Thanks. 17” pine will pull it hard. And 12” hardwood But it’s a 100 hp blade. I wouldn’t mind having a skip tooth blade. Sometimes I run this one as skip tooth. It’s easier to pull.
You should be able to find one for $2500 in decent shape. Be careful though, because blade work can be expensive. To have one rehammered and the bits/shanks replaced could cost up to $500. I believe we spent around $250 on this blade to get it going. There’s some hammering videos on my channel. Good luck.
Saw runs good. No protection on that drive line and you were standing right next to it when you engaged the pto. Not good! Get on the tractor to engage it and give it a wide berth. If anything goes wrong, that drive line will injure you in a heartbeat.
Optical illusion. I’m 2.5 feet away from the shaft. A cover was added later. You can see it boxed in later videos. You’ll see a lot of dangers on these old mills and if an operator doesn’t keep them in the forefront of thinking, he won’t be around long.
You sure do have that M and belsaw working well together, very nice video can't wait to get mine back out when the weather worms up.
Thanks. It’s cold here for East Tennessee! Still lots of work on the mill to be done but it’s slowly getting dialed in

Love it! Looks like you have adequate power for pine. I am close to getting my latest upgrade done. Keep on milling!

@@tennesseesawmillguy1590 thanks
The fellow that does my blade lives in North Carolina. His name is Stacy.
I learned a lot about the old blades when I was up there.
What are you do with the slabs? Firewood?
Yeah. Saw em and stack em in inches totes for burn pit/ campfire wood.
One wrong cut or miscalculation and you have one BIG piece of firewood...
Yep.
I’ve messed up before!
Thanks for watching.
Where abouts do you live in Tennessee
