
It was zero this morning here and evidently a little too cold for the camera on the first 3 pics. Since it's cold a need a fire to keep warm! I'll start it and throw the remainder of the brush on it while I babysit. I'll peel the rest of the bark off and burn it as well. You know as soon as you split it is going to come off anyway. Tree ended up being 25 inches 3ft up from the ground. This ought to keep me warm. Notice the saw in the middle bottom of the pile for scale. Walked down to the boiler and got a 5 gallon bucket full of coals. Didn't take long to get it going with that. Some good heat and we're burning clean. I cleaned up close to the pile first before it got to be too much heat. Just the chunks left to split now. I'll get the splitter out and we about a days worth of splitting as it's in 3 locations. Some nice wood here. All raked in and it'll have coals there for a couple weeks I'd guess. Coal pile is about 4 ft deep and 20 ft in diameter.
