[AT] Firewood cutting (MM UTU)

[Mike 1countryguy]

This topic caught my interest from many years ago.  My dad used a minni mo UTU with the buzz saw mounted on the front of the tractor and a flat belt.

It took several men to make good time and cut a lot of wood.  Dad ran the saw and the table.  Two or three other brothers brought the wood to the saw and a very steady person stood at the cutoff side of the saw and threw the cut wood into a truck before it hit the ground.

In later years, i modified the buzz saw to mount on the two pt AC D-14 and ran it with a pto.  I still have the buzz saw and if enough guys showed up it would be efficient, other wise a power saw is quicker for the wood that is to big to fit in my wood processor.

Now, I am much smarter (and older) so moved up to a bigger tractor MM670 super and a Block buster wood processor and a loader.  

I guess I should get around to taking some pictures of both or maybe even a video..will put that on my thing of shop "to do" list.
