We have a Rottne Rapide Forwarder (late 1990s machine) but the forward and back is stuck in low speed. Anyone know what could be the cause?

I don't do a whole lot of logging but like anything, when I do, not having the right equipment makes things sort of a hassle. A friend of mine gave me an old back blade a while back, and not needing it for back blading, I decided to turn it into a logging arch for my tractor, along with using some other materials I had laying around the house. I built this about two months ago, and have been using it lately to get trees out of the woods for the house.Read More

I am considering purchasing this mill but can find NO online info about it. At first, I thought it was a bolt mill, but further investigation makes me think its a well done scale model of a Howell No.3.

My HM 126 has needed blade alignment several times. What I mean is I've had to realign the driven pulley to keep the blade correctly running on the pulleys.
I know how to do the alignment, it isn't hard once you understand the mechanics of the adjuster. I just don't know what happens to make the adjustment necessary. Read More
