Thank you. My wife thought of it when we were trying to come up with a name and I agree I think it’s perfect. Thank you.

Yeah I have looked at them before but it was hard to find much information about them. I will be doing more in depth videos.

So far I am impressed with it. I will be running some long cut black locust through it today and then of my back cooperates I’ll get a video with some full sized hardwood logs tomorrow. Thanks for watching have a great day.

Yes I did and yes it is. Also still safe as the blade is well within the guard. Thank you. Keep up the good work as well.

Time will tell. I finally got to run some logs through it and I have to say not bad! I’ll try to get it edited and published. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

Thanks. I think it is going to be pretty awesome too. Have a good day.

Thank you. I have a long ways to go but it seems to be an always evolving process. Have a great night.

I will eventually have some slab wood when I mill up my new trailer deck boards. Whole logs and some long cut black locust splits are up next. Thanks for watching!

I think it is going to be pretty awesome too. I’ll definitely be bringing more videos with it making firewood, smoker chunks, etc.

Yeah I know they used to be more popular but I also know there were a lot of injuries with older style saws. I think this style is pretty safe and will come in handy. Time will tell. Thanks for commenting and have a good day.

Thank you. I too have used a mitre saw in the past but this will definitely come in handy. I think I am really going to like it!

I think you may change your mind when I make firewood rounds with it which is the main reason I bought it. Time will tell if it was money well spent or a waste. I don’t often buy long cut wood just had some on hand and a new saw so it made sense to try it out. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

Exactly what I was thinking Red Dawg.

Thanks for the input. It is definitely faster than my chainsaws. Definitely looking forward to seeing what it can do. So far it seems pretty safe to operate. The blade is set behind the guard further than it looks in the video.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors NO PROBLEM, I just see a lot off worker and myself get hurt in the big logging world . Went you work from sun up to sun down , get pay for timber on the ground . Just a word think safety and safety first ( big chainsaw jump fast them the eyes . )

Tony, I thought you would like it. I too wanted a stand alone gas model but they do not make the Samurai with a gas engine (however I do not think it would be hard to convert). I bought it from Eastern Farm Machinery near Guelph Ontario about 2 hours from me. It is a carbide tipped blade. He said it can be re sharpened, not sure if they do it or not. He said he only sells about 1 blade for every 30 machines or so, they are quite durable. Not sure on the repair of you hot metal. I will obviously be doing more in depth videos with it. I too have been looking at them for a while but was nervous because like you said there is very little out there about them. I saw the lumber capital video also looking for content on them. This saw cost me just over $2,800usd out the door and he does ship. It is the same person who is selling them on eBay but you get a much better price buying in person or direct over the phone.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Heath thanks for sharing the info. These units seem very popular in Europe. Looking forward to you using it more on your channel. Be safe

Will do Tony. I found the same thing, they seem to be popular over seas but not here in the US. I’ll definitely be featuring it in upcoming videos and putting it through its paces with different types of wood and tasks. You scared me the other day with the hidden 3pt implement lol I thought, no it can’t be lol. I was relieved when it was a tiller. I planned on doing a video shortly making smoker chips with my Wallenstein chipper and Ohio Wood Burner just released a similar video.

Yeah the hookaroon didn’t work great for the splits. I use it to pull rounds out and it works good for that but the splits were a little small for it. Thanks for watching have a great day.

I do not have any slab wood right now but will eventually. Planning on running some logs through it soon. I’ll get it posted up so people can see how it works for full size rounds.

Not yet but I can put one up eventually. Anything specific you are looking for?

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors just what the inside looks like blade area and drive system . How it swings back and forth . Looks like a well built unit

I will get one up eventually. Been crazy busy lately. Need to get some editing done.

I drove over to the dealership and picked it up. I didn’t have any issues crossing the border since it was for personal use.

Absolutely not. They are down in our personal stash. Thanks for watching.

Guess you’ll have to wait and see. I’m hopeful but haven’t been able to put it through its paces yet with my tweaked back. I definitely plan on seeing what this saw can do. I will not be cutting down much split wood like that but had some long cut, had a new saw, and a chance to make a sore back friendly video. Cutting logs will be my main use 🤞🏻that it works like I hope.

My standard cut prices are 12” long to 18” long with the vast majority being 14.5”-16.5” long. I tell customers who say 18” is to long to buy sawzall and cut them themselves. OR we’ll custom cut them short at an additional cost.

Yeah I shoot for 16” but there’s a tolerance for sure.

I didn’t cut it. And I have a new splitter on order. Just cleaning up the yard.

Love running that saw!

Thank you. So far I have been really impressed with it.
