Forestry and Logging / Re: Need tractor help please
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 03:55:44 PMmight be air in a line and not able to operate the injectors. need to bleed the fuel line to each cylinder maybe. I have also added air pressure to the tank to help the fuel along, but that was when it would not run. a chunk of Styrofoam to cover the tank opening with a hole in the center for the air nozzle, to create some + pressure in the tank. does it rev. like it should?

Forestry and Logging / Re: Tractor logging with winch
Last post by B.C.C. Lapp - Today at 03:50:13 PMI like how Gordon throws two chokers over his shoulder, grabs his main line and walks effortlessly uphill to his logs.
Every time I leave my skidder parked for a small job and use my winch and tractor I always smile when I first pick up the light chokers and pulling the line is so easy. I can pull 120 of cable off my winch and still be walking easier than 25 ft of main line with the skidder.
Low impact slow logging like that is an enjoyable day. Keep at it Gordon.

Forestry and Logging / Need tractor help please
Last post by Bruno of NH - Today at 03:34:31 PMI changed the fuel filter on my Kubota l3240
It's a cartridge type
The tractor started right up and runs good but when you step on the hydro pedal it stalls right out.
It feels like a fuel issue
What should I be looking for ?
Thanks in advance

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Horizontal slab shaver.
Last post by Dave Shepard - Today at 03:27:08 PMI think he has a small brush chipper. He also has a market for chips, I don't. For the cost of a chipper, plus the time it would take to do the actual chipping, plus having to have a truck to haul the chips, I could pay to have them hauled away for years. Neither of those options is financially feasible.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Horizontal slab shaver.
Last post by Dave Shepard - Today at 03:11:32 PMThis was not a shaving mill in the traditional sense. The slabs fed into it like a planer. It was not a complicated machine, and was low horsepower. It looked like it would be perfect at the end of a set of rollers. Anything that wasn't a board or flitch, just let it keep going to the shaver. This would make slab disposal happen without adding any additional time to sawing, and at 10hp, would not add much cost to the operation. Product would presumably be suitable for cattle bedding. My options right now for disposal are hauling then away at around $8-900 per tri-axle load, or hiring a large chipper a couple times per year, assuming I can talk someone into doing it. Owning a chipper plus spending the time to chip would be many years of just trycking it away. Burning is not an option.
The Salsco machines look awesome, but they are actually too productive, too expensive for my purpose, and would add probably more fuel expense than running the mill itself. I think they would make sense for a higher volume mill than what I'm running. Disposal costs are only going to go up around here.
