This one used to be a lot more active. https://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?forums/general-ih-tech.4/ People are on Facebook now, I don’t like the Facebook format.

My son’s both have Scouts. One has an 80, the other is an 800. I think there are threads here, haven’t been updated in a long time though.

Yours and mine are the only posts in this thread, and I’m in Fresno. I do remember a Scout owner in Menifee, can’t think of his name right now.

My saws don’t hibernate in the winter. But it’s not firewood I cut, it’s cutting trees out of the road mostly. We also buck in the mountains, I don’t understand the people that haul trailer length logs home, then buck them at home. I’m on a chainsaw/tree cutter forum with a lot of people from...

Were you aware that International moved the core support forward on the V8 Scouts? They went from engine all the way back, to engine all the way forward.

Wow, lots of sheetmetal work. What engine did this Scout have in it originally?

There‘s not really, very little happens here.

Welcome! You been under a rock???

You bucked it at home, or you split it at home?

I got the last of that oak split yesterday, and the pine waiting its turn. Some of it isn’t exactly solid, I’m gonna sort it for the burn barrel when I stack it. I also have three green roller waste bins full of what I don’t want, some rotten, some termite damaged, and a couple pieces had...

This is an option I didn’t mention. I removed those two because I needed to put access through there and they had to come out, if nothings happening right there you can grind them.

Yes. People think my 32,000 lb machine will pull any stump out, it won’t. They’re really anchored. And there’s a few factors, wet ground, dry ground, rocks in the ground, rotten tree, solid tree, and how big it is. Sometimes you just have to revert to the old way of digging around it and cutting...

How heavy is the tractor you have to pull the stump with?

If they’re strong enough to handle it and you have a big enough machine, push them over. Unless they’re dead, then part of the tree might break off and fall on you. I had to dig around a couple trees last summer, they just broke off when pulling on them. Once I got a cable around this...

Tried out the new Fiskars, so far I like it. Most of this split with one swing, some were one handed. I still have bigger logs I’ll get to before long.

My son airing up his tires with a foot pump, ha. It didn’t take that long actually. He aired down because he went farther up the road and got stuck on the ice, he got himself out before I cut the fallen tree out of our driveway, dropped the trailer and went looking for him. I was half way up the...

Lol! :lol:

My son and I brought the rest of the black oak in our camp down on Saturday, the biggest piece is still up the hill. Threw some pine chunks in for our burn barrel, it’s stuff we wanted out of the way anyway.

I could tell it wasn’t exactly solid by the chips, but it wasn’t powdery. From what I saw I didn’t expect it to break apart, just maybe I couldn’t control the direction of fall. I already had the vee out of it and was doing the back cut. I did think that since it survived that much that it would...

I went up yesterday and cut some more of that black oak. I didn’t bring much down, I didn’t take the trailer because I didn’t have time to do that much. Some of it has bad spots, I’ll just split that away.
