West Coast Fallers Saw

Hi Robert, I can only get Rolomatics in 36" lengths, but I could take two 36" bars down to the machinist and have him join them together. This should give you a total usable cutting length of 70".
We often do this when we cut large hollow cedar logs that we use here for culverts to drain logging roads.

now how would you go about joining 2 bars together? weld them and then cut a new grove in it? that is the only way i could think.

This is what I am using to buck my wood from now on.

John,
A few farmers still use that set up around here to buck their wood. Rick/Creep

The ones for larger logs had a nice system to bring the log up and then the saw blade moved to make the cut, not the log.

I have used one of those setups before, they cut extremely fast but they are kind of a 3 person setup. Its music though to hear that 3 foot blade just sing.

John, I know you posted that pic once before, but I can't find it, and I'm too lazy to spend more than about 30 seconds looking for it. Treeman posted a poem about cordwood (and sadness) last year...mind if I bring it back up?

It ain't Robert Service, but the pic of an abandoned buzz-saw brings it to mind...
