Righteous Chop saw...:thumbsup:

We had a thread on PTO buzz saws, but I can't remember where it is now. There are new ones being made somewhere in New England. I got mine from an old guy for $100. It sure is a great thing for cutting limbs. The guy I got it from used to have a sawmill and used it to buck slab wood waste from his mill.

That is a nice thread. I read another one about a chop saw earlier. I'd take one in a hot minute, I'd like it to be an old one like yours though...

Be well,

Used BX23 bucket to lift and move mower deck and tiller into shed. Tiller nicely stacked atop mower deck thanks to a couple scrap pieces of 4x4. They'll be under real cover this winter vs covered by inadequate tarp materials.
12ｾ' X 20' shed shrinking fast with BX23, Suski 4whlr, 99 Bearcat and implements. But @ $2,500.00 delivered will make do.:laughing:

I spent about an hour backdragging uphill on the west loop of the driveway, followed by almost 3 hours on the shovel and rake.

Then I ground two 24" plus pine stumps down to ~10" below grade.:thumbsup:

Then I cleared some good oak out of the slash pile and moved it to my firewood bucking pile. I practiced picking up single logs with the grapple tryting not to tear up the grass. I moved half a broken peach tree to the firewood pile. I moved about 40' poplar tree top that snapped in one of the last storms, I could lift it and move it out of the path, but I could not get it to the firewood pile because I did not have a 40' wide open area, and I forgot the chain. I ground a small pawlonia stump out of the tempoorary pasture area, and I tried to use the root grapple to break up a big bump of dirt the bush hog bottoms out on.

I think I got about 3.5 hours of tractor time today. It was awesome!

Then I took my family to a small hoe down & camp fire with their homeschool buddies at a local REAL farm. :thumbsup:

We just got home and my bib-o's smell like s'mores :licking:

It was a GREAT day!

Be Well,
David

David sounds like you had a lot of fun today. I started on finishing the large front yard area I tore up last weekend with the stump removal. Started by digging out a bunch of big rocks, old cut off stump, and leveling up the yard. Then the Wife and I put down 40 bags of store bought topsoil, and seeded and strawed. The wife does the straw, as I still have hay-fever big time. The rocks have always been there, and I have been "sharpening" my mower blades on them for some time. Some are so large I just had to sledge-hammer the tops off of them and go with that.

Sure was great weather though for this kind of work.

James,

Yes I did. So did you it seems. I also grappled a couple very large rocks from around stumps along the driveway I will be grinding.

I called "Miss Utility" and I need to wait for them to paint before I can go crazy on the Pawlonia stumps. The ones I ground today are out in the pasture area where I am clearing. these were stumps that make the tractor titlty, if you follow my meaning...

Think how "tilty" it would be if you didn't have the loaded tires:shocked:

They were hidden under some dirt and barkdust and when I'd hit them, the tractor would lurch to the side... Not so much now!

Loaded tires are nice, yes!
