I finally figured out the origin of the humboldt cut/face when felling timber. Go ahead and make fun of me, I don't care.

For some background, I am a retired logger/sawyer who worked in northeastern/mid-atlantic timber all my life, primarily hardwoods. I did cut a little pine here and there. The vast majority of the timber I cut was less than 30" dbh. I logged with cable skidders and forwarders. I felled timber with chain saws and a conventional/open face notch.Read More

I have had Woodmizers for over 30 years and never have ask this. I just ordered a Drive Belt and with shipping they charged $227.00
This for a belt seems wrong. Has anyone found the replacement number not Woodmizer for this belt.

I calculate 194 teeth. Is that correct?

My setter (Woodmizer BMT250) hasn't been counting correctly. I've been marking the weld and just watching it to get it to stop.

Obviously, the switches for programming...
