    Processed most of a beech top from a tree I dropped in the fall. Hour and 5 minutes total. Made the mistake of bringing up my 461 to limb, but it cut fast 3882A38C-7598-45C8-B396-B5E399A3CFD4.jpeg 2F3AD2D4-D2D1-4463-82ED-C9647F4F0ECE.jpeg 40E0CD7F-3B1A-464E-A475-008F4D54072B.jpeg 37ADF677-F5B2-42BB-A5D8-6044BA8B71B0.jpeg DCA437C0-EE8A-4E70-99D9-B32C94C5CA22.jpeg

    Good stuff there. Ugh, the 461 for limbing, but got it done fast! I love your new hoarding "toy" as im sure you do as well. Can you mount a 50 caliber machine gun to that and work for homeland security?

    Track machine was something I won at an auction recently. It does not dump though. I have no videos yet, maybe this weekend. I might mount a bazooka on it for dealing with traffic. My road rage peaked at a 20 on a 10 scale today.

    i remember seeing the pic you posted when you were bidding on it Woodsnwoods and said that is the coolest wood machine ever. No road rage in the woods though...gotta love it! Making firewood is a great stress reliever! Look forward to many more posts with it.

    Yep, good correction.

    Some pin hinges in the back and an electric winch mounted to the top of the roll bar and you’d have a quick and easy dump ;)

    There are actually auxiliary hydraulics already on it, front and back, so later this spring it will dump hydraulically!!!

    Rushed into the woods tonight but for only a half hour. Dinner with angry wife and phone call from work slowed progress. Got about a third of another beech top. Threw it into machine instead of stacking to save time.:dex: 6CF808D3-D8D5-4404-B466-E156D5E4B730.jpeg 3B1AF752-9537-499B-9CA2-9E60728FB642.jpeg 01412A4D-04A6-4C06-AEFC-B4B0C3EC72ED.jpeg 35D07C55-1708-4437-A16A-A590BF0B4968.jpeg
