how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Found out its a '48. Not a '47.
58 cubic inches of stump pulling power.
Runs real smooth.

That thing got a belt pulley on the back Steve?

Nope. Got the shaft for it but no pulley.
I've heard they are hard to find.

Absolutely. Very few of our customers appreciate the extra effort and cost of square grinding. As long as it goes around the bar and makes chips instead of smoke they're happy!!!

I also like that it can do the depth gauges........

And:
You don’t have to breath all the grinder dust..
Just leave the room.

That was their way of boasting...
in a Swedish sorta way..
“We can remove this much and keep the cutter cool” sorta thing,

Which for me and anyone else who gets thrashed chains, is important..

It’s probably near $7500.00..

And I’m thinking about worth it.

I bet it’s more than that. The Oregon auto grinder is 8k

I bought one of them temco sharpeners, will try to check back in when I've tried it out.

Last Saturday I sat and ground 130 chains on my Simington and Foley for four dollars each. If this one can do most of that alone and free me up, its money well spent.

You could pay for it in 1 day!!!

Local Stihl dealer here has an automatic grinder from Germany. Close to $20K he says. He did a 40” chain for me but it took a lot off the cutters. Fun to watch it run.

Last dump was close to 20” on top of the too much we already had.
My driveway is looking like a tunnel!

The over removal is probably a built in feature to make you buy chain sooner.

IF...

It turns out a serviceable chain and will last for over 100 chains..

Which has yet to be shown.. it’ll be up to Alan to see, cause Phil is still learning how to twist the knobs and push the buttons... lol..

And refuses to test a chain that has been sharpened with the machine.

I really like those machines, but in typical German fashion, they've over engineered those things to the point the price has gone through the roof and you'll need a $200 per hour technician any time something goes haywire and it starts throwing warning lights at you..

If it had an engine light, it would be on..

Like all the time...
