    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    I bought one of those. It took some time to get the blade set right and also took time to figure out how to best use it. But the chainsaw gets real heavy with that hanging off the end. I had to take breaks to let my old arm recover. Also have a problem with the chain coming out of the bar and...

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    Got a couple of logs out of the bush for a sawmill shelter I plan on building. They are from one tree and each one is 30' long. The bottom section is 16" at the but and 12" at the top. I learned that peeling logs is a young mans job. This old man took most of a day peeling one log. I had to take...

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    I think I will start by installing the restrictor on the end opposite the ram and see how that works. If I have problems then I will switch ends. I will install it on the tractor since I have 4 implements that need to be slowed down and I don't think they will need different speeds. They all...

    Tractors and wood! Show your pics

    I've been thinking of adding restrictors to my 3rd function hoses because the flow is not controllable. It is either full on or full off and that is an issue when using some of my front mount implements. Question is, do I need to put the restrictors on both of the 3rd function lines or just one?

    Have we been doing it wrong? High rpm's bad when not needed?

    My tractor soot level increases whether I am idling or running at high rpms with no load but when I run at PTO speed and work the engine, the soot level decreases. I especially note the soot level drop in the winter, when I use my inverted snow blower and run uphill. I can hear the tractor...

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    I've been gone for a couple of weeks and no cel service. Back home now and want to report on new info. The day before I left I decided to pull the knives out of the chipper and give them a good look. I found that despite my attempts to sharpen them when they mounted on the chipper, they were...

    I just ordered it. I will find out if this was a good move or a mistake, in a few weeks.

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    I already have this Woodchipper self feeding chipper. The DR is actually rated for bigger stuff. Mine is rated for 4" max.

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    Please don't be sorry. I appreciate your input. I think I will pull the trigger on the WC68. That's the only way to find out if it is better than what I have now and maybe I will be kicking my butt for waiting so long, lol.

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    Welcome to TBN and thanks for your input. I can certainly swing the WC88 but I am concerned that the belt drive system is just more potential problems down the road. My main concern is whether or not the WC68 will feed the small branches (with needles) better than the chipper I have now. I...

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    Something weird is going on! When I type a post the word "chipper" does not get highlighted but when I hit the "post reply" it does. When I go back and edit the post the highlighting disappears. I just want some feedback from owners of the WC68. Edit: it just keeps getting highlighted! No...

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    That's weird! I did not highlight the word chipper and I certainly did not intend for a link to Woodmax. As the thread title states, I am interested in the Woodland Mills WC68. Why is my post being directed to a different site. Something is wrong here!!!!! Do I need to report this to Admin?

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    Yesterday I pulled the bed knife and sharpened it. Found it was cracked. This is the second one that has cracked. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with the mount for it. A quality issue. I welded it and replaced it. I have already sharpened the blades with a diamond stone. I reset the...

    Woodland Mills WC68 Chipper

    I currently have an Agriease 4" gravity feed chipper which is a Chinese knock off of the Wallenstein. I've had it for around 10 years and it has chipped a lot of small stuff, which is all I chip. Normally nothing bigger than 2" to 3" but mostly green tree branches and green tree tops. It works...
