Millers Falls Swing Saw - 2021 #33

[@bigbird130]

Looks like a great purchase. Should come in very handy.

Hi Steve, yep really happy with it. As my videos are so far behind I’ve had it over a year now and it’s been great. I have a lot of smaller diameter stuff and this helps to process it quickly. Thanks for watching.

[@Party-Marty]

Just looked again at this vid - you were in my neck of the woods 😁 Wow, the saw looked hardly used 😮.

[@TheRuralProject]

Hey Marty, I was out towards Traralgon, bit of a trek to get it, but they are not often for sale, I think I got a bargain. It was in great condition, a farmer who had used it for cutting up fence posts but was selling all his farm equipment as he was retiring. Are you thinking of getting one ?

[@Party-Marty]

@@TheRuralProject I’m not looking at one. We’re in Newborough - 25mins before Traralgon 👍 Every time we go to my in-laws we travel thru that power station.

Our buzzsaw at the ranch in Montana was powered by a four-cylinder International tractor motor. Good sized swing table and rotating weight for added umpfh on big stuff. We cut a lot of wood with it.

[@TheRuralProject]

sounds like a beast, makes my swing saw seem like a toy. I like the idea of some weights to give the blade some extra grunt

[@robertodebeers2551]

Yes, the counter weight really helped. I also had a small buzzsaw that I ran on the back of a Ford 2000 tractor, which had no counterweight and would pull the tractor engine down when sawing dry fir. Good luck, and work safe. @@TheRuralProject

That’s crazy to see you driving passed loy yang!! That’s where I work 😱

[@TheRuralProject]

Ha ha, that’s funny. It’s a eye catching location, that was the first time I’ve ever been so close to it. and it’s huge. Thanks for watching

[@scottmcdermott7351]

@@TheRuralProject yeah she’s a big joint that’s for sure, love the vids mate 👌

[@TheRuralProject]

@@scottmcdermott7351 thanks so much, they take a bit of work to record and edit so it’s nice to get positive feedback.

[@Ants_Pants]

Very nice

[@TheRuralProject]

Hi Ants Pants, thanks for watching and positive comments. Its a great tool for the smaller straight limbs.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Looks like a good tool to me. For the smaller stuff it would seem to be better than the Chainsaw

[@TheRuralProject]

Hey Daniel, yes it’s awesome on the small stuff, you can really blast through the logs and no more touching the ground and blunting the chain.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

that will be great for the smaller limbs, now you have me thinking I need one,

[@TheRuralProject]

Hey Joey, that’s right, you don’t want one, you need one. Now you just have to convince Kris. 😀

[@TheTorkerman]

Hope you popped in and said hi to Mr Burns and Homer 😂

[@TheRuralProject]

Ha ha, took me a minute to get it, I was thinking huh 🤔, what does that mean, then it clicked. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Alan_Hans__]

That's not the style saw I was expecting when I saw the swing saw title. I was expecting the widowmaker style where the saw in on the end of a long shaft and you walk it along the wood. A saw bench is a much friendlier thing to operate.

[@TheRuralProject]

Hi Alan. Oh yeah, those things look deadly, but when you see a great operator on them they make it look so easy, but I need safety guards.

[@Alan_Hans__]

I used my old mans swing saw a couple of years ago to cut up some logs about 2ft diameter. It was definitely easier than using a chainsaw but there was definitely some pucker involved as well. When it was sold recently at the clearing sale when they moved off the farm I had zero interest in getting it. The sawbench however is mine. Much saferer.
