My favorite is 12" or so rounds. Split 4 ways and done. Not too hard on the back. I process it all though.
How about filling up your bucket and skidding some closer to your property at the same time?
Tops are great IMHO. Don't need your big saws and the rounds are light so it is easy work and a lot of them are split once and on the pile. I'm...
It was! Under a $100 delivered with 2 105dl chains. My wife was laughing that I was excited about a chainsaw bar. Told her it's like her...
I got a new bar for the 550xp today. I think it will pull it fine! [ATTACH] Kidding of coarse. It's going on the Dolkita to cut some stumps...
I ran out 3 weeks ago. Good thing there are lots of standing dead elm behind my mom's house. I refuse to call the oil truck.
I think you will find that adding a quieter muffler to these types of engines won't quiet things down all that much. A lot of the noise comes...
In my case it is a couple hundred bucks in hydraulics, free material, and some (therapeutic) time with the welder / plasma cutter. I can also get...
I'm with you. I ended up with a dirty hand tools splitter because they are just so cheap but would gladly trade it for a horizontal unit that I...
I have been planning on making a clone of that for a while. Would be great with a log lift!
I was thinking of doing that at some point. I would just have to add rear remotes to the tractor.
I'm in the same boat-backhoe has to come off, then back on with the 3pt arms. I figure I have about 2 hours invested in that and my steel is...
My brother was in the same boat as you-100 amp service. He bought a bobcat to weld with / use as a generator and he also runs a plasma cutter off...
That did occur to me when I was making it, but I just don't see how I would get the butt end of the log higher than the bottom blade without a winch.
Thanks! I want to make sure it doesn't need anything else welded on before I paint it. I run out of space to keep crap so mulit purpose is good!
Thanks! It sure is a big help. I'm always looking for ways to work smarter and quicker especially since I'm almost always working by myself.
Sounds like you need a miller bobcat or similar ;)
It was only $25 or so in materials, but I guess you would need a beefier version for your tractor. It has a hitch receiver too for moving...
I don't think it is a problem. If it was too much weight the 3 point wouldn't lift it.
Made a 3 point skidding attachment for the tractor and pulled around a 18" oak log easily. Made cleanup after dropping a few trees much quicker....
