Hud-Son Chainsaw Log Debarker- setting up

I got me a Hun-Son Chainsaw Log Debarker for making log benches which I'd like to set in relaxing peaceful places around the property. I might even be willing to sell them if people are interested. This is an amazing attachment. IT WORKS!!!

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.

Interesting! What brand is yours? You can use whatever length bar and chain on the Hudson. I like the it a bit longer so you don't have to bend over- you can just stand in a comfortable position.

[@2299jsimon]

That works great...

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

Indeed it does!!

[@williamshaven8289]

Works for shaping saddles when building a log cabin.

be a great stump grinder for small stuff too

Thats what she said

I have this but my chain keeps coming loose and then my debarker hops not sure what more to do to try and fix this anyone have suggestions?

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

Tighten the chain?

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

Also, it comes with 2 different sprockets. Maybe try the other one?..

[@bobcook2545]

Looks like there would be a way to mount a roller system on the bar that you could rest the weight on and tilt the cutter into the job.

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

That's not a bad idea!

Thought is good! Doubtful superiority! Ax faster!

You're not kidding! This thing makes the chips!!

[@claytonsimplot9554]

Wouldn't a shorter bar be better? The weight of the debarker would be closer to the motor.

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

It could be better. The logs I debark are on the ground so the longer bar works for me. If they were up on something then a shorter bar would work better- and better balanced.

[@arboristBlairGlenn]

Slow motion makes it seem really slow.

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

Yeah, Im glad it doesn't run that slow. That would take forever to debark a log :)

Want One to debark logs for my sawmill

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

You could do it but it might not be worth the amount of work it would take for that. It would make it nice sawing logs though!

WHY WOULD YOU THRO THE BROKEN BIT JUST GRIND IT DOWN SOME AND RESHARPEN IT?

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

I guess I was just a bit frustrated breaking a new expensive bit on the first use. Good idea though.

@@josephbohme7917 it was supposed to be for hardened steel. I think I went too fast and didnt lubricate it the first time. Impatience is not helpful

[@puropadre]

Haha! I’ve gone through two new cobalt bits drilling 1 1/2 holes. One more bit should do it…hopefully.

hey man i suggest doing a "little" advertising for this channel on youtube you can't let this good content be watch by 10 ppls and liked by only 1 dont rely on the old viewer demographic to navigate there way from the other channel to this one

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

Thank you for the compliment. Any suggestions?

[@thanks3150]

​@@gotwoodinhead6814 i have no experience on this but i have seen a lot of channels that did advertising on google adsense the commercial is a video that mentions your history on youtube what you did "the survival and bug out challenge", taking care of the land and chilling, primitive sh!t, and give a joke about your africans kids + the love of logs and smooth rocks. ; )

[@gotwoodinhead6814]

@@thanks3150 I see what you're saying. As you probably know, I tried including videos on my current topics onto my Gotrocksinhead audience and it didn't work. That is a different demographic that, for the most part, didnt appreciate tree cutting, bulldozers and such. Thats why I started my new channel. That's what I do now, its my current life. I am curious to see what happens starting a new channel from scratch. I do wish I had content for gotrocks but I just dont anymore, mostly. If I do Ill post it there but i want to put my efforts on a channeI I can consistently put up descent material.
