That looks very interesting. Do you use your foot as well?

 

That's the idea, dad was struggling with muscle pain in is arm using the handle all the time so a bit of pressure using the foot pedal helps relieve the arm.

A simple idea that we use to cut shorter logs.

They sound like great mods Billhook but we need pictures

 

Ok you asked for it!

Guarantee cure for insomnia looking at these pictures, but the mods make a great difference for me as I age.

 

The first is a load of 8x8 about 15 feet long cut from a massive Ash with the Lucas Mill. It was knotty and verging on rotten in places but the main thing was that I did all the lifting with the teleporter, no splitting or carrying.

I am sorry that I do not seem to be able to load more than one photo at a time from the iphone

 

This is a frame I welded together with rollers from a boat trailer to take the logs and it makes it easy to slide them sideways to the rollers on the Palax Combi

[Billhook]

The logs are picked up with the teleporter and tilted so it is easy to slip them one at a time onto the roller frame

[Billhook]

Once on the Palax they are too long so I cut them in half with the chainsaw, leaving one half on the rollers

I fitted a three phase motor and mounted a switch within easy reach for work in the yard. The three point linkage and pro are unaffected and are interchangeable without dismantling for work outside.

I also fitted a drawbar and wheels for towing behind a car

[Billhook]

I found knotty and bent branches might fall sideways into the hopper and would jam on the knife after the auto trip triggered the ram so I made a foot pedal (galvanised tube) override. Also I made a T handle to make the removal of the knife easier

Here also is one of the road wheels removed

Winch for lifting the elevator

And the final result is a box of 18 inch 8x8 which fit exactly into the 650 Cleaview
