    Rima WC68 Wood Chipper $1,999.00

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    Was a great day when dad got the Homelite super XL12 ! Was quite the saw in its day. 12 pounds as advertised, never put it on a scale though. 16:1 fuel mix . Manual oiler, no AV or chain break , and pretty loud . Did a lot of cutting with it as I older.

    I hope I can prevent this from happening to other operators.

    Yikes! Glad you're still on this side to tell the tale ! TBN is quite the resource for these close calls to act as a warning to us all ! We should have a way to reach out to the members closest in a case like this to help out while a brother is down and out ! Get well soon !
