hello, very interesting videos! 👍🏻 And you have great machines! The Kesla products are awesome! It looks like you have 2 different 203t cranes. Is the lifting capacity of the newer worse than that of the older one? I have a newer one myself and it feels like it to me.
Thanks I have two of the newer 203Ts now. The ones I have are a bit stronger than the older one. It was way faster on the swing than the older one. I had to put throttle valves on the swing cylinder lines to slow it down. I actually have a 600lb GMT035 cutting head on one of the cranes so it can handle some weight.
@@archertwo I agree the swing is very fast it has to be handled very sensitive. Good hint from your side with the throttles. Perhaps I will adjust it also at my crane. To me it is a bit confusing/interesting that your newer versions are stronger than the old one. To my knowledge the older ones lift 964kg at 3 meters and the newer ones only 805kg at 3 Meters. Perhaps this is different from Country to Country.. I asked you because I am actually searching for the reason/solution to upgrade my new Version from 2019 to the lifting Power of the older version. Perhaps you know something more about it?
@@waldeslust2036 my tractor hydraulics are set to 2900PSI that may be higher than yours or it could well be that what is sent to one country is different as you mentioned.
Tommy T, you'll need two pieces of 1/4" plate. The one welded on the round rod is 3 3/4" x 2 3/4". The one welded on the pipe is 4 3/4" x 2 3/4". In both pieces cut a 1/2" slot 2 1/8" long to fit the Bridger #5 spring. Drill a 5/8" hole in the longer plate one inch from the end. That is where the pipe will be welded. The pipe is 5/8" inside diameter and is 20 inches long with a 40 degree cut on one end. The round rod is 13" long with a 60 degree cut on one end and a notch in the other to accept the locking chain link. On the square cut end of the pipe weld a link and a half of 3/8" chain. After welding everything together you may have to tweak the angles of the plates a bit to accommodate the Bridger #5s to your satisfaction. You should be able to get everything else off the video.
Thanks Dwayne. The dawgs are nothing like the ones you have out west but we do with what we have. It's still warm enough that I still a few beaver sets out in small steams with slow flowing water. Not our usual mid-January weather fro sure.
I threw out more sets today and plan on more of the same tomorrow and Wednesday ... Should have over 100 sets out for the next video ... Lotta work !!!
@@archertwo not this year unfortunately.....financially couldn't afford it and didnt have a fur shed.....getting back on track now so some fur shed videos will be coming soon
Prices are not good but trapping is not all about the price you get for your fur. Good to see you getting back in the swing of thing with your fur shed.
What an awesome piece of equipment Man! love it... Check out the DIY wood splitter crane from Gorillabac. The only log splitter or pickup truck crane attachment that pulls, lifts, positions and holds big firewood logs for processing or loading. search Gorillabac on RU-vid or see more at www.gorillabac.com. For the general home or small business wood splitter, Improve safety, split more wood, get the big stuff and have fun.
Nice set up don't like Husky saws cost more for parts or to repair them I use the other orange saw with the big Stihl an use air plane fuel so much cleaner less fumes we go cut the tops up after loggers go thru an cut down the trees much better you can buy the tops for $5.00 up to $20.00 a piece granted there is hard places to cut wood best way to find wood follow the log trucks it works ........
No need for a hydraulic saw when I still have a few spare saws left. I'd much rather cut in the rain without a cab than cut in the sun with a cab. No need for a cab with the amount of wood I split. I just pick my days as I need the wood.
Smoking will do that to you.LOL He actually forgot his helmet in his tractor where he was working. He only came out to see how the processor was working and stayed to help out.
hey hows it going i got more questions. 1.) does leaving the saw idling hurt it over time? 2.) im planning on building a conveyor to send the log into position to be cut, and drop the round into position to be split. i was planning on using a hydraulic motor and gear it down and have it run to a shaft spinning roller chain. the roller chain would be the conveyor, sliding the log in the trough and into position to be cut and split. i was planning on using #100 roller chain. will the chain be able to grab the log and pull it, or do you think it will just spin with the log on top? i could use k1 attachment #100 roller chain and weld some nuts on top to give the chain more of a bite. will these ideas work? or should i steer away from using roller chain to pull the log around
My saw idles more than half the time. I've been running the older saw on the processor since I built it about 10 years ago. I don't thing idling does it any damage. I'd say #100 chain with K1 attachments every 16 or so inches should do the trick for the log deck and for the infeed trough. I'd take 1 1/2" angle iron and weld pieces the length of the k1 attachment to push the logs. Bolting them on might work too but welding them permanently in place would work better for me. Have fun fabricating.
That I can do. You can look at my earlier videos and find an early version of the processor. After that I may have do do another video too show you some of the newer "improvements". LOL
Now that I think of you might mean the live deck that puts the log in line with the saw and not the belt that brings it to the saw. If you look on one of my previous videos you'll find one titled, "log deck live feed". You'll see what brings the logs in to feed the belt.
@@archertwo on the log deck live feed, how did you send drive to the sprocket? i was thinking of making one of these with either an AC motor, a DC motor, or an excavator final drive motor
I just used a Char-Lynn hydraulic motor. If I remember right it's maximum rpm is around 250 so it has lots of power to move the logs down the deck. If you're using hydraulics you can easily pull some power to run the live deck from the system.
@@archertwo wow never heard of a char lynn motor, they look perfect, its the same as an excavator drive motor but the correct size and correct price. i have a log splitter with a log lifter. I could use the log lifter ports from the splitter pump and hook them to the char lynn motor, is that correct? then i would be able to use the log lifter control lever to function the char lynn motor.
@@archertwo I used to live in NB I trapped for quite few seasons when I was living there. When I retired from the military I decided to stay in On I love trapping here it is great, I manage 2 registered lines for most of the winter. thanks I like you videos Ps I like your wire bobcat cubbies, made out of old eel pots or the material that eel pots are made from lol I used to have a commercial eel licence in NB
