    I use the trunk lid off an old volkswagen - also good for hauling big stones, gravel, mixing cement in. Doesn't have to be Volkswagen - just need an upcurve in the front - punch a hole through for the chain. Been using mine for 30+ years and it is still going strong. Btw that is a dangerous tree to whack on. If a junk of dead top comes off you can't get out of the way quick enough. I like a falling bar and favor one side of the back cut to make the tree spin to one side to roll off the other tree.

      Dear SGTDuckButter, That is a valid concern. Selling an item before acquiring another might be a good way to soften the shock of another toy, and if we are being honest with ourselves, are we really going to use that old boat in the back 40 covered with dust and weeds? I suggest you secretly sell your boat/snowmobile and put the newly acquired bulldozer back in the newly vacant spot. With any luck, she won't even notice! If she asks what happened to the boat/snowmobile, just tell her "what boat/snowmobile? The bulldozer has always been there." Good luck

  • @TheOldManAndTheSaw
    @TheOldManAndTheSaw Рік тому

    Good information. Food for thought to make your milling life easier; the Woodland Mills log rests/ back stops are very poorly thought out. As you know, they can bite into, and stop, a log you're trying to rotate. Others have mounted ball bearings to the top to reduce the biting. Others have gone an even cheaper route by slipping a length of PVC pipe over the stops when it's time to rotate. Gotta give you credit for milling in the dark. Dave

    I'm looking at buying one. Looks perfect! I just googled this and Tractordata said 3000ft/minute, and then found your video. Not quite accurate! How it it for pushing over 2-6" pine trees? Can the rear pro run a bush hog? Thanks for the video!

    • @gotwoodinhead6814
      @gotwoodinhead6814 Рік тому

      It has a lot of push. 2 inch is fine, 6 inch maybe. Don't push at the base. Push as high as you can for leverage. Mine doesn' t have a pto unfortunately so I don't know about pto driven equipment. I think you'd be better off with a tractor for a brush hog. You'd have to find one with a 3-point hitch and they didn't all have that as it was optional. It will pull pretty much anything. It is amazingly powerful for such a small machine. I have found that a small tractor with a box blade can do more than the bulldozer as far as grading dry hard dirt. The blade won't dig in hard pack. you need rippers to tear it up first. Overall, I love my 420 but it does have limitations. It's not a big bulldozer so you can't expect it to do what a large one will. Still they are fun, powerful and can do a lot of work. On the other hand, parts are getting harder to find. They are antiques :) Good luck and thanks. I'd love to hear how it works out for you.

  • @moepow8160
    @moepow8160 Рік тому

    There's one out there that mounts without the bar, you have to remove the bar, no big deal, and it's much shorter, easier to use and no chain that could be dangerous even if you grind down the chain. It's belt driven. I like this because when a jam happens the belt slips. It also looks like you could drive other homemade gadgets to the belt pulley. It comes with accessories for Stihl & Husqvarna, clutch housing, bolts, washers, extra double sided blades, etc... It worked just as well. I'm going to install two adjustable feet at the bottom, like the ones on snowblower for gravel driveways, to adjust the depth for thick & thin bark. Either one makes the job much easier.

      It does make a mess. Especially if there's a lot of pitch in the wood. It gets all over your legs. It takes a bit of practice to use it smoothly. It will remove a lot of wood fast if you're not careful! Does yours operate the same as the Hudson?
