Chris's Ransome Tree Feller
crueby:
The model of the Ransome Patent Tree Feller is complete. As noted in the buiild (well, both builds, first one was a bust), the valve system on this model was modified from the original Ransome design, which I was not able to get to run well. This new design of the valve uses a shuttle valve similar to the ones in some boiler feedwater pumps. Details on that and diagrams are over in the build thread in the Supporting/Vehicles And Models section of this forum. This design is working quite well, much happier with it!
Ready for some test cuts on a pine 'tree'...

Running pretty well, took a few tests to get the pressure and valve setting to give it enough power to get through the 'tree', which is held by a screw through the end of the display base, with a threaded insert in the display base to take the screw. The saw itself is bolted up through the display base to hold it in place. Running pretty good!! :cartwheel:
Here are some pictures too...

Liked the special "trunk clamp" ! I think you have just the right blade for it too. Another great build. :cheers:
