I work alone. On firewood duties I like to scoop up a bucket full of rounds and raise them to the wood splitter height so to avoid lifting rounds onto the splitter table. But, there are too many times during the course of the day I need the pallet forks and it gets old swapping between the two...

Second time for me in 350 hrs. Out of warranty now so will take a look at what might be causing it when I replace it. only a minor issue but am keen to know if anyone else has had this happen to them? I can't recall any times sticks or twigs have made it that far into the open station they would...

One more day of hauling out wood and will start bucking and splitting.

I don't, except in big trees and when needing a heap of pounding. They feel better in that scenario. I was just seizing the moment to suggest other types while the wedges awakening was in full bloom. Another would be hard-head plastic wedges (a steel layer at the head to better handle impact)...

Would love to see pics. Grey Box I think is about double the hardness of oak. It's a hopeless feeling when you start with a new or freshly sharpened chain and it doesn't seem to go anywhere fast, producing mini-chips at best and mostly dust. If I were into more of that sort of action, I think...

Is there a reliable online supplier of good quality daedong/kioti filter kits please? I'd like to keep a full set on the shelf, but the OEM filters seem expensive here. These are the OEM part numbers: E6201-32443 ENGINE OIL FILTER F6800-16111 FUEL PRE-FILTER F6800-16411 FUEL...

There are times my tractor will be parked up on farms, exposed to the elements for weeks at a time. So, I'm wondering if there is any generic type of tractor cover that could at least keep the weather off the 'lecky bits? I might just buy a big tarpaulin and crudely shape it to fit, but am...

My new tractor is missing the 7-pin socket and I think there might be a 12v power socket (I have to plug my beacon into something) missing too. The main wiring/connectors are there, but no sockets. Could any RX 20 tractor owner please take a photo of the rear end so I can figure out what should...

Good choice.

Or know where I could find a set? Thanks.

Can't see much reason for closing the other one. Is some good info in there that will now sink to the bottom of the thread stack and eventually off the page, which is a darn shame. Hopefully people can continue in here, or point to another such thread worth following? Thanks.

Yes, I've had this conversation with another band-sawer recently. I agree for grade sawing the best recoveries of the best woods are far better on a bandsaw compared to a swingblade. Swingblades are wasteful and in some wood are a nightmare to get the best grain orientation. That said, plenty...

If only Murphy would contribute enough high quality lumber logs to cover the tab, but he seldom ever does. That said, the trunk on that gum across the race was a good size. Here's a shot from the near side of the river, back down the trunk to the far side:

If small and straight enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ou0HA1cMkc If small enough and don't care too much about the ends or cut lengths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtFzQvGNc4 There is another maker of such machines who offers longer cuts but I can't put my mouse on it. Again, if...
