My firewood tools

[cantoo]

Got a much needed saw today at a sale. Stihl 08S for $100. Runs good enough so I hung it on a nail so my wife wouldn't notice it. View attachment 233637

Also got another splitter. This one will be going to anyone who wants to borrow my good one. I split some big cherry with it, works good just awful slow, auto return is nice. Got a brand new tire for my conveyor for $10 too. View attachment 233641

I decided to make a chainsaw tree today. My wife was not impressed when she seen them all together. Looked bad enough hanging in the barn but out in the open they were easy to count. 12 saws and 2 long pole saws, never put the hedge trimmers in the tree but I have 3 or 4 of them too.
Look at all that orange and 1 little green one in there too.

Auction sale today and more firewood tools. Picked up another buzz saw because 1 isn't enough. Got a better deal on this one so it lowers my average cost. At least that's what I told her, she reminded me that I haven't used the other one yet. Someday those piles of limbs I have stacked up are gonna catch hell. Also picked up a cultivator, maybe use it for grooming bushtrails? View attachment 236029

Bought a 3 point hitch "hand" winch. I have no idea how it's going to work but for the price I figured it would be worth a try. Will upload better pictures when I unload it. View attachment 236030

Bought a fiberglas bucket from a bucket truck. Planning to make a mount that will fit on my loader bucket to make branch removal a little safer. Thinking I should have my wife in it to try it out 1st. It will be mounted on my Kubota tlb with the outriggers down so it should be pretty stable. View attachment 236031

Todays sale. Bought another 3 pth scoop to convert into a 3 pth log skidder. See older pictures to see what the other one looks like. It works great. A tire ($2) for one of my trailers. And a big air pig. View attachment 237039

Bought a single seadoo trailer for the seadoo I bought last week. Lucky find as I didn't know 1 was going to be there. View attachment 237040

And finally the reason I was at this sale, a future firewood conveyor. $175, no motor but I will be putting a hydraulic one on it anyway. Have a hydraulic sweeper that has hoses and 4 motors on it to reuse. Thinking I will make it so I can use it for both splitters or under the buzz saw. Goning to keep it small and light so I can pile or load my trailers with it right in the bush. View attachment 237041

Oh yeah, I bought another cross cut saw too. Not sure how many I have now, gonna have to do something with them soon.

A100HVA, Smith Fall's is over 500 kms from me. I'm a stones throw (1 1/2 hr) from Port Huron Michigan. Nice looking processor you have. There are a few of your type of trailers around here too but most of our woods are pretty open so most guys use farm tractors and wagons.

Genius, I worked in Michigan for a few years delivering and setting up modular homes. I worked all over Michigan and seen some of the big dairy farms around Grand Rapids. My daughter works on a local dairy farm here and milks about 300 cows. Lots of JD green around here too and lots of the wooden shoe wearing guys too. My wife is Dutch.

I finally had a chance to try out my newest buzzsaw and man this thing is going to get some use. Fast and easy to use and safe if you watch what you are doing. I was planning on just cutting a couple of pieces so I never plugged in the conveyor so it piled up quickly. Easy to cut whatever length I want and be very accurate but cutting up limbs it produced a bunch of odd lengths quickly too. This thing is going to be handy to drive in the bush and cut up limbs and small deadfalls beside the trails. I have a skeleton elevator that someday will attach to this for use in the bush to dump into a trailer. Even if I just have someone drive and I cut and drop the stuff on the trail and then later comeback and pickup the chunks with the loader. View attachment 237481

I bought one a year ago and have never used it, my bil has used it and loves it. This one is the same drive system but has a heavier frame. View attachment 237482
