Great job mate, it was really informative. Were there 4th generation Huskies then?

Stihl made 05#s & 07#s

motorsage is actually German for power saw - no chain in that (kette)

Bigshot and a lewis winch

Does 40:1 have any negative effects? I assume better oiling of the motor?

I like this can

Great video! Thanks so much man!

Make sure you’re running the tractor at 540 RPM’s and the rear of the cutter needs to be higher than the front to allow for discharge. Great video for a beginner.

Very nice and informative video just one little mistake I noticed. The MS 180 is not a professional saw, the smallest Pro-saw is the MS 201. And you forgot the letter W, which stands for heated handles or my favorite MS261CM-VW VW means heated handles and heated carb. Greetings from Austria

That 372 chain is full as can be!

Can you tell me why somebody would want to use this set up instead of a zero turn lawnmower on a piece of land like you're cutting? I just had a Kabota tractor with this brush hog passed down to me. I have a lot of grass to cut. The Kabota came with the backhoe the rotor tiller the brush hog mower deck and the box grader. I haven't tried anything on my yard yet but I'm considering trading this set up in for a nice 72 inch zero turn lawnmower. Can you offer any advice?

Excellent 👍

I appreciate your need for perfection, but in all honesty, cutting the tubing at 45 degree angles is not only extra work but it’s also overkill. Welding the tubing on top of the other pieces will hold anything that you put on the lift table. Also using the mig welder will hold it just fine, especially if you’re going to bevel for the extra penetration. I’m not criticizing at all. I’ve been welding my whole life. Just retired two years ago. You do very nice work. Just trying to save you or your viewers some time and without losing any safety or strength issues. I enjoyed watching your work. Thank you for sharing and explaining what you are doing. ✌️👍🇺🇸

Well done basic video👍 Yeah, the model numbers get close to displacement but not exact. My 385XP is actually 84.7cc.

Is there an updated video of the build?

Special can also denote a higher performance version. For example, the 365 special is a professional saw with a closed port cylinder for more power versus the 365.

Fantastic review! Thank you for sharing. It gave answers to all my questions.

Sorry I didn';t say the Jonsered model is 16" = 2040.

Hi whatdya say there buddy I'm an engineer in the UK and have a question that hard to get an answer to! My pal a prof welder has asked me to relace the broken drive gear that is bronze welded to the clutch drum. I see this Jonsered 16" saw is part of the Husqvarna group. It has a 3/8 pitch -7 teeth sprocket. I measured the ID of the drum which is 63.8mm. I have not been able to get any suppliers to confirm what their inside diameters of the drums are. It seems inputting Jonsered into the net to get anywhere but Husqvarna 36 and 41 has the same data re pitch and 7 teeth but no diameter is stated. All the Chinese supplyers say make sure you check that the ordered item is correct & yet they do not seen to have a measure of more accurately a vernier!!! OMG /Jesus wept. Please can you say if the drum for the saw I state Husq is 63.8mm ID?

Have you ever thought of getting a battery powered leaf blower to clean out some of that ash?

That saw runs liked a raped ape….

Well done, you know your stuff

It's technically a stove. Boilers are pressurized. This stove operates under atmospheric pressure. Are you pleased with your reaction chamber percentages?

Burn less wood BUT MORE PREP DRY STORAGE MUCH MORE MAINTENANCE EXPENSIVE CONTROLLER WHAT IS YOUR TIME WORTH ?

They actually have a burner you can add to the boiler that run on propane for a backup, definitely a great option for a backup plan.

I like keeping that sweat going. Good for the soul. Lol 😂 👍🏼

Dude, like alot of crap you buy it hasn't been fully thought through and we suffer by learning "the hard way". So much creosote in the gasification boilers. This tells me you have incomplete combustion. Same as a car with dirty exhaust, like in the 80's. I had exactly the same issue in my 2019 old school non-gasification Heatmor cx450. Since i got it i have cursed Heatmor over the POS and the nightmare cleaning is/was. I had to clean it almost monthly with the creosote so thick I had to beat on my cleaning bar with a 10lb. sledge to get it down each of the ten (10) flue tubes. Not cool. This last fall i stopped by the dealer and they apparently FORGOT to give me a part when it was installed. They gave me a reducer insert for the front fan, but not the back fan. It reduces the hole from about 3 inches to about 1 1/2 inches. Duh! Same principle as a jet engine.... compress the air through a hole and it will come out faster the other side. I went out last week after 2 1/2 months and i easily pushed my cleaning tool down the flue tubes. Also, it wasn't a gooey, orange tinted, crusty pile of shit. There was only very fine grey ash. And in the ash collector at the bottom of the boiler, there was virtually nothing compared to the 5 gallon pail i normally took out. Obviously the firebox burns hotter now and there is less creosote and ash buildup. I'm thinking for yours it may be the same type of problem. A design flaw. An idea worth investigating.

Wondering if a boiler brush would be best for cleaning those tubes. Are you stii satisfied with the boiler? Looking at one of these to heat our house and garage

You should have hooked higher up on the tree. ....

Hi my name is rudy can you send company part #dump valve plise thanks

I came here for your log splitter build and I know life gets in the way hopefully you will be able to update us on the splitter some day I noticed it’s been a year but logger wade came back maybe you will be able to do the same.

I read that stihl used Cubic inch rather than cubic centimeter. The first two numbers are that Cubic inch. Ms 170 being 17 Cubic inch, which can convert to cc with a calculator. Also, they flipped the numbers...an older 028 is now a 280 etc

Looks like a modified serpentine belt tool

Great video. Thank you. I'm just building my wood stores and this has helped me massively. Do I just stack rows with few inches gap? Also logs loosely stacked on top of eachother or tightly stacked? Suppose they'll be under cover so no need to be pedantic about stacking face up or bark down etc?

I have a lot of experience in hydraulics and machinery. My 40 year old wood splitter I bought from my friend who retired to AZ. It has a 5 X 36 CAT cylinder, trunion mount. The push plate and wedge is similar to yours. I replaced the 12 hp briggs with 15 hp duromax with elect start. The reservoir is similar to yours, thin and tall with lots of surface and little cavitation. A single spool valve with relief with no press, actuated shifts. The gear pump probably from a back hoe, is driven by a jack shaft with about a 3;1 ratio to slow it down to the recommended pump speed. I get my hydraulics from Surplus Center in NE. I see a lot of videos on TH-cam about wood splitters and my biggest concern is safety. They show kids and women operating or helping to load the splitter. Thirty ton is sixty thousand pounds! If there is a knot or any obstruction in the split, the round will explode. If your hand is anywhere near the wood, it will be swollen and purple tomorrow. Controls that are automatic are not safe when you have two people working. and can be a problem with only one because the stroke is going to happen regardless of where your hands are. Better to kill the engine or blow a hose rather than loose a finger or crush a hand. Iguana

New sub Enjoy your video I'll be watching again have a good day

Ironic that you have a "no trespassing" sign on your tractor. Technically, legally, the wood belongs to the landowner. The county has ONLY an easement. The property, UP TO THE CENTER LINE OF THE ROADWAY, belongs to the abutting landowners. The trees are the legal property of the landowner. They may not care. But apparently some care. I'm also not sure where you are, saw you wearing a U of M sweatshirt, so if you're in Michigan, there's a treble damages provision for theft of trees. Now the landowner may say the value in the trees was in veneer, or fancy lumber, and you'll be stuck with it. Best to ASK the actual owner of trees before you take them.

You to try the 592 husqvarna 😊

Where did you get the cly and size ??

How long is the stroke of the rod ?

COULD YOU HAVE GOTTEN THE DIFFERENTIAL FROM A SMALL CAR OR TRUCK. RUN THE DIFFERENTIAL BY THE TRACTORS PTO . ON ONE SIDE OF THE DIFF PUT THE CABLE REEL. ON THE OTHER SIDE PLACE A SIMPLE DRUM BRAKE . I SAW MANY OF THESE ON A PULP WOOD SALE ON THE SUPERIOR NF IN 1950 USED 25 HP WISCONSIN FOR POWER SOURCE. I WISH SOME BODY WHO HAS THE SKILL WOULD BUILD ONE. BY THE WAY THE SALE WAS FOR 25 years. CONTRACTOR WAS TOMAHAWK TIMBER COMPANY WISCONSON USA.

Thanks for mentioning if the new units will give you 50% more efficiency. All the marketing numbers are garbage unless someone actually verifies it.

can't wait for you to get back in the shop and show us the newer built wood splitter

No more log splitter.....?

What welder are you using?

Yeah, got one too. When new, it's a treat, but wait a year and the fuel nozzle will start sticking and the auto-stop feature becomes hassle instead of help.

Interesting. I have been using a homebuilt early 80s machine since I built it in the early 80s. It was pulled around with a Honda 200m ATC. It definately shares DNA with yours. Over the years, I have found that simple is best. Mine has had several pump/engine combos over the years. It started out fancy, a junked Cub Cadet provided a Kohler, starter/generator, a bunch of wire, switches and a gauge. All of that is long gone. It currently sports a 12 horse Kohler flathead with points and a "wrap a rope" starter. Once a year I clean the points. Fuel is gravity fed. Gravity never breaks. As far as lifts and tables and wings go, I stack up splits around the machine, usually a ramp on one side and a heap on the other. Roll the big rounds up the ramp, let the heap catch the half that falls. Just an old guy's two cents worth. Best wishes.

Buy a choker for the log Back the Tractor up its faster ,then have your son pull the winch cable back to the log pile you will heat the heck out of your winch otherwise , run your battery down just use the winch when you have too !

Holy crap! I love the check valve siphon trick!
