Man, you could’ve got a new chinese machine at auction for way less and way better quality I hate to say it. I got one for 5500 cad in Nova Scotia. Agt h15 if you care to look it up. There are many brands
The snap pins on all the boom pins should should be better quality and all of them need to be replaced, there’s not enough strength in the ring, and the nuts on the u bolts for the canopy should be lock nuts , other then that I don’t have any complaints it works great for what it is
Man yeah kirk!! Yyiu did great!! That thing will come in so handy!! Congrats on your goal, thats awesome!! Look fwd to seeing that produce stand one day 😉 You are very handy at making things. I bet it wouldnt be to hard ti addsome kind of subframe even pipe for the truck bed trailer. Make a few hinges, and use the haybine hydraulic cylinder. Maybe to at least get an anlge on that bed for easier unloading! But you are like me, way more projects than time!! Thank you my friend !!
That old truck bed trailer was in the bushes here , I was going to chop it up and send it for scrap but then I thought it’d make a good beater trailer for around here
Cute little bugger. Can't dis those little minis!! They can do a lot of work!! Get places the bigger machines can't. You'll get the hang of it 👍 Idle it down a little, you won't be as jerky. When you get used to it, then give er the onion.. You did pretty good!!
I have a MTH5600 & love it but, I hate the Air Filter! I get saw dust particles caked on the intake of my Carburetor after cutting just a little. It's a beast & I have the O-Ring to seal around the carb intake but the filter holes are larger than the dust particles. Frustrated because it won't start after using unless I turn upside down & blow it out w/ Carb Cleaner
Would be easier to free up the plunger if is disconnected from the drive crank - that is keywayed to the gearbox driveshaft, hence your difficulties. Beating up on the whole mechanism with a lump of tree branch isn't doing it any favours whatsoever. If removing the plunger from the rear, best to remember and remove those side retainers first - they have the appearance of a cheese grater and are installed to prevent springback of the hay wedge, after it has been compressed by the ram stroke.
Somebody must have made those spreaders for a bunch of Companies cause there was a lot of them that looked like that. How are you getting those post in the ground?
Hope you feel better Kirk!! Sounds like a good plan on thr market garden!! My goodness , that one tree sure would take your head off!! Progress my friend!! Thank you for the update!! 👍👍😁😁
Interesting. I have a couple of those on my property, but not that big. I got rid of one that was too much for my tractor to move by digging a big hole beside it, undercutting it to roll it in and burying it. Over the years, though, the frost has started to heave it to the surface again.🤷♂
Well, you’ll always have a conversation piece and point of reference. Hope you’re doing well Kirk, thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed day and week ahead my friend.
@@kirksawler1199 when I was logging, we got suckered in to a few jobs like that.. couldn't take any live standing trees, couldn't even damage the bark on them.. but had to get everything else out.. those jobs never get bid high enough..
Logging is a hard way to make a living, specially here , price of fuel is high and log prices are low, if I shipped that fir for pulp I don’t think I’d cover my fuel after paying trucking
Most of the big mills here are owned by Irving , Irving bought a lot of mills and shut them down to eliminate competition, but there are a lot people buying bandsaw mills now and custom sawing
It’s looking a lot cleaner Kirk. Just think when you look at this video a year from now, you’ll see a tremendous difference and say wow. Take care and have a blessed week ahead my friend.
Pretty nice load of wood Kirk ! Man that green poplar is heavy but cured right it's good wood, I split it I like to pile it out not covered then before the rainy fall I just put tin or plywood on top for the winter so the air can still get through the pile to get the moisture out :)
Instead of driving into the snow bank, you should back into the snow bank. Then you can always get out because if you drive in. You got the weight of the front end sinking in an you cant back out.
Man that started good, bith the saw and the ford!! You are getting things cleared out one tree at a time!! Thats a lot of wood!! Awesome progress my friend!! 😁😁👍👍
Man yeah getting it done Kirk! Glad to see the trailer is holding up!! Good call on the saw! Useful items for sure! Stay warm and thank you for bringing us along sir!! 😁😁👍👍
Looking good Kirk!! Can't wait to see you get it all opened up!! That's good someone is wanting some firewood too!! Thank you sir for bringing us along!!
Kirk, I'm just down the road from you. Do you know anyone on the peninsula who is cutting pulp? If you find someone who is, and wants some of your fir, I could add some to that pile. I don't want anything for it, just storm damage wood. Those storms took a lot of firs, so I'm getting rid of a lot of them by my power line plus others that are blowdowns.
