O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

[lumberjack]

Long time coming... unless something happens over the weekend I'll sign for this Wednesday when I get back in town.

2010 Kubota KX121-3 with a thumb and a 6 way blade: 814 hours on it. I put 35 hours or so of that on it last year.

 

[brendonv]

i remember that!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Sweet. I was looking at one a while back .... Nice unit.

 

[PCTREE]

how much?

 

[lumberjack]

$35k.

Last Feb 7th and 10th. 490ish hours on it then.

 

[Oldmilltreecare]

Very nice Lumberjack.

 

[SoonerFan]

Step-son needed a tax writeoff so he picked this up for fun...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Is that the one with the slow turning blade?

 

[SoonerFan]

Don't know for sure, but I don't think so. Spins fast as far as I know. Haven't seen it in person yet. He did say it would cut horizontal and vertical. Somehow, it rotates 90 degrees.

 

[MasterBlaster]

They have one out there that turns real slow, but it cuts like a charm. It's the dangest thing I've ever seen... no debris flying everywhere.

 

[lumberjack]

Na, MB, that's the Turbo Saw. It cuts with speed. The slow turning one is the Marshal Tree Saw.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That thing baffles me. I wonder if it's been successful?

 

[lumberjack]

What baffles you?

 

[MasterBlaster]

How it can cut so well and move so slow.

It doesn't "cut". It tears wood the way a stumpgrinder does.

I was in desperate need of a new hitch cord, and you know what I spent a pile of money on other things that I may or may not have needed.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Oh man... there has to be a couple more climbs on that........ Send it to Nice guy Dave and have it tested

 

[MasterBlaster]

I hate a straight handsaw!!!

 

[canadiantreeman]

I mentioned that cord to dave when I spoke with him about the HH the other week. Now he can see what a dumbass I am. I am now well and truly stocked for hitch cord for a while, and with the HH it should last longer.

I used the HH on a straightforward horsechestnut removal today, me likey!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You getting rid of that hitch cord I likey

 

[MasterBlaster]

A 'lil duct tape... it'll be good to go!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Looks more like mice have been working on it.

I sent an old rope bridge in a few months ago and never heard back.


It didn't look near as bad as that hitch cord though!
