I can completely see where he's coming from. As a work truck I think it's the best one you've got. That Doka is nice, but not as nice as the black one!

The 660 has a few bars. I generally used to cut firewood with the 16" mounted in my bench. Less teeth to sort out if/when I hit something hard in the wood! I cut up a lot of sawn timber that I get off of sites - roof joists etc. I can be pretty sure I'll hit a nail at least once a day, although this carbide tipped blade doesn't seem too bothered by them so far. Even the old plate saw blade was fairly robust compared to a chainsaw.

A short video of it running.... Note how the tractor revs come right down when I cut the big log! It's only 10hp at the PTO though so it does pretty well, and most of the wood I cut is small.



Even on the little Kubota it cuts that big log near the end a lot faster than a chainsaw.

thats a right thing!  8) its not a problem with the big bits, all youd have to do is cut a big bit then do a full thin bit and go back to your big bit :)  Now liked by unimog club uk :)

Cheers for that, much appreciated.

I don't cut big stuff like that very often at all. Generally most of what I bring home is heavy prunings up to around 4" and it cuts those easily. In the long run it will be fitted to something bigger anyway. I may even upgrade my little compact at some point, it's about as small as you can get with a linkage fitted and I got it to run a 42" belly mower rather than to do this.

Having said that it's a good little tractor. Selectable 2/4wd, rear diff lock, fiddle brakes... It does a hell of a lot for it's size!

Something that may work on a mog is an old Ferguson saw. It's the same idea, just older and I've seen them go for around £200. Add a carbide blade (under £100) and you're there. You'll soon save that in fuel and chain oil.

I'm terrible for my toys. I don't really need any of it but it's work related and cuts down the tax bill, so why not?!

Anyway, how can you be the one to fall out with me. I'm not the one who's showing off owning a nice U900! If you like my saw that much I'd be happy to swap! ;D

You'd soon take that back if you had to put fuel in it for a day!
