Lucas, I am so happy for you! And frankly, you explained the assembly better than the manufacturer. They know who to choose, you just made it easier to get one. Cameron will be happy when he gets a chance to use it with you. Right now, his time is full. Oh, but he will be itching to do it. He seems to enjoy machinery just like you do
Like the tip on the oil pan along with the tools in the pan. It is sure doable to do by yourself but another person always helps out. Looks like a good machine. I haven’t really found it an issue to turn a valve to drip when cutting bs the automatic one. Great video!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead my dad and I did it by basically tilting the head back and pulling the rail under it. Then we just kinda pushed it up onto it. Worked out well. Now, my mill is still not setup due to lack of flat ground like I once had. Not a very good idea to try to hanle the who setup on off camber ground with my current setup.
I didn’t know using an impact was bad for Nylock nuts. Never had heard that before. That lift is sure handy in this circumstance. Looks like a very nice mill Lucas with some great tips.
Great Video! It looks like a great mill. I can see that a sawmill shed is being built soon! Now, I am only going to say this once in jest - don't slice the SXS into slabs.😀
Good assembly video, ya dun good. Yes, lifting it up so ya don't bend over, perfect. I do it whenever I can. I watched the company video too, your version is much more interesting from q first use/assembly view point.
First time hearing about this mill maker and I have looked at a bunch of them. Price seems great as a major step up from (dare I say it) Harbor Freight. One thing I was thinking since you lifted the mill head from floor to upright alone, wouldn't it have been easy enough to go ahead and put that on the track before adding all the extra weight? Also maybe add a second water flow valve at the throttle handle for convenience. Looking forward for more on this machine,
Yes, I probably could have tipped it up right into the rails and then rolled it forward and lifted the other side. This was my first assembly so I didn’t think of that. Also, I have a video coming out Thursday where I add an electric switch to the watering system so I can turn it on from the handle while milling. 👍
@@GoingOff-Grid message me either on facebook or email to: peekspeakhobbyhomestead@gmail.com I'll get your name and talk to my contact at MechMaxx about what is going on.
Yeah, they are a China based company. From what I’ve been told, they source parts from the same place Woodland Mills does. I believe that to be true as I have operated both mills and they have a lot of similarities.
Why you so hostile, man. This could have been done without the lift or the tractor. Maybe call some friends…ones that you don’t treat like you treat strangers.

Yes, I think he will really love it when he has time!
It matches your tractor color! 👍
That is a darn good color 😉

Yeah with a tractor it is totally doable. It would be tough to set the mill head alone without it.

That’s what I’ve been told. I didn’t want to take chances on this. I figured a few extra minutes wouldn’t hurt.

I was hoping to get a sawmill myself. Before these videos I was leaning towards the woodlands Mill. I’m now thinking Mech Max is the way!!
Definitely an affordable option. I’ll be showing it in action more really soon!
It will be exciting when you move it to the hilltop woodyard. Next building will be the milling shed. Take care and stay safe.
For sure! We are hard at work to make the next moves! 👊
My dad and I will also be the 2 guys taking 8 hours to put it together 😂😂
😂🤣 Quality time, quality time…
Nice work, we might need to put you on new tractor set up!!
I enjoyed this. It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I was expecting.

I ordered the SM32 with bed rail extension about 6 weeks ago. I can't wait, hope it gets here soon.
Congrats! I hope so too! You are going to love it! I am getting so much good out of mine.
Did you get your mill after 6 weeks
No, it's been over 7 weeks now and they haven't answered my email from 8 days ago. Starting to wonder what's going on!

Nice mill , Where is the mill made , I couldn’t find any info .
Yeah, they are a China based company. From what I’ve been told, they source parts from the same place Woodland Mills does. I believe that to be true as I have operated both mills and they have a lot of similarities.
Is the 32 in just as good
I am currently assembling one, everything appears to be comparable just a larger capacity.
Ty for reply i will order the 32 inch i will tell them i watch your vdo
@@Peter-od7op be sure and use code “Lucas 5%Off” to save 5%. They should honor it for a phone order too…
I tried lucas5%OFF. Did not work
I just tested it and it still works. I think there has to be a space between 5% and Off
This is bullshit. You have way more ability and equipment than anyone else to assemble the mill. Not a fair example at all
