Got out after dinner. Flushed off several stumps that I had made over the winter. Dragged one more balsam weed home and processed what I could.

Went to sharpen the 5020 chain as I had hit some stuff during stumping. Got about 3/4 done and my file was done. I’ll get a few new files on Friday and finish it up.

It was close to 50 all day but snowing to beat the band now.

James, looks like Steve has you hooked up on the chain. If I find any I'll get your address and send them to you for spares. I don't have many saws that small.
I don't have a 16" 3/8 bar for anything either. Guess I'll grab one for the 590 if I'm gona play with square wood chains.

Nice work, nice the state lets you burn weed without a permit :cool: :lol:.
I cut a couple flat today, they're weeds too, black locust. Hot and long burning weeds.
Biggest locust I've ever cut.
Doesn't look big in the picture, the one on the right was around 14-16.

Here's the butt log, that was all the higher the bota wanted to lift it unless I bounced it up a bit.

Dropped it with the 440 and a 28, glad I did as the 24 on the 2166 barely made it thru over-cutting it when I cleaned the stumps up.

Finally got the 066 vid to open! Looks and sounds good bouncing around on that table, but I want to see it eating some wood!

When I built the Asian Twins (near identical Cross 660 P+Cs) I did different muffler mods to them. The one that sounded meaner and spooled up quicker had far less torque in the wood. I made up another muffler like was on the first one and all was good again! That saw was so strong I wanted to keep it, but the buyer came over and stuck money in my hand and it went away! (It was fair, I had agreed to build it for him).

In the wood is where it counts!

I noticed my loader specs give the lift capacity at a 2 foot bucket pin height. I figured that meant it diminishes after that, your pic seems to support that.

It surely goes down as you want it to go up lol.
I picked that one up in a bit of a low spot and the grade on the other side probably helped me to get the bucket tilted back and up in the air a bit. Once it's in the air my little bota does pretty good with the skidding with and the loaded tires, but without the winch the tail is always in the air, it was a little light back there with this log on the forks.

Does it have a counterweight in the rear? Sounds like it doesn’t.
Not when I remove the skidding winch.
The rear tires are filled with rim guard for ballast, but it's very light in the back.
I like to say the tractor has guts, but no butt.
It is a great tractor and I'm very thankful to have it though :yes:.

I do, but I already have a new one and a ported one, besides I prefer the all orange versions ;).
We'll talk though.

Oh, your bar is on upside-down :innocent: :laughing:.
