We had one for the 8n when we were growing up.The 8n had the sherman hi-lo step up-step down auxilary transmission,and we would put it in step up,and run lower engine rpm than the pto speed.It lost a little power on large pieces some times,but worked great on small stuff.It worked great if you had about three or four of us running it,feeding it,and taking away.The main reason they were popular,I believe,was because old chain saws were very heavy.Nowadays with lighter saws,it's faster,and easier,to cut with the chain saw.I can still hear that saw ZING when it went thru a piece of wood.Dad always made us put cotton in our ears when we ran it. We also had a 2 man 4' chain saw that was PTO pump hydraulic powered that we used on the 8n.It was a Von Ruden brand ,I think.It was a hoss.Mark
