    Great work! Lots of work - but worth it. You did well lining everything up and using your machinery. That Kioti can really lift!

    This was a great video and it is good to know the details on how you did this. I remember the video when you made these beams and it is good to be reminded. I am still impressed that the Kioti could lift that log

      ​@@BuildALotAcres you might have mentioned else where. rough idea of horsepower and recommended attachments
      kudos to the bantles of log rite tools. it is a women owned and women run forestry tool business.
      kevin bantle is married to the boss lady. thehave childreen i might have meet them 20 years ago.
      kevin had a woodmizer portable band saw mill. his wooden cant hooks and peaveys (cant hooks with a point for leverage) kept breaking. he designed his own aluminum cant hooker. his design had been copied in steel by the Chinese and lower cost producers. the logic blue are aluminum powder coat. ane for electrical situations the handles are of non conductive fiberglass and made in the usa in vernon or tolland connecticut.
      thanks for the testimonial on a big log.and log rite tools.

    If you only have a couple long beams to mill up, this is where an Alaskan chainsaw mill comes in handy. If there is a local dealer for your sawmill, perhaps you could see if you could rent some bed extensions for your mill. In your particular setup, that may not work as you concrete pad for the mill would accommodate extra bed extensions.

      True. I have a friend with a 3120 Husky and Alaskan Mill. I may someday make my own extensions from 1/4” angle iron. Thanks for watching 🙏

    the Kioti was pretty impressive lifting that log. Great video Case 👍🏻, how many hours did the whole process take? Have a great one 🙋🏼‍♂

      The two beam’s probably took me 5-6 hours maybe to mill

    Can you build a home frame from pire? Red and white? I'm looking to buy a land and the only 2 trees that are mature are white and red pine. Thanksm great videos by the way. Subscribed.

      I’d check the Building Codes in your state. Most states require the lumber to be graded.

    Get a $12 tachometer for the mill. My ear tells me you are running below the 3600rpm. I set mine at 3700 and keep it above 3400 under full load. I can't understand why WM doesn't provide one. Good vid bud.

    Why not cut all 4 sides 1st then 180 it and cut the other 4 sides?

      ​@@BuildALotAcres I think I see what you mean because the log sits level on the bunks as you did it. But the log could be rolled so the cut on the other end is level.

    Why not just do them with the chainsaw mill? Seeing all that work, I would be reaching for the alaskan for long beams it would be so much faster
