Central Boiler E-classic 1450 new installation

[Northenguy]

Hi guys,

First post as a registered user but I've been following the posts here for a while. I would just like to thank you all for posting such valuable info on here, I've just fired up my new e-classic 1450 today after finishing up the installation. I found most of the answers I had regarding OWBs on this forum which lead to my decision of buying one. It is really nice to have a forum where every post doesn't end up derailing on EPA ratings or "dont buy an OWB or a kitty will die"

Here are some pics of my install, time will tell but so far I am really happy with my install.

thanks!

Welcome to the Forestry Forum Northernguy.

I have to agree with you... nice looking install. But, I need more info on that New Holland.
Is that a rear end loader or is my computer screen broken? That's the first I've ever seen, but I don't get out much.  ;D

The barrels must be antifreeze?

haha your screen is not broken my tractor looks weird it is a TV6070,  the seat and console swivel 180 degrees front to back so you can drive it looking fwd or aft, it is like having 2 tractors. The loader is usually installed aft of the tractor because  you have a better view of what you are doing, you control the loader with pedals like a bobcat and drive the tractor with the steering wheel/ hydrostatic lever.

It is very useful in the winter time, I have an hydraulic plow in the front and a big snowblower in the back so you are always facing forward when plowing or blowing snow, easier on the neck

Thanks!

And yes barrels are propylene glycol, temps get down to -60 here in the winter time, I didnt want to have to worry about having water outside at those temps lol

Agreed.  Use dry wood!

That is one sweet New Holland!

Dry wood is your friend.  I am 1 month into my second heating season with my 1450 and I love it.
