It's 34 acres and the 56th annual event, there's dozens of wood and coal powered tractors and stationary units running all day; you have to love that smell! As well as 50-100 hit and miss engines running at the same time! They thresh wheat, bale the straw, shuck corn, press and cook sorghum, run stationary and portable saw mills (powered by steam engines) cut cedar shake shingles, run a pto and belt driven dyno, steam tractor and antique tractor parade, tractor pulls and so much more!
If you think that looks like a bad idea think about these two (did not get a good picture) it's a belt driven 4-5' single man saw that's belt driven so not only are you running a chainsaw but you also have a steam engine and a belt system all to trip you! Video of one running! The other was a flymo aka wheeless, hover mower of death!!!
Any idea how the drag saw advances the saw into the cut? Great stuff by the way. I love anything coal, steam and iron.
Not exactly, but they lock it in with chains most likely has a stroke activated advancing mechanism or could have a spring tensioner that keeps a constant tension.
