I have a 2009 Lt 40 hydraulic with a Kohler 28 hp engine
A few weeks back it developed a backfire in the exhaust when decelerating after the cut. It occurs after the engine warms up discussed with a few engine people and they steered me toward a burnt valve. With the engine having 7000 hrs I decided to replace the complete head assemblies. Tore down the engine cleaned it up installed the new heads and replaced the engine on the mill. Fired up and started milling when engine warmed it proceeded to backfire again. Pulled the o2 sensor was all carboned. Cleaned and replaced and ordered a new one. Still backfiring and now seems to be running rich. Looking at replacing the throttle position sensor.Read More

My 843 feller buncher is a stick steer. It always turned smooth until today. Now when I go to turn it is real jerky and slams in the direction of the turn. Hydraulic oil is full, Any ideas guys?

My last job was cutting cedar 6x6 posts and cedar 2x stock for porch railings and pickets.

My method was:
1. Center the pith end to end with the toe boards, 2. Mark my 6x6 marks on the end of the log
3. Align my blade on my upper mark
4. Then used the Auto Up on Accuset 2 to get one or two 2x flitchesRead More

Lost a good man last week in Bedford PA. He handfelled, son drove skidder, brother loaded and bucked and bought timber. Great family. Hand felling death on the last tree, on the 1st day, of the last job the brothers were ever going to do.

Be safe out there!

In full disclosure I'm asking this question for my son about his property, in addition neither of us have ever had any experience with loggers, foresters, timber buyers or sawmills.
My hope is to tap the knowledge of those that are in the respective businesses to give us a better understanding of what to expect in the process.Read More
