i have the older version WP835 and i have the same saw but MS462CM. Im curious how you mounted your saw to the Pivot arm since the chain saw blade cover has fixed bolts built into it. it makes it impossible to mount the two Bar mounting studs off the arm to the chain saw studs. Did you just remove the fixed nuts on the cover ? any help or info would be appreciated.

@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm Жыл бұрын

I believe my father had ground down the retaining ears on the captive nuts to allow for removal. I’ll ask him to make sure but I believe that was it. Thanks for watching!

@thefirewooddoctor 2 жыл бұрын

If only this type of processor where it uses your chainsaw came with a log lift instead of a winch feed. I'd get one of those. The 661 smokes the other saw you were using. How does using the 661 compare to the other saw you were using in production speed?

@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm 2 жыл бұрын

I tell ya in my opinion the winch is way more convenient than having a log lift! It also allows for more versatility in the woods by being able to bring the logs to it rather than having a tractor to bring them to the loader. The 661 cuts great, I’d say it cut a few seconds off each cut using it Vs the 361. The 361 however is still plenty of saw for this application but the 661 helps increase production! Thanks for watching 🤠

@thefirewooddoctor 2 жыл бұрын

@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm, when I say a log lift would be better for me am saying it from the perspective of using it in my woodyard. With the 8ft logs available to me through the log suppliers that would make more sense for me. Now if had someone always helping me to run the winch cable for me, the winch models would be just fine.

@ricksanchez7459 Жыл бұрын

Does dragging the logs fill the bark with dirt? Looks like it would dull a chain quick.

@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm Жыл бұрын

It definitely could but In reality it’s minimized by using it at this staging area and only a short distance. A log will inevitably be drug unless carried out in a grapple then cut off the ground. This processor works very efficiently and has really increased our wood production. Haven’t noticed an issue with the chains dulling more frequently. Thanks for watching, take care!

Does your hydraulic tank have a sight glass Where do set the length indicates right on 16inches or before

@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it has a sight glass below the area where the chainsaw cuts through the log, we usually cut at 16” or 18”. We burn this wood in outdoor boilers so the length and thickness of split are never to crucial! Thanks for watching 🤠

It’s a heavy hinged weight to help secure the short logs while cutting.

@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm Жыл бұрын

It really is an awesome machine, I think it will be right around that! It is competitive in price with other commercial splitters, may not cycle as fast but as far as the whole process I would almost guarantee it’s faster than someone bucking logs handling them to the splitter the throwing them in a trailer!

When was this video filmed? Whats all that greenish stuff on the ground? I'll be glad once the warmer temps get here. I live in NE Ohio and we had 1 day where all the snow melted and we were able to see grass. By the time I woke up the next day it was covered again. But the next few days should be warm enough to melt it all again. That's a really nice back saving processor. Do you burn those large chunks as they are or split them down again? It's so hard to figure out what the right piece of equipment is for a specific operation. I decided to purchase a commercial splitter with the log lift and adjustable wedge. I don't have much issues with my back bucking up logs on the ground, not yet at least.

@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Jeff! This was last weekend, we are really looking forward to warmer weather haha. We have outdoor boilers so splitting them isn’t really a concern.
