Hi Jacob, Tony is trying to tell us he has big hands. He can't press the e and 4 key at the same time on the keyboard.

django,
I have a pp372xp that might pull a bar of that size and also a blue PP7900 thats lost some place maybe in outerspace not sure but if it ever finds its way to me I will load up and make a run up your way... is this wood someplace we can get to it?? with all the rain hear its sure muddie.
Woodsjunky,
That is extremely nice of you. However, the logs will be delivered to my house one at a time, at the convienience of the guy that has them, so I have several to cut up, but one at a time. It's a pretty sweet deal for me. No transport.

django,
I remember some of the pics you posted in your shop. Was that your own home shop or a place in which you work. It looked like you had quite a good supply of equipment. Do not get me wrong all the tools in world will not build a quality piece of equipment if the guy has no talent. Anyone that can design and build their own flywheel splitter and outside burner obviously has the talent. Any grunt can put together a usable hydraulic unit but the design of the flywheel machine is quite different. If I could afford it I would pay you to build me one.

Hi django, yes that was indeed a fine gesture on Eric's part to saw up some wood together. The experience will be worth 5 years on your own, so don't miss out if you can.
P.S., I liked your comeback to Rocky- "Rocky, I appreciate what your saying. However, I don't live in Florida".

The shop in the pics is one of the shops of my employer. I don't think I would ever leave home if I had a shop as nice as this one.
Thanks for the compliments.
Gypo, Anybody ( Rocky) who is used to seeing nice sized Red Oak logs in the dumpster to be landfilled, is bound to be a little picky about "firewood". I assure you I am not. I would really enjoy Woodsjunkie's expertise if it would work out. If he's a woodtick, I am probably a powder post beetle.

django,
I tried to send you a message hopefully you got it. I got to thinking I could trade you some new saws for a custom built outdoor burner. Heck your close enough I could put the forktruck on the trailer and just "borrow" your wood burner late at night. Of course I would leave a new 088 in exchange.

Got yours, sent you one. The stove weighs 3500+lbs full of water.
so, theoretically you could pick it up and go. However I have a Bassett hound that is 35lbs of ankle-biting fury you would have to contend with. Also, it is an amazing 52 degrees here today. So you would sink in the mud pretty bad. Still don't have the saw, But am still very much looking for one.

Well, I bought an Echo CS-750EVL.
Probably because of Jokers romantic memories, And I like to be different. Just rebuilt the carb and got the oiler working again. ( neat oiler) I need a bar and sprocket, but a certain Mr. Sikkema is taking care of that. Great guy. Saw has great compression and is in nice shape overall. I would have to say, a very well made saw. But it is HEAVY.
For what I am going to do, not a bad thing.
Silverblue, When are you going to be in Sandusky??

Have you tried out your echo yet?
Hi Ryan,
Sure have. Using a Sandvik full ch. skip chain, works pretty well.
Felled and bucked a 34" Pig Hickory tree 2 weeks ago, HARD wood. Tree was dead but not hollow. Very dense and solid. 28" bar is all it wanted in that stuff. I'm sure an 066 or Husky 288 etc... would have been faster, but it is a good running saw with nice "grunt." And it was cheap. The best part.

outside wood stove, flywheel splitter?
Can you pass on any more info about your outside wood stove or flywheel splitter that would help me build? Do you know of any plans? I can weld and do basic metal work. I've seen both in some of the trade magazines but would like to consider building my own because of cost. We presently have a 20 ton hydraulic splitter (Italian brand) with a B&S gasoline motor (around 6 hp) that we use for a missions project putting people to work in the former Yugoslavia, but the cycle time is slow and it does load up and stall/quit on big pieces (3 foot long 30" maple).

Stan,
I would like to help, but to properly assist you would take more time than I have to give.
You can do what I did, and that is to get all the brochures/info you can and go from there.
Niether one is a small project, and both require some serious tools. Not to mention time.
Good luck to you.

PS,
Flywheel splitters are by nature, horizontal machines. Just loading a 30" X 36" log into one is a job.
