    Put them on last night, along with a four way wedge. Was only drilled for one log catcher, bottom two holes worked for both. I had to modify the second log catcher.

    I would think the front catcher would be really good to have while using the 4 way

    Way to go Tom!!!!! Me and Dad got roughly two cords, or a bit more, from the mill today. All green and will be next year stuff. We got started right at dawn and finished about 1. Put the big 385 XP to noodling them into quarters that could be handled. And, it sure was DANG hot. We drank a half a case of water. Lot's of water returned to the earth off our brows. :D

    Take it from a guy who has seen the pile in person, he has put quite a dent in it. A lot of time been spent right there this summer for Ole Tom. Dang man, that's hard in winter. Real hard in summer heat to accomplish what you have done. Good job bud. God Bless

    Sure will do. Basically like I said on the bottom holes used same bolt for both catchers. The top hole on front catcher was not there, so instead I just did a little hammer work, hit it with a grinder and put a little weld on it. The other option is to drill and tap holes on that side like the other side. :yes:

    Been raining here for the last 3 days ( we needed it bad) and it finally quit this morning. I went down and cut for a couple hours, ran a tank of fuel through each of my saws basically. This is what got cut and piled up ready to split, plus a little more that you can't see from last weekend. Only about 58 degrees here today, nice day to work at it a little bit more. :yes: 20150913_122721.jpg 20150913_122737.jpg
