Yes pyro, nice work. I've been following your build from the diy site. Very impressive. I've been meaning to ask you, what size blades are you running? And where do you buy them? Gotta be close to 20'. Very nice work. Update?

we run an old as dirt 5 headblock 00 frick hand mill, with a frick 2 saw edger and a home made swing saw and a montgomery hog
It's run off a detroit diesel and we run berry feed. Four strand log deck with mellot 5 log turner. I need to get some pics on here we still run equipment we bought new in the 70's.

1983 mobile dimension model 128, I bought it in pieces back in february, with the engine full of water and fir needles. Got the engine running and throughly flushed out in the beginning of March, ordered a grand worth of parts and assembled in in early april, got it cutting last week and finally cut 2000+ BFT in the last 2 days. I love my mobile dimension saw!

2011 model ms660 magnum 36inch and 42 inch bars, Gb lumber mill, rail mill similar to the wombat mill (home made), home made alaskan style mill, 1991 034 stihl with 18 to 25 inch bars, currently rebuilding this saw as it poohed a crankshaft bearing and spun the bearing in the crankcase requiring some fancy building and machining. Last but by no means the least I am designing a dedicated slabber running a vertical shaft four stroke, plans at this stage are for around 50 inch bar but in time will get a bigger motor and bar.

want list consists of a lucas and maybe a woodmizer lt40, but this will probably remain the want list for a long time.

any one with a basket case 034 let me know please.

I got my Wood-Mizer LT40HDG24 on May 3rd, 08 from "petefrombearswamp", and since then, I've sawed just shy of 70,000  bf, operating mobile.

Almost ready to pull the plug on it for the season and do any required preventive maintenance through the winter.
I'll have it parked in the back bay of my garage, as soon as it gets home.

June '09, I got a Cooks Cat Claw band sharpener and single-tooth setter.  Have it all set up in a corner of the garage!

edit 10/10: Forgot about my trusty STIHL 021 for removing the troublesome knots.

-----------

EDIT:  May 8th 2011, I bought the matching Shingle & Lap Sider (SLR) for my LT40.

Now I just have to learn how to use it!

1978 belsaw 40 in insert tooth belt drive with full feed.  , just got it home in pieces.  previous owner used it once for one log
Home made dedicated wide chain bar slabber . 29 in wide capacity (soon to be done)  for stumps, shorts , ect


stumps seem to be the hardest to saw and sand, but have the best character.

I am running an Italian build Pezzolato HD8, it has a 28kW lombardini turbo diesel engine, forged steel bandwheels of 800mm diameter and uses 54mm (2") wide bands of 5740mm length.  It can handle logs of 90cm (35") of diametre and 6,10 metres long (20ft).  All functions are hydraulic and computerized.

Welcome to The Forestry Forum, Log-ic.  I also appreciate your efforts to convert the metric measurements to inches and feet.  It doesn't seem to matter how old I get, I just can't get the hang of metrics.  :D

[dukndog]

Welcome Log-ic!!
I worked for a company in Belgium a few years back, located in Lier. As Tom said, thanks for the conversion!!! We still use metric parts for our equipment, but as Americans, we tend to always convert it back to standard.
