That saw rig would come in handy when we are cutting up slab wood . We all like our firewood equipment but it takes alot of time to keep ‘em all in good working order

Battery grease gun wound make a great fathers day gift. Thanks for another great video

Yep. When will manufacturers learn that when they make a cover/guard difficult to remove for inspection/maintenance one of two things happen: Either the machine doesn't get maintained properly, or the user leaves the cover off....thus defeating the purpose of having it the first place. Both create safety issues. Thanks for the channel!

Maybe replace the bolts holding the guard down with wingbolts? Their like wingnuts but have a threaded stud instead of being a nut. Wouldn't need tools to take off/put on. And/or flexable zert extensions. Great video 😊

Giving the Strikehold a shot. I have Bobcat mounted snowblower to try it on and lots of other tools to test it on as well. Hope it performs as well as you make it sound! Always looking for a great lube. Super happy with Super Lube so far. Need a dry lube that holds up in the big snowblower.

We used to use a belt driven buzzsaw for making firewood back in the 1970’s. No better way to make use of the limb wood in my opinion! Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Hi Heath, have a great video you guys are doing great work and you know what you can also get steel lines or flexible grease lines to screw onto those grease bearings and run them up through the top and just pump them from there with a grease fitting. Saves time, not even have to make an access door. Also, the main thing if you’re handsome and handy makes everything better it keeps Rachel smiling. Cheers glad you’re feeling better.

I like your idea of making that cover easier to remove. Not only will you be able to grease all the bearings, but you can blow out or vacuum all the sawdust. Building up too much sawdust could be a fire hazard. Maybe you can replace the cover bolts with fixed studs and have large steel wing nuts? Buggy tops for tractors have extra large wing nuts, for example.

Hello Heath. I’ve ran heavy equipment with inaccessible grease points. The manufacturer routes a plastic tube from the point to a remote grease fitting for easy maintenance. I’m sure a Cat dealer could set you up.

Hello Heath nice sore I enjoyed the video I'm looking to find one of them Myself they Look Like a good Machine Keep the fingers out of there Stay safe Stay happy stay healthy we'll catch you on another one

One thing you could do so you didnt have to mess with making the door is to remove zerks and run tubing and mount the zerks up where they could be greased easily. i think that would be easier and look better than trying to cut a door

I would recommend just running some grease lines from those bearings under the panel and just put new grease zerks in an easy location. It would honestly be pretty easy and cheap to do.

Looks like a great saw. Sawed lots wood on buzz saw when I was younger. Looking into grease fitting relocation kit. It be lot cleaner looking then an access door. Keep up the good work.

Great video and fix up. I never knew it was hydraulic driven saw. Neat. Have a great weekend. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻

Very good. I found it. Thanks for you.

Put extension on the grease fits come in flex lines for grease Heath. 😊

The plastic slot blocking material might of been a good place to use brass fasteners which would probably be blade safe.

That is a nice saw. It is puzzling why some things are a bit cheap. I definitely like the pto hookup for power though.

I may have to research those saws. Would be handy for sawmill slabs.

Back in the old days my grandpa would drive the ‘ole Farmall over and hook the saw up so he and my dad could cut logs up. No guards at all! 😮 😂

That’s awesome I like that🤩

The saw is pretty cool concept, but I would hate to put the hours on my machine running it off of PTO does it seem to eat up much fuel running off the tractor?

You can put grease lines on your bearings even with bearings on a pivot and making service easily done

good video and job it would have cost very little to have fixed it right to start with and fixed a hingled door to grease it. most people will not grease bearing because they have to take cover off or be like me and leave cover off. nice fix take care, be safe and well.

I bought the balfor shark about 3 years ago. 2 months later I bought a processor. Barely used it. She’s for sale if anyone is looking.

Good morning from west Michigan

Hello Heath...do you know if that saw has an optional conveyor system available? I've seen videos of some foreign brand saws that do. Steve in PA

It's cool it runs off your tractor. Lots of folks who have worked with Table saws or Miter saws, know about this. Yeah, don't let that Samurai throw a chunk of wood at your face! ha More of a Ninja, myself! ;) Enjoy the jerry-rig, DIY, inventive aspect! End comment.

It has to be worth the time taking the cover off as you can eyeball the working parts hidden from view and could save you more than that time if you see something amiss requiring attention.

Hey Rachel, I think he maybe good for something!. Girl'll don't let him hurt himself. Take dat out his hands and do it right the first time.

Heath, why don't you just build an access cover that's held on by two long pins, like a draw pin which there's a hole drilled through it for a crevice pin to go through to hold that cover on. That way you can just pull the pins out and have the bolts like a pin used on a drawbar with the shank on one end that has the loop attached to it and just remove the clevis pins that go through the shank and pull the bolts out by the ring. Just like you would use on a drawbar. I don't know why they couldn't have used thicker steel for that roller assembly. That's good how you retrofitted the spacers in that channel. That way nothing gets stuck down in around the blade. I made out of actual old rolling pins a stand for my table saw to catch long pieces of like cutting 4x8 sheets of plywood, which worked great. Because you were making me nervous when you were cutting that wood at an angle with your hands with gloves on that close to the blade.On where you have to make the access door to get in and grease that shift. Just take and cut out that thin steel and put two hinges on the backside and rivet a ubolt on the front where you just have to pull the pin and the door will flip up and out of your way. Then just drop it back down slide your pin in and put your clevis back through the hole and you'll be good to go. There just simple but quick access and no problems with that access cover being integral with the rest of the machine. Yeah, definitely should have thought that out a little better. But o/w it really shouldn't have any plastic near that blade. Just make sure because I've seen enough guys get cut really quick on table saws. Just some thoughts. Retrofitting those guides in that channel was a great idea. It just has to be thought out a little better at the factory and you should point out what you did to get fast access to grease those Zirkle fittings and how much better that channel is now. Great job, when you do the rest I would like to see how it works. Just be really careful with that tablesaw blade. Yeah, you got it. Thanks for letting us see that machine and it's strengths and weaknesses.

👍👍

So where is the link to this lube?

Hi you can buy grease hoes to fit were the grease zert goes run up through your slot were your safe cable runs than put grease zirt on and grease it from there enjoy all your videos

Good morning Heath. Nice saw too bad it’s so poorly designed. The manufacturer could have added flexible grease lines to so you wouldn’t have to remove bolts and covers to lubricate all the bearings. I spent my working career doing industrial maintenance and saw poorly designed equipment like this one. Thanks for the video . Be safe

It is definitely fast

Interesting saw.

Great job on the fix Hector (?)! Maybe it's just my twisted mind, but the Samurai on that logo looks to be.....errr...ummm....shall we say...perhaps pretty popular among the ladies???🤔😳🫣🤭
