Hi Elden,
 
I can't answer how well they work but, I do have one or two in my collection 
and the look to be as strong as most of the Gravely stuff.  In short, heavy 
bar, large chain, and a manual oiler that sits on the handlebar for the operator 
to apply oil as needed.  They can cut vertical or horizontal or, if making 
sharp stakes for traps, at an angle.  :>)
 
I think they would be faster than a buck saw but maybe not faster than a hand 
held chain saw as you would have to have your log raised off the dirt just a 
little and then move the tractor for each cut.  If you could set up a roller 
table to let the log come endwise into cutting position an keep the Gravely in 
one place, it would be a fast machine.

Speaking of Gravelys, I had a couple of 'em for several years a while back.  
Good, long lived  tractors if used within their capabilities.  I've always 
wondered how well the chainsaw attachment worked.  Do you know.  It'd seem to me 
that it would be good as a buck saw.

Never wanted to use the circular saw attachment.  I'da prolly killed myself 
with it!

Take care - Elden
