I had an uncle who fitted a 24"-36" blade to the front of
his 1938 John Deere tractor to cut up brush.
Never saw it in action.
Just being near the thing gave me the willies.

I was just about to ask how one powers one of those. Looked like it needs
a good bit of power to get it turning. I imagine you're looking at a 20 HP
minimum saw. You guys with your 5 HP 220V monsters aren't even close. :-)

The funny thing is is that all the barns in the neighborhood I grew up in
had saws like this... tractor driven by PTO. All were considered to be
obsolete junk and were scrapped (two after the barns burned down). Now that
firewood is back in vogue they are popular again!

Obviously a replacement blade for the _old_ style Fein MultiTool.

... the sad remains of our neighbour's '26 Durante
is still sitting in our fenceline - awaiting proper burial ..
.. after sawing firewood - and maybe a little lumber
during my early childhood ..
