Bought this flat belt saw at the scrap yard for $46. Simple angle iron frame with hinged table to crosscut firewood or posts. Poured bearings have no play and rotate. Better now with a few pumps of new grease. 28” blade pretty rusty. People spend that much on blades for decorating or cut up for knives.

Designs on trying to make a brush cutter with forklift pockets for the FEL.

Question? Poured bearings sensitive to type of grease?

Probably hydraulic power thru 3rd function or remote. More torque than speed. Maybe a cylinder to tilt 90*?

Seen a few attempts something like this on Farmshow. Any advice on the good or bad will be welcome. Don’t have much time for new projects but need to gather materials when you can.
