i think they're a superb idea we ran a borrowed one for about 6 months but never got over the cracked gullets I'd replace the pulleys with bigger ones, but tbh by the time you've done the mods I thought I'd be better with a tom sawyer or similar as I'm after a permanent set up, when working they do do the job, especially in larger hardwoods which is what I specialise in.

Hello twmarriot , do you think its mostly on the very wide cuts that they crack ?? as ive not used it yet for much big stuff apart from softer spalted beech , also do you think tooth angle could be the problem as i had problems with blade getting stuck in wide cuts and got my saw sharpeners to reduce angle of tooth ,,, since then it had the hydraulic motor replaced ,,

 

 

 

was it you looking for a tom sawyer ??,, if so theres one on aggriaffaires in france,, in combined saw/ splitter section and westtec also have a big 150 forrester

possibly we tend to do larger timbers, mainly oak and ash, but did some douglas too. we bought some new and stellite tipped blades which also cracked up, spoke to a few others who had similar problems and basically came to the conclusion that if the blades hadn't been prone to cracking then trekker would have put woodmizer out of business as if they'd have worked well then with a bed extension and non cracking blades I could have sawn well over 200-300 cube a day. cheers for the tom sawyer tip off i'll check it out...

the big 150 is a superb tool, and I'd certainly try to get one but theyre wanting nearly 30k for it!
