I've watched maybe 20 of these kind of videos in the last couple weeks, but this was one of the best... A good mix of all the essentials. You have a good work ethic and you respect your tools. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video. I've got an older 126 (2014) which means I have been on it for about 8 yrs, I cut mainly Doug fir. I started out cutting 2 inch thick boards, but found it was a waste of wood, now I cut nominal sizing. 1.5 inch X whatever size I need. My main reason for doing this is the boards are much lighter in weight, making it easier for an old guy like me. I also do my own logging using an old 4x4 and log arch for pulling them out of the bush. I find the best time to harvest trees is in January or February when everything is frozen and dry. With the sap in the roots at this time of year the trees are as light as they will be and there is minimal sap left stuck on the blade. Have fun.
Good video whipper snapper. Just watching your video made me smile. A young man with a good head and strong will, excellent combination. You don't come across like a know it all and for that I subscribed, like and shared. 🇨🇦🤜🏻. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks for sharing and Good stuff! My Favorite upgrade/mods are Remove the hand crank and use a cordless drill like Landis Legacy Farm and Mark the log stops by the inch like Sawing with Sandy. Save the arm and the blades! Happy Milling :)
Nice setup 👍 I know it’s not normal for a woman but I bought the HM122 & I’m putting it together so I found this video really helpful even through it’s a different model. Only thing that worries me is I don’t have a tractor or winch to get logs on the track yet, as a temporary solution I’m just planning to build a ramp out of earth & timber. Fingers crossed it works or I have a really expensive decoration for my field !
I'm hoping to get one of these soon... I've got a lot of standing timber that I want to turn into a cabin, among other things, but I don't want round logs, I want beams & boards... this particular make & model I like much better than the Harbor Freight mill, not that there's too much wrong with theirs, but this one's still in the doable range & I like the design better... certainly a thorough demonstration...🖖🏿😎👍🏿
Did you check each end of the log to see how much tapper you had? So that if you do you split the difference and raise the smaller end by that 1/2 measurement. This reduces waste.
Haven’t finished video yet, but. Thank you for touching in wearing safety gear! I see all these guys on here milling away with dust going straight into their lungs lol. You only get one set! :)

Woke up this morning with a plan in my mind,

Great video, very helpful. I am considering purchasing a 126 mill myself, so I appreciate all your efforts in producing this video.
Very well explained. I've got the MH 130 max
Also make sure to put your log stops at either end to support the last cuts better. You had a ton of movement on it
Great video; informative, interesting, and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing so we can all learn.
Nice and simple, I like your straight forward approach.

Good work!
absolute pleasure to watch you work sir
It would be very interesting if you could do a short video describing and discussing how you set up the base rails for your 126 mill.
Run one for the first time last week awesome
