I just purchased a new Wallenstein FX-140 skidding winch and I'm doing the initial setup. This is mounted on my JD6105 (105hp) tractor. I cut down the pto shaft and when the shaft is completely level the winch is 9" off the ground and when all the way down, on my shop floor, the pto angle is around 30%-35%, which is way too step of an angle to operate.

Hi all,

I spotted a pull through de-limber on a YouTube video, does anyone know who manufactures them? Or what this type is called? (Other than a pull through type). Interesting video, looks to be in the Czech Republic. You can see the de-limber in action from the 50 second mark.
(I've tried to put a

Hello, long-time reader, and first-time poster.
Currently in the build stage of a band mill, (I find the kerf loss and sawdust pile a big turn-off with my 21.5-inch swing mill.)
Different opinions abound on whether a .055-inch, 1.5-inch-width band will survive a 19-inch wheel. I am using the somewhat standard pulley wheel and fan belt setup for the band wheels.Read More

Planning to put in a concrete pad for my mill this summer. Unless you guys talk me out of it. Mill sits under the lean to off my garage right now. Stable ground with 3/4 minus crushed rock. Lean to is 12x36. undecided on whether i need concrete to fill the whole space or just enough to cover the mill. Leaning towards filling most of the space. I guess cost will dictate that. Im in atlantic Canada. Is there options for concrete these days? HAve i heard of concrete with fiberglass in it or something? Does that negate putting rebar or steel mesh in it?Read More
