Yes, it is the rear axle from a fergie that we have used. It is held in place with 8 bolts. 2 At the rear pto, 4 at the fender mounts, and a bolt on each side where the pto lever usually is located. The pto shaft, hydraulic pump and cylinder was removed and replaced with coverplates. Internally we had to fabricate a pto output from the differential that is bolted to the front coverplate. 2 Pto shafts are used to transfer power from the trailer to the tractor. A wire crane is basically a boom with a winch that helps you lift the logs.

Weight is important, but a factor that is often overlooked is the vibration levels. Low vibrations is just as important as the weight of the saw. Like others have suggested, you should go with a 50cc saw. My weapon of choice is a Jonsered 2252. It weights 5 kg (0,1 kg more than the husky equivalent.) and has the lowest vibration levels in it's class.

The red trio. Jonsered 2172, 2252 and 2252.

Hey, the smallest bar that you can use on that saw is a 16" and the largest a 36". A 24" bar would most likely be ideal. when you are milling, make sure that your saw is tuned fat and that you let it idle for a min after each cut. The best result will be achieved with a chain that is filed at 10*. Take your time and let the saw do the work.

Here's my 1954 Ferguson TEA with a 3 ton winch mounted on the rear axle. The trailer is homemade, 3 ton capacity with pto drive and a wirecrane.

Looks like a Picea abies to me.

I'm using silky zubat 240 for pruning and sugoi 360 for scaring off burglers.

HVA 545/550 has perfect weight distribution with a 15" bar and plenty of power. Power wise between the two, theres not much of a difference. The 550 has had more trouble with the electronic carb than the 545. 545 Get's my vote.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Yup aspen and jonsered is the best

Hey i'm new on arbtalk, i saw this thread and wanted to share a picture of a spruce. The 25" bar only went through 2/3 of the tree. Unfortunately i don't have any pictures of the stump.
