53rd first time he’s slept in, in years.
Nah I get a few hours out of a chain normally run through two in six hours.
hmm, i dont feel so bad about my grinding now. i do feel like i got longer from a filed chain though. i have figured out i am not taking rakers down often enough. i used to to file them every other file but i guess i am taking more off with the grinder or i am grinding more often than i filed.
sand around here. when you get in it you know. cant keep a chain longer than a few trees. usually on field edges.
lol, welcome to my world
for fire wood and landing saws, i wouldnt run square any way. a round chain can be made to cut well, its just never going to be as effortless as square at the stump. the stump is different, different density different grain. even tulip can be hard 12" up from the ground even though the top is butter.
1000 will screw some stuff up in a hurry if the attachment wasn’t designed for it.
I keep slowly making the chain more and more aggressive I’ll sacrifice some durability for speed thats smooth. Rakers I do normally every grind I’ll normally take around 5 thousands off sometimes more depending on what I’m cutting and which saw I’m using. If it’s the little pos 462 with a 28 the chain isn’t very aggressive and the rakers look like they should be for a 026.
Those two speeds are for specific implements. Larger tractors built from the late 1960's on often had two PTO shafts, one for each speed. Usually, the PTO shafts are different sizes.
Many compact tractors now have two PTO selectable speeds for their single PTO shaft. Commonly called 540 and 540E (for economy). They're not intended to give different speeds at the PTO shaft, but rather are for running the engine at different Rpm's while outputing 540 rpm at the PTO shaft. My Branson 4020R will run the PTO shaft at 790 RPM if you run the engine at the 'normal' speed required for 540 RPM at the PTO shaft (2400-ish IIRC). When set for 540E (790), the PTO shaft will run at 540 RPM with the engine running about 1800-ish RPM. The tach has both RPM set points marked (to get 540 at the shaft in each PTO setting). Good for running smaller or low load implements like spreaders or smaller tillers or mowers (than what that tractor is capable of running). I use 540E with my flail mower and tiller when the loads are light.
Good. I would expect that from you.
I reset my rakers every time.
The extra time upfront works for me.
Teach me Dessert Ironwood.
We're talking about ironwood, not Roberte's genetically modified nipples.

Are you lonely?Anybody see Bessie
idk where i would run her in high pto, no marks on the tach. shes about in the late 70s. i have noriced it has almost as much torque at half throttle, but that 7.5' cutter aint gonna work with the engine turning slow. i wouldnt think? i know what she will do, pull the front wheels off the ground at idle. found that out with the back blade. needs front weights, hens teeth around here. maybe i will get lucky one day, prolly be cheap if i do find um.
