Oh yea, I got the blade rolling going pretty good.  It makes all the difference to have a flat blade.  If you don't hve a flat blade your lumber will look like you sharpened your blade with a dremel tool lol


I use wm 7/39 .055" 1-1/2" 195" and kasco 7/40 1-1/2 .055" 195" on the seventy
Boy, back in my day..

Hey Peter I was wondering what size John Deere you have it looked like a 5400 series but wasn't sure I've been shopping around a little lately

Whoops, DanGit!!  How do you get all that sawdust out of there, it looks like it's blocked in with everything around it.  Surely you don't shovel it??

Peter Drouin

Yes a 5410, A 2000 model, 81 horse, Most come with a 65 horse. I found this one through a JD dealer. It was a trade in with less than a 1000 hrs on it.
Come to find out the old owner had ordered it with a bigger engine.
Cab with heat and AC. In NH when cutting firewood in the winter for the next year. It is nice to have a cup of coffee and warm up some. In the summer with the AC I don't want to get out of it. :D :D :D $30,000.
A lot of times going to a dealer can be a good thing.
And I wanted one made in the US. When you get over 50 horse they're made here.

Just like the Cat I got, Went through a dealer. Under 4000 hrs dealer maintained.
Just tell the dealer what you are looking for and call when one comes in.


Well its 6;15 AM, I got some logs to scale and a bunch of customers coming today. gotta go.


Slow Joe, just saw your post, I move the lumber with the cat then use the JD with a bucket, I can drive right in. Put it in the GMC 3500, del to a farmer in town, he fills the truck with cow poo. ;D I have piles of poo all over. It sells well.
That's 4 days of sawing.

thats what i thought it was i was looking at a 5420 open station 81hp with 3000ish hrs on it and factory jd loader  they were asking $21900 thought that didnt sound to bad i have a 4020 now with no loader and im ready to move to a front assist with loader the one thing i wish it had was a left hand reverse but o well glad to see yours can handle some big logs.  i used the farms 6430 the other day to move a 42-36" by 10' walnut log and i think it was about all it wanted unless i put weight on the back but got it loaded know i just have to decide if i want to set it on my mill  ???

UHaul should make flatbeds.

And did you ask them how they planned to unload?

some questions are probably better not asked. :D

Could be simple.  Tie one of the middle ones to something solid and drive up.   ;D  The trick would be what to do with it after it's on the ground.   The outside ones would have to move to the middle so as not to rip the door tracks off.
