One of the pins will have a countersunked drill hole in it, that's the master pin & will be able to be driven out with a sledge & drift, make a drift holder out of a big block of wood with a hole bored through it, get the pin at about 4 o'clock on the sprocket & drive it out, oxy a link out & away you go.

Yep.

Thought about the processor thing, its a someday thing though, I really don't get jobs that big. Next job is 1/2 acre, stump and clear, hence the essavator.

But someday it could happen, and having a processor would make life easier.

Yer down by longveiw right, like near the Oregon border?

Yeah the oregon side of Longview, and on the processor look at it as your off through ground.

Meh, off the ground means spending more money. Yes its supposedly safer, but safer is a relative term.

Its not like I have employees where I would spend less on L+I because they arn't in the brush.

Saw gas and sweat vs diesel, parts and payments.

Sure I could get probably 6 loads a day, even just hand falling, but at what cost? Then once those 6 loads are done, I would need to find 6 more loads for each day the rest of the year. Which to be honest isn't happening anytime soon.

So someday when I find a used one in useable shape... maybe I'll pick one up... maybe...

Now if I got me a many acred thinning project then Hel's yes I would consider getting a processor head, cause thinning means little sticks and lots of em.

Also the thumb plumbing has quick disconects on a direcitional controled T, where as the thumb itself is hard wired, leaving the quick disconnects open.

Thoughts on attachments?

Bucket is a wedge lock, so quick ish change is plausable

That head will cut 28" and with the speed you can cut process most of what you do.

Pardon my Texas-ness. Is this the work of a beaver?


Thanks in advance!

 

[rwoods]

My experience is very limited but it looks to be. Is it close to water? Ron

 

[rwoods]

BTW they throw much bigger chips than the best .404. Ron

 

[northmanlogging]

yup beaver

or a husqvarna, but mostly a beaver

maybe a beaver with a husqvarna?

a poulan is a close third but it never would have started

 

[Skeans]

Not that its legal out here, but if you catch a beaver on yer spread, its best to disappear it, before it builds a home and floods yer yard, and the neighbors yards...

Gonna try and take a short vid every morning on this project.

Try and show the progress and process a little bit, I am open to criticism creative criticism, but be aware I'm not exactly the quickest mover, and tend to overthink everything so progress isn't going to be lightning speed or anything.

This is part one, nothing has been cut so far, but the missus is on site.

Beaver is my favorite snack. Really my only motivation. To enjoy the beaver.

I'm gonna have to watch yer vid later northy. Got some beaver that needs taming. I wish. I have to re plumb my kitchen drain and put all the cabinets back after the new sugar maple flooring I put down.
