Ive got a tractor mounted Buzz saw also. Bought it at a sale just to get the blade. I dont know what it fit on, it might have ben a rear mounted saw for alla me. Ive gotthe Buzz saw my Grandad bought mydad for a wedding present. Ive also got the overstuf set my grandmom, bought my momfor her wedding present, circi 1940. The saw was made in Hillsboro Kans. It is a Stationary saw and I use a 25ft belt on it. I use my 1934 CC Case on it as it has a faster rpm than my 1937 F-30 Farmall. You will have to split big wood with wedges and sledges. Also if you have a heavy jack handy they are useul for both splitting and for holding a split as you work your wayup the tree splitting it. You need for your off bearer to know to NEVER pull towards him the log except if it is cut off. The reason is youll b cutting so fast that you might sling the log towards your right and push, and your off bearer pull it and put your right hand where the blade cuts. He can help pull, but when its set up to cut, neither of you pull. If you can pull it yourself make sure he knows not to help. next, youll need the man on the end to know hand directions. He will need to move with the tree forward at the same speed as you are cutting it. He may need to raise or lower the tree in order to keep the tree flat as possible on the table. Also he may need to help turn it over. He will need hand signals in order to do this. Make sure your off bearer stands on clean ground ar the blade, and always keep an eye and 1/2 your mind on him, be ready to knock him back if you see him make a slip of any kind. My 10yr old boy was my off bearer 15yrs ago and my wife and my 11 yr old daughter brought up and held the logs I cut. If you drink, sell it to sombody who wants it but dosent drink. Many many people lost arms and lives cause they used a warm me up in the winter and slipped and lost an arm and maybe there life. I knew of one, and probably anybody in this room who as actually used one will tell you they know of sombody like that too. Be careful. You cant be careful enough. Finally tell yourself, Is it really worth it? I mean almost everybody in here who answered ya said the same thing. STAY AWAY FROM IT. I dont know how old you are, but if your 30 or under, you may not have the mentality to absorb the dangers involvd in running it as today, all dangers are taken away as much as possible. Take care.
