Getting Set Up For Cutting Our Firewood 

Awesome 👍 great saw for cutting fire wood.

Ha, I'm still digging up old vids. I really enjoy your channel Cecil and Heather

Saw an old fellow years ago running one of those and he had run out of gas, so he jacked up one rear wheel of the tractor and got a few of his boy's to spin the wheel and continued cutting.

brought back many old memories. Glad to see someone still using the simple way of making firewood.

Cecil i love the way you talk to Heather you are so kind it show you love her so much and you both work so hard

That is a great setup .. makes cutting easier on your back and no dull chain,, I also like the wood carving in the background ,,lol you both have a super day,,

Always listen and give you a thumbs up Cicil and Heather.....CHEERS

I use to cut wood by the truck loads with a buzz saw just like the one you said recently bought. The saw belonged to my father in law and the whole families got to gather to cut firewood. In just a few weekends had enough firewood to do 5 households all winter. That was a lot of slab cutting. I'm guessing between 100 and 150 cords of wood. It was a fun event as it was a family outing kinda miss those days.

Love it I need a saw like that

Father and Daughter moments are so good, she didnt look happy by the end

Back when we had several small local sawmills we could buy huge bundles of those slabs for $5. We would take them home on a trailer and cut them up like that. Not quite as good as split oak firewood but much cheaper and easier. If you had a couple of links that would clamp on the front axle and bolt to the saw so they could float up and down on a pivot bolt on each end and make one of them adjustable setup would be very easy every year.

Nice way to Cut Wood......Always Good To Have Help Too.............

My grandfather use to put honey on the belt to stop it from moving off the pulleys. We use to cut a full 10 ton with his setup but pops was perminantly cemented to the ground and put the fire wood needed to cut to around it but good on you for using it best ability as we throw we learn new things everyday

You could take some angle iron and make brackets that just mount up to the front axle of the tractor with an adjustable turnknuckle. That would allow you to have it hooked to the tractor with just a few minor adjustments to keep the belt aligned. We did something similar with our old non-styled JD "B" and a hammer-mill we used to grind grain. Great video. Cheers :)

Hi there, when I was younger my uncle, my cousin, and my brother, and I would use a wood sawbuck every year to cut firewood. When my brother and I were very young, i would be the off bearer and my brother would stack it in the trailer. I think about it today and wonder how we kept all of our body parts lol. We had the sawbuck on skids and would change locations when we ran low on wood to cut. We'd pick a fairly level spot for the saw and then use four car axles, one on each end of each skid beaten into the ground to hold it tight. We used a farmall H to power the saw and a farmall F14 to haul the trailer full of wood from the mountain. After a little practice i got pretty good at lining the old H up to the sawbuck, I would put a half twist in the flat belt and back up until the belt was semi tight, set the brakes and start to work. My uncle knew how to sharpen the circular saw, being careful to not take to much out of the throat, sharpen the teeth and put set back into the blade. I can still see him bent over the blade vice grips in one hand and an adjustable wrench in the other when he was putting the set back in the teeth. Those days are over now, my brother passed away in 12 and my uncle in 03. Besides I'm getting to old to be staggering around one of those saws anymore anyhow.

Nice love the old Saw new friend to your channel. We live on a Homestead and run a band Saw mill

on the wheels on your tractor and buzz saw put honey on the rollers . just a bit on each .it works good

I can’t believe your still alive

Nice one guy's. That saw cuts well.All that wood should keep you both snug this winter. Take care. :-))

Looks like you got a keeper there son,, treat her good !

At first I gotta admit I thought what kind rattle trap arm eating thing is that? Very efficient! I like it! You and Heather are are great team

Greetings from Minnesota, Just discovered your videos and loved it. Looking forward to more.

I've been waiting for this video, I knew it was time of the year it would be coming up soon. Thanks for sharing.

Great saw. Good job!

Ive repowered a couple of these old tractor powered saws with 8hp briggs useing vee belts and a centrifugal clutch. Self contained without the lineing up problems and maybe a bit lighter on gas.(I'm guessing) I remember when I was a kid in the fifties my father used one of these powered by a forty horse Fordson major. Fuel was cheap then but that much power is not really needed.

cec you took me back to the fifties hahahhahahaha love your channel

Mmm mm, that belt dressing you use would be great with butter and hot biscuits! I like your rig, Greg.

We used one like this when I was growing up. I think it would be much easier if you put the slab on the shelf and slide it down as you cut. You are doing it the hard way and maybe unsafe. Great video about the setup.

I like that saw pretty slick, now I want one. goes much faster than a chainsaw that's for sure.

I have an old buzzsaw but mine runs off the 3pt and pto. I can cut through wood like......well.....a buzzsaw. I prefer it to a chainsaw for sure.

gettn it done

Dont trip or lose your focus for a second near that thing

love the saw guard or lack of just the way I remember it only had to tell the kids once in those days hahahaahhahaa

😋😍

Heather is a hard worker... what does she have to do to get on Santa's Good list? haha

Cut the Clipper pin off, it could send things into the blade or slice your skin. After 20 minutes of standing around you ask if Heather, Are You Ready?

NICE..👍👍👍 was just wondering if the second buzz saw was grandpas old one?

Some day that guy is going to end up with an arm laying on the saw table. You NEVER stand directly infront of the blade, and push the wood into the saw!

I can remember hearing them saws running many years ago. You could hear'em running miles away, but that was of course before all of the noisy cars were around. What kind of chainsaw is that your using? I take it that it's electric but looks like a regular gas chainsaw.

me like Santa's naught list ;)

Are you moving this operation into the new wood shed?

Just looking at this thing how t add a log splitter that looks like you could do it .

👍

I rarely comment but please don't try to work fast. I had to shut down and collect myself after watching you for a few seconds. Watched my dad nearly remove two fingers with a cord wood saw of the same sort. Google Robert Frost, Out Out

we used honey lol.

I'm thinking a string with 2 magnets and a level

buzzsaw may not be safe super ifficent i want one they seem simple enough to build one

If you cut your arm off with that saw and heather doesn’t love you no more she can call me 🤙🏻

Stack 4 at a time

Heather i just got a glimps of your t-shirt.lol. I dont agree, you seem to have a level head.

NEVER put the hand in front of the blade.. you can lose it doing that forgetful trick. Saw it several times when trying to work fast.

Hi Cecil. New sub here. Good relaxing vid, we have some too you can watch when you have some time.

why is there no sound?

20 minutes later, still no wood cut, very productive, I don't think. Bit like a comedy of errors

NEVER start a tractor from the ground while standing in front of the rear tire

you have give the wrong info on the belt safely and all about the lacing alligator lacing is a different lacing the the clipper lacing you have i have a friend works on conveyor belts he was pulled in on a alligator lacing the was installed wrong and had taking the snub roller bearing out he was very lucky to be able to keep his hand the surgeon said more likely to be removed for the damage was done to it they taking him out of the surgery they say could not be saved they surgeon was not going to take it off that night has been long day for both the surgeon and my friend the exit day they were getting him ready for the surgery one of the the surgery team was up with him and my friend said that his figures feeling like they were in a ball and have been mixed up and he could move them too the surgeon came in and hour later and had to really explain to him their nothing their any more but he did take a very sharp needle and pick all of his figure and hand. the had to bind fold him before that each day they did it he still have his hand and it does work for him has not nerves or blood vessels in his lower arm and hand

how naughty are you

painful to look at him
