OK, I think Ill leave it alone. Are there any manufacturers that make a Portable Gas Powered Buzzsaw to cut up Firewood??? Something like a large electric Mitre Box only gas Powered.

smark,

Make youself a sturdy saw buck, big enough to stack a bunch of small diameter logs and branches in, and the right width so your chain saw can reach across the stack to cut into fire place lenghts. Then put the buss saw in the shed as a conversation piece.

Those cordwood saws are too slow, use too much fuel (why use a 30 or 40 hp engine to do what a chain saw will do)and are too dangerous.

My Ford tractor runs at 900 rpm sawing cord wood.The saw is fully guarded.pto shaft driven.It is not slow if kept sharp.Using a chain saw to saw wood into stove length wears the chain and bar at a much faster rate.A chain saw is the most dangerous tool you can use.Kick backs cut chins ,knees,necks, chins, you name it ,its been cut.I talked to a fellow who cut his belly with a chain saw, had to put his guts back in and drive to the hospital.Ive cut wood both ways in the last 50 years.The cord wood saw is the safer way.Also have sawed wood with a 2 man saw and a bow saw.I know plenty of fellows that have been cut with a chain saw, none with a circular cordwood saw.The new chain saws are safer with chain brakes.Homelite still sells saws without chain brakes.Plus you always have the danger of a broken chain lashing back at your hand.

Hey Tim B,

I run my buzz rig with my little 30hp Deutz diesel, would you want to make a bet on your statement that it cost more to run than a chainsaw doing the same work???

I saw the slabs that come off my sawmill with mine, and when you add up all the cost, it cost less to run than a chainsaw. I don't think it's more dangerous either, both are only as safe as the operator.

Tim,

To make a buzz saw effecient you need at least 3 people to work it. Can you cut more wood with a chain saw. Dont know. I cut the big logs, the ones that needed split with my chain saw. The smaller ones I cut with the buzz saw. We had several different power scources for the saw over the years.

Starting with the F-12,then a TE-20 and a TO-30,A Farmall M and a Farmall 300. Also used a Cockshutt 30 at times.
