How to mount / power a harvester bar ?

Warren · November 25, 2009, 09:34:03 AM

Gents,

I am toying with the idea of bulding a small firewood processor. Have a clear idea of the parts and materials for most everything except the saw. I am thinking of using a harvester bar and chain (.404, 11H, 3/4). But can't seem to find a picture or guide for how to set up the hydraulic drive, chain oiler or tensioner...

Any help or tips on finding the materials, or pointing me toward the sources would be greatly apprecaited.

Anyone here have pix of a similar project for ideas ?

Thank you !

Now... I've done both.

Warren,how rude of me not to wish you good luck with your project and keep us posted with details and pictures to help out the next firewood processor builder.

tcf,

Thank you ! The "foundation" arrived yesterday. I will try to post pics once I make a little head way. current condition might not make sense right off the bat. Although I bet Ironwood would get it....
