It has used on average 1/3 less wood a season. Fire it just once a day depending on weather. Here are a couple of pics of wood.

augercreek Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The Chalmers has a new hood on it now as I had a tree fall on it and bent it up beyond fixing. So, the whole machine got a new paint job and a new name! FARMALLIS ! I built it using two F12 rearends and a WC Allis engine transmission. All hydraulic steering, winch, and blade. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomH Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 According to your sign it has to stay in the shed! Rear and front PTO's! That is really nice, can you build me one?! That is just plain old American ingenuity right there. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice machine, looks well done. I like the way you are storing your wood too. Do you have a Machinist back ground or self taught? I have a 47 WC that I ran a rock crusher with for a few years back when, now it's my chipper machine. They are good engines. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show us your set ups for cutting splitting and burning. I have a friend in the tree business I buy fire wood from him because I like to support my friends and family I do harvest the dead falls on my property here is a pic of some I brought from the back of my pasture this spring Spilt by hand I really need to get a 3pt splitter I am getting to old to swing the maul all day As you tumble head first into that cab and struggle to untangle your legs do you question how it ever got past approval? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowrosefarm Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Here is my current set up. Not exactly fuel efficient, but maybe it will help all of us cut down on heating days🙃 I cut the blocks off while the log is on the loader, lift the ones I can onto the splitter and use the tongs on the other tractor to lift the bigger blocks. The floor on the silage wagon still works, so I unload with that. "The conveyor I found many years ago when I went to buy something else. It had sat in the same place at least 50 years according to the guy that grew up there. I had to cut 3 trees out of it to move it. Amazingly, the only rust was under the front where it was on the ground and a half dozen chain links. I took off the cable and crank and put a hydraulic hand pump on it. The briggs engine came off an old tiller that my neighbor was throwing away. Pretty much everything I have is something someone else gave up on for junk. But you guys have probably figured that out by now. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just Dave Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 The big chunks give an amazing amount of splits from 1 piece. Loaded with a crane, set on deck with a grapple bucket, rolled in with a custom made real big cant hook and yields the better part of a rick. Plastic bins hold the splits going in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
