I had 95 pulp cord of white pine harvested from my property this past year. I had a problem finding anyone willing to purchase it, but finally did. I have more left to harvest, some as large as 38" breast height.
Just a thought. Once cut #1 is complete, I have had great success with cut #2 exactly square to #1 by flipping the log so the cuts align perfectly. No need to be concerned about how the log “sits” against your stops for your second cut. Most of my milling is for cants.
Nice. Lots of firewood in those slabs. How did you get it square Case after the first cut. The backstops are not very tall. And what is the thing on the ceiling at the end of the cut that swings back and forth. Great video. I like watching that. Have a great day.
Thanks Noel. I just get it flat against the stops and eyeball it. I have used a framing square in the past, but don’t feel it’s necessary for framing lumber. The thing swinging is the hoist controller. 👍🙏🍺
Try checking the throttle cable near the motor. Sometimes it needs adjustment from the factory. SawingwithSandy has a video with this same mill and he shows how he adjusted his after assembly. Great looking outfit though.
Sawmills are no different than any other consumer product that has multiple manufacturing competition. (i.e.) The old adage, "You get what you pay for" is not just a slogan, it's a recorded factual truth within all commercial and industrial corporations. As such, anyone who is thinking about buying a sawmill should think long and hard about what their plans are for the mill, why they are thinking about purchasing a specific name brand and model, how long they expect the mill to last, what size of logs will they be cutting, have they got extra cash for breakdowns or will they be getting a good insurance replace and repair policy with the mill they are about to purchase, will they have a sufficient supply of tree logs to cut, if you are cutting for profit, will you have customers and/or mill competition, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on, so be careful and take your time, and most of all, consult with a long time sawyer before making a final decision to purchase a mill !!!
This may be too late, but I've had a generator that wasn't putting out electricity before. I started the generator, plugged in a drill and turned the drill by hand backwards while holding the trigger. Steve goes over it here: ua-cam.com/video/z2_iYufvXcA/v-deo.html
Thank you sir. I flashed this generator before when I had this same issue and it worked then. It was used up until not long before this video. Nothing is made to last anymore. I appreciate the link 👍
Sometimes things don't go to plan, like in this video! >>>>>> ua-cam.com/video/vJchtEhK-kQ/v-deo.html
It was great to see your mill in action especially cutting large boards like those. Great video, thanks
Thank you sir. It feels good to get milling again. Finally some nice weather

Gorgeous logs there, you looked like like a pro running that mill.
Thank you very much 🙏
You milled some nice pieces Case 👍🏻, great job 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️
Thank you sir 🙏
Nice stick to mill.

GReat job. Every time we mill pine we seem to hit metal.
Haha. Right on the money there. Check this one out!!! ua-cam.com/video/vJchtEhK-kQ/v-deo.html

How fast are the rpm's you're running?
Just listening, it doesn't sound as high as what the working load rpm usually sounds like!
Good ear. The throttle isn’t allowing the rpm’s to go as high as I’d like. I want to adjust it
@@BuildALotAcres Yup! May improve performance of the mill !
Yes, definitely get the rpm's up. Enjoyed the video though.
Was going to say the same

Don't you have your log stops in backwards??
I don't believe so. The angle goes in towards the log so when you roll it, the log rolls easier and doesn't catch on the corner of the stop.
Im interested to buy this kind of mill

All great points and very true. I brought up many of these things in a video I did about 6 months ago.

Why didn't you use the tractor loader instead of the winch to turn the log that is what I use. I have nothing over my mill
Good question. I do use the tractor quite a bit. I guess sometimes I just prefer the slighter movements of the winch.
