RE: Fire Wood Processor - f350ca - 05-24-2016
Thanks,
The test started out poorly, the splitter circuit worked but couldn't get movement on anything else, turned out two vanes in the small pump were stuck. That pump could be a little bigger, its .1 cubic inch per revolution could do with a .2 but it was in stock.
The hydraulics will load the engine but the saw didn't seam to phase it at all, mind a pretty small Ash test piece. Will have to get the chain oiler working now for a real test.
Yes I was a happy camper when it all seamed to work.
Thanks for watching

it left the shop, so I'm wondering what shade of iron oxide its going to aquire
RE: Fire Wood Processor - f350ca - 05-24-2016
I tucked it back in bed Dave. Mind you its mostly rusted metal anyway.

waiting anxiously for the video with it running bigger wood, I think a nice blue would suit it well
its been a long build but well worth the effort from what I see

Come on Greg get the oiler mounted and lets see some destruction of logs!

Now that I know the concept works, it may take me forever to finish it BF. The interesting part is over, now its work.
And I may have broke your curse, the planer parts arrived and its back running.

Got a question Greg,
How will you the move the machine, is it towed, sits on pads like out riggers for a crane when located?

Ideally it should have a tandem axle with suspension if it was meant for highway hauling, but this will only be moved with the tractor so I went with a heavy single axle. With the 3 point hitch on the tractor I can lower the tongue, block the back then lift the front and block it. The legs will work for adjusting the level.
