DotheDoo 15 #1 Posted May 19, 2014 I'm just wondering if anyone here has converted a free standing cord wood saw to fit on the front ot their 300,400,500 series running it of their PTO? And it is removable or just used a long belt to the saw to make it work? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rexman72 210 #2 Posted May 19, 2014 sounds like a good project to make it work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 624 #3 Posted May 19, 2014 There is an occasional CL listing out of KC, MO selling something like this attached to a Lawn Ranger -- I believe it was said on Red Square that this modified tractor originated out Minn. or Wisc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,908 #4 Posted May 19, 2014 I had to do a search to see just what a cordwood saw was. It looks like it would be pretty easy to set one up to run off a Wheel Horse PTO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baerpath 517 #5 Posted May 20, 2014 There was one on Binghamton C list over the winter, hooked to a C160. Looked like they used a 24 inch blade rather than the 36 one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,516 #6 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Sounds like a can-do project. Years ago in Kinzers, PA we used long belts off steam tractors to run saws. Rough 'n Tumble in Kinzers was a favorite place for my two sons. Personally, I enjoyed the hard cider the most, the most! http://www.roughandtumble.org/ Edited May 20, 2014 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DotheDoo 15 #7 Posted May 20, 2014 I came across one that has a 27" blade but I need to find out with side the pulley is on.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 501 #8 Posted May 20, 2014 We had one mounted to the front of a Farmall H as a kid Belt Horse Power of an H is rated at 24HP, don't recall how big the saw was but we had no trouble cutting through railroad ties with it as that was our primary heat source in the early 80's. Nasty stuff to burn but at the time it was free for the taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 624 #9 Posted May 20, 2014 And my Grandad used to cut firewood & wooden posts with his Farmall H belt driving a stationary circular saw -- I must have been 12-15 years old when I was helping him -- Damn the memory of that thing is still scary -- No gaurds; open 24 inch blade buzzing around -- Geez!!! -- Give me a chain saw any day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
