^ That is basically what I did.
I was happy I didn't need to worry about storing it, maintenance, and sharpening knives. I'm sure I put a LOT of wear and tear on it that weekend. I setup the logs so I had a system going with the machine. I was feeding it pretty much non-stop. So it's duty cycle was above 90% load.
Only time it got a break was my bathroom breaks, food time, and diesel time... other than that, it was on and being fed logs. I wanted to make sure I got my $750 out of it. lol
When I went in and told them initially what I was going to do, they had just the machine on yard. Signed the paper work, payed the fees, showed me how to use it, and hitched the beast to the truck. When I got home, I unhitched it from the truck, used the trailer mover on the tractor and brought it where I wanted to on my property. Then had at it Friday evening till late Sunday night.
After, I was done, I just brought it back up front, hitched it back onto the truck, stopped by the diesel stop, topped it off, and brought it back.
That's my type of "maintenance". Let someone else deal with it...
