Yeah, there's not much market for these things anymore. Kountry Kollecters like the blade to paint a scene on and hang in homes or restaurants or whatever. Back before chainsaws and even since too, you could trim up the treetops left after a logging operation(the "slash") into "buzzpoles", haul them to an open area, pile them and then use a "buzz-rig" to saw 'em up in a hurry-if you could get three or more guys to do it. It took one super experienced guy to be the sawyer who ran the shelf-like table with the pole(s) on it through the blade using back and forth motions, moving the pole forward about 16-18 inches each time until the pole was all cut up. Another guy was at the pole pile getting another pole and the third guy(who had to pay attention real good) took the cut-off pieces at the saw and threw them in a wagon or truck or in a pile on the ground away from the saw. I worked at all three jobs buzzing wood and never personally saw anyone hurt by the saw blade, I have seen some pinched or smashed fingers, some pretty big chunks of sawdust be extricated out of eyes and had a sore back from this work. About 40 years ago a guy in the area sawed his hand clean off at the wrist and the doctors couldn't re-attatch it. Buzz saws, corn pickers, and mean, nasty bulls used to injure a lot of people in those days.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
