An old Frick mill, upgraded with air powered set works, dogs and kickers, and hydraulic turner. Air compressor, hydraulic pump + edger are all driven off the spindle. The only gas engine involved is the sawdust blower.
The sawyer works without helpers to load + turn logs. His production rate keeps engineers on their toes. Also, the edger soaks up a surprising amount of power.
3 flat belt pulleys are provided, to allow several smaller engines or gas tractors to team up.
This relocated show is in a grove of tall trees, giving great shade.
Beautiful site to work some great engines.
While the site is beautiful, what is not visible is the large amount of site prep that took place.
More site work is planned before next year's show.
