ottrageous wrote on Thursday, July 30, 2015 (PDT):This was the coolest implement of all, (& still is) man, you could whack an 18 in. log in 1/2, in about 10-15 seconds flat, the tractor motor would only groan a little bit, & the saw would sing out a merry ringing tone like a rooster crowing in the early morning! We had orchards & so lots of firewood. My dad would start that thing up in the early morning & it would wake me up. I was always fascinated with it, so he taught me how to use it before I was even a teenager, & I sawed literally TONS of cordwood with it over the years! (We used the wood to heat the house & barn & had a woodpile the size of a 2 car garage)(Incidently, you could build a great fort in a woodpile that size!) Never so much as nicked a finger on that implement either! But you could cut yer little sister in half before she could even say, "wait!", ......Never did that, even tho she pushed me to that point occasionally! Yep, this & the orchard mower were my favorites to operate, that thing could sling a good sized branch or a rock over a hundred yards, at breakneck speed! I remember many times when my dad was mowing near the barn & an object would come flying, spinning by! Ya learn real quick to stay out from behind the mower!
