The picco chain needs to run a picco sprocket or in this case a .404 turned down to the diameter of a picco sprocket - the picco sprocket spline will NOT fit on a larger clutch drum ... If you try and run a 3/8-7 with picco chain you will hammer the snot out of it in short order , even though both chains are 3/8 .05 the drivers are different lengths

especially on a Torque Monster 572xp Hotwoods-ported build.... With north of 7.5hp and more torque than any competing builds

Is that a fact? And why does your "torque monster" cut little baby wood? No doubt better than hotsaws101, all with no machining.

Three quick pics of today's job....8:15 AM.....10:00 AM.....3:00 PM, respectively...

Nice tree!

Did you work with Carl on this one to clean up the mess?

 

[treesmith]

No sir. Just me and my guy. (Plus Gehl and dump trailer).

 

[Frankie]

Looks like y’all have better weather than here in WNY ! It’s a balmy 19 degrees up here with snow ❄️. Saws are on the bench gettin maintained (cleaned , chains sharpened , any questionable parts replaced etc) until it warms up a bit ... little cool for tree work/processing at the moment 😃

 

[treesmith]

Weather’s been great for working here. Lows in the 30s, highs in the 50s/low 60s.

 

[Frankie]

Last Ash we did was near the end of January and it was about 30degrees - not beautiful weather but bearable , When it’s in the teens and realfeel with wind is -5 to 5 degrees F it kinda takes the wind outta your sails if ya get my drift

 

[treesmith]

With my fear of heights and overall aversion to work, once it gets below 30°, I generally don’t work.

 

[cory]

From the middle pic it looks like your plan is to make a rat's nest and clean it up after, rather than as you go. What attachment(s) do you have for your gehl? How many loads in your trailer? Any desire for a chipper or nah?

 

[treesmith]

Pretty much clean up after so long as the drop zone doesn’t get too congested. BMG on the Gehl. One big load on the trailer and then hauled prolly 4000# of firewood home in front of the Gehl.

 

[cory]

Nice

[cory]

Wow that is huge. Brand new?

 

[treesmith]

Yep.

 

[Jed]

Sweet trailer.

 

[PCTREE]

I second the sweet trailer sentiment.
Around here we have to pay to dump brush so a chipper is a must.

 

[Tree09]

Nah, you just need a tub grinder!

 

[PCTREE]

Those things are not fuel efficient.
if I had sold the business one of my projects would have been to make a wood proscesor. I was hoping to make a fuel efficient system to put large brush into and produce a fuel quality product that could easily be dried and loaded with loaders

 

[treesmith]

Any desire for a chipper or nah?

Sorry...forgot to reply to that. I had a chipper years ago. Do t mind them, but they require a truck to chip into. I have plenty of places to dump so I’d just as soon haul. Made the mistake of taking the 16’ trailer today, due to tight driveway. Had to make two loads on it. The new one would have made a single load, with any leftovers riding home in front of the Gehl.

 

[PCTREE]

What do the places you dump at do with the brush/wood ?
