Lol its a bit mad but pritty cool. There was another with a convayer feed which looked a lot safer as thete was 3 sides for the timber to hit. It would be awesome for small stuff I usually sling through the Chipper

I'm not sure my Kubota would have the balls to run that - in fact I know it wouldn't.

I'm not a fan of health and safety. It gets in the way of natural selection!

I cut the end off of my middle finger with a hedge cutter some years back - again fixable but the nerves have never been the same since! Note to self - don't stick your fingers in sharp places and they'll stay intact! ::)

I had the saw out again today and really pushed it. The biggest log I managed was sycamore about 14" round and the little tractor really wasn't impressed! I had to pull it out and go in from the other side as it hit the blade stop before it made it right through. After attacking some much bigger stuff I've come to the conclusion that it handles up to 9-10" with no bother at all. Anything over that and I need to be a bit considerate and not just ram it through hard!

You cut the end of your thumb off with a chipper? Please tell me it was during a blade change or something rather than when using it? :o

Ha, the blade had frozen into place so we knocked it of with the crane, then cause I was young I thought I'd keep spinning it, then tried stopping it. Half a tonne of momentum doesn't want to stop  :-\

You'd have thought that knowing what it can do to a log would have given you a clue?! At least you learned your lesson without any really serious outcome.

I once watched a bloke try to line up a link pin on a forklift with his finger - he no longer has that finger!  :-[

Njc I'm a professional all the time. i've never had a chainsaw pulled from my harness and into a pond, nor have I ever driven a ride on mower through a pair of double doors at the age of 12  ::) ;D

That's better! Keep them coming.

I don't suppose I mentioned the small health and safety risk I took some years ago when I climbed 25 feet up a sycamore tree to prune the top out? It was part of a hedge so had been topped before so I set to the branches with my pruning saw. Some time later when I needed to move a little I found a nice sized branch, stamped on it a couple of times to check it wasn't one of the loose ones I'd cut and it didn't budge... It didn't so I stepped onto it. That's when the smaller branch that was holding it up there snapped and I fell 25 feet into the neighbours compost heap on top of an old bike! That bloody hurt I can tell you, but after getting over the shock and realising my legs still worked I was back up there finishing off what I'd started. Slightly sore but lesson learned and no harm done. I wear a harness now!

It's pretty scary to think that a mate of mine fell from a branch less than 6 feet from the ground when collecting conkers - he's been in a wheelchair ever since. :(

falling from the top of a unimog camper body at the mercedes benz truck factory in worth, on what might be the hardest patch of land in the word as its had thousands of trucks drive over it. falling head first with my arms out to break my fall, landing with  slap, jumping up saying im all right, then 5 minutes later leaning against a fence yellow/green. went to the hospital turns out id broken my wrist and one of my thumb bones  8) like a boss!
