A man, his tools an a nice time out in the woods :). Glad we are able to come along with you to enjoy with you :). Going to be some nice lumber there. Cheers Sandy!
That grapple makes much more sense than the winch/ skidder attachment you used in another video. Keeps the wood clean for milling and looks like it moves more at one time.
Getting ready to order an HM 126, I have 15 acres of reds, whites and some hardwood. Thanks for your videos you’ve given me some great ideas. Cheers from Michigan’s Upper Penninsula 🍻
Hi Sandy…it was birch and poplar for firewood in northern Minnesota but watching reminds me of being on Grandpa’s crew for summertime visits. My cousin and I were the grunts who cleared all the limbs…he had a big double bay woodshed, anything he burned was always dried one year plus…load the fresh wood in one bay, take burn wood from the other side…about 4 cords in each bay.
Nice to cut wood when you are not going through 2 feet of snow. We are dealing with a similar red pine plantation in Quebec. We are not cutting during the warm months on advice from our forester due to the Red ring rot. If we have to cut down a pine tree during that period, we sprinkle borax on the stump. Thought you might be interested in checking ''Red ring rot disease'' as it is present in some area of Ontario and Quebec and can spread through your plantation. Always enjoy your videos . Cheers
I load the catie in and out of truck with tractor, and leave it in truck while filling at station . Catie came with grounding clamp for safety. The math lifting (6) 5 gal cans in and out truck and around all the equipment in a year time is over the top. The catie is on wheel so it moves easily and holds 30 gals. I only have to fill it 4-5 times a year and I'm down to only needing a couple of can for remote filling. 👍 my back thanks every time . 😉.
Good morning, Thanks for responding, looking forward to your next videos. Trees in bush look magical and so peaceful, especially with a hot cup of sludge. Have a great day. Rob
Nice job bucking the red Pine, they fell perfect, the grapple on the tractor handles those logs with ease. (gotta love the Kioti). Looking forward to the milling. Always a like here Sandy, thanks from the southern shores of Georgian Bay.
Sandy's Lumber Depot!!! You're amazing and I enjoy wtching you have so much fun Sandy. Looks to me like you're livin the dream and thanks fr the camera and editing! Peace be with you!
I know I already commented on your wasp issue but I found something new that might be the perfect solution in the future. I copied this from a prepper group on Facebook. Hope this helps, cheers. As a beekeeper we are constantly asked to utilize our beekeeping equipment to get rid of wasp nest. Quick tip : In order to eradicate the Wasps all you need is a fertilizer sprayer that comes with attachable bottle. You fill the bottle with 1/4 dish soap and 3/4 water you then spray it at the wasp nest which is made of paper and will immediately Fall Apart the Wasps will be pissed however the soap in the water causes the water to be able to enter the slits of the WASP breathing area. The viscosity of the water is decreased and will slide into the slits and drowned the wasps.
I like that idea except for the moment the wasps get angry at me haha. Fortunately the wasps haven’t been back but I do plan on putting up a fake nest as from why I understand they are terretorial. I appreciate you helping me out as I’m sure the beekeeping gives you a lot of great experience to share
1. Hey tractor manufacturers, put the fuel fill cap in a place we mortals can reach. I feel your pain, Sandy.😠😠 2. I thought I was the only on who used his 'Workmate' adjustable bench for like everything. Welding inclluded.😁😁 3. How do you deal with poison ivy/ oak? Remedies? Always glad to watch the channel. Super jealous of your milling setup.👌👍👍
I use my workmate for welding too haha. As for poison ivy I just avoid it wherever possible and I’m fortunate that there isn’t much of it up here where I live. Sure is a horrible thing
Sandy do you have a fire extinguisher in your tractor, I just had a Pack Rat nest in behind the exhaust where it comes out of the manifold..... Scary stuff......it started a fire when the wind came up :-( I suggest a 10lb .....
I wish they could have combined the old style positive stop fuel and oil caps with the new style tool free ones. Having the threads protrude on the old ones they hardly ever got saw dust in the tank. The new style I find it best to blow off the saw with air around the caps to get rid of most of the debris. They do make it easy though.
@@sawingwithsandy its a little confusing at first getting the angle and arrows in the right direction. Ounce you figure it out its quick and gets your chain "sticky" sharp
Take chipper out in to forrest and chip on site instead of taking material to it, small axe at mill for cutting small branches of logs, easier to roll with out them on log.
i give you a "A+" on the way you cut your trees not like some others that make you think they got a bad back or something and they cut the bottom of the trees 24 to 30 inches above ground they don't realized that they miss out on many logs on top of the tree because of that missing 24 to 30 inches and nice clean woods by the way that is the kind of forest floor that is pleasant to walk or work in have a nice day
Yeah I know what you mean. I find thy since I’m often looking for as much lumber as I can get out of my trees I avoid cutting too high off the ground. Also keeps the bush looking nice I feel.
Morning Sandy! Years ago I took a course with the MNR on the felling of trees safely. Ended up with a skidder/cutter license...never ran a skidder but lots of trees felled over the years. It was well worth it. Watching you do your thing, brought back memories. Be safe. Ken in Peterborough.
Hi sandy great video. I also count my file strokes i find it keeps the teeth even. I finally got my hm 130max. I went and picked it up yesterday, the base is all ready just need to figure out how to get it out of the darn truck hahaha I did not think of that when I told them I would pick it up to save on shipping.
Do you have a generous neighbor with a tractor you could call upon or maybe some really strong guys? Bribe them with future lumber! Just going through the last setup steps on my new hm130max before I fire it up! Are you as excited as I am to make some sawdust fly!? 😁
@@lumberjill6598 I sure am. I got out their this morning at the crack of dawn. I decided to take it out of the box piece by piece it felt just like Christmas morning when I was a kid.
I sure like your channel. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with others. I just purchased a hm 130 max. Your videos really helped with research. Thanks.
I bought a fuel catie on weels for my stuff, 30 gal with a manual pump best thing I have done in long time. No more lifting heavy fuel cans. You should consider that, I'm sure you will be happier. 👍
I’ll have to check it out. My only issue would be lifting it in and out of my pickup truck to get fuel as the fuel station. How do you find using it at the fuel station?
@@sawingwithsandy they usually come with ground strap which is for safty. I leave the tank in the truck to fill with fuel and lift it in and out PU with the tractor. 30 gal last quite a while for me, so about 4- 5 time a year I have fill tank. The math on all those 5 gal cans really add up quick not to mention haveing take 6 cans to fill at the station. If I have take fuel with me, put a few gal in a can and go. My back says thanks every time I have to fill up anything. 🙂
Hey Sandy I was watching u use that 2x4 under the bar as was thinking how dum I must be as I have to reach over to lift the bar while righting it down, thanks for the tip
Thanks for tuning in Rob. To be honest I’ve never actually measured this red pine bush but if I had to estimate I’d say around 12-20acres of red pine here
Filling the diesel tank; the ''Princess'' store sell transfer/syphon diesel pump for less than 20$ . This shed wiil be ''luxurious''. Did you find an aftermarket steering rubber boot? Ahhhhhhh winter, no bugs, no sweat. I'm wondering, how old is your forest? Be well ;-)
Good To hear from you. Forest is about 35 years old. I haven’t had a chance to look around for the steering boot for the tractor but I’m hoping to soon. Good idea about the syphon. I’ll have to have a closer look at them
Sandy, why oh why, don't you have a simple auto jack under the small end of the log?? You MUST level the heart on both ends to get the most can't volume out of the log. On the small red pine- the taper is minimal, but you had a large spruce or pine log that could have realized a 2" INCREASE in size of the resulting cant. M8chael
Hey Michael. I don't own a small auto jack unfortunately but I do use small blocks of wood to lift the ends up on occasion on the sawmill to limit waste and centre the pith.
The property i'm on is similar to yours in that there are a lot of skinny trees close together. I'm in the process of trying to thin it out, so the "better" trees have less competition. Have you been doing anything like that and/or do you have any thoughts?
Check out Good Works Tractors here on YT. He has a variety of new grapples and other tractor attachments for sale at reasonable prices and free shipping
In case it hasn't been been mentioned, would suggest mixing some water and dish soap and spraying on your stinging pests. It will knock them out of the air and expires them in seconds 😵
They were live trees. I find cutting live trees to be a bit easier to saw as the water in the tree provides for a bit of lubrication. I prefer cutting live in the winter time though as live Pine in the summer has a lot of pitch in it that can gum up the blades of the sawmill
In my humble opinion, snow is easier to deal with than bugs, heat and humidity. With a 7' length, I suspect that you'll be doing board and batten siding. Any reason that you chose this over horizontal lap siding?
Welcome to the channel. I’ve been very happy with the kioti. I did a long term review of it not too long ago if you’re interested . Thanks again for watching Kioti Tractor Long Term Review ua-cam.com/video/9msNtMoq_AU/v-deo.html
Do the bugs get in your lumber after milling ? Do you use a mill finish to stop the bugs from entering your cut lumber like log home mills do ? Have a great day
Hi Robert, I find that bugs will bite into the wood beneath the bark within about two weeks if I don’t get them milled. If they’re off the ground takes a bit longer for the bugs to get in
I don’t use any mill finish in the wood aside from just cutting them relatively soon after they hit the ground. I do prefer cutting in winter because the bugs don’t bore in
Reason I count strokes is for consistency so that each tooth in both directions has been sharpened the same amount. I find it prevents any curved cuts especially when cutting up firewood
Sawing with Sandy contrary to popular belief, this is simply a myth. Not sure if you are familiar with Buckin Billy Ray Smiths channel, he puts out a lot of quality information and has debunked this myth. As long as all teeth are sharp and your rakers are filed down correctly, you will have straight and clean cuts. As you're filing all teeth equally, the life span of your chain becomes shorter and shorter
you can thank the CCC camps for planting them red pine tree in the 1930 I went 1 year of forest school in wakena n.y. around 1960 I was told that red pine trees and scotch pine were not a native tree in the U.S. they also said the adirondacks rises 12 inches in a hundred years.

Old alaskan who thinks this is the final word in fun when watching someone else sweat and I enjoy some herb tea. No advice as the armchair critics have it covered. Have often wondered why no doggy... doesn't everyone have a mutt?
Sandy you need to read your chainsaw manual to review the safety rules i wonder if this rule is in yours? You made a dangrous move, When you take 3 or more steps with the chainsaw Please engage your chain lock. that way you dont trip and VRrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ouch.
Seriously please 😂 take your “safety” concerns and leave. My bet is you’ve never used a chainsaw and if you have, never got anything done because you’re scared of everything. 😂

Thanks for that! Happy to have ya along
That grapple makes much more sense than the winch/ skidder attachment you used in another video. Keeps the wood clean for milling and looks like it moves more at one time.
Trouble with the grapple is I can’t drive to many trees that I want to harvest and so I’m unable to pickup the trees with the grapple
Lot of work just to get a log to the bunk, but you have to admit the process is kinda fun....most days! Take care Sandy! 👋🤗
Haha you’re right there….most days

The grapple wow
I never knew how bad I need a tractor until I saw that grapple in action. So useful.
It sure does do a lot of the jobs I don’t particularly like like picking up big climbs of brush.
just to say hello in joy watching from Michigan
Hey Paul!

I agree with the last poster, I am really intrigued to find out the backstory of you and the red pine forest. Cool video happy milling!
Thanks for watching Dylan. I’ll be sure to try to remember to cover that in future videos.
Good job as usual
Thanks John!

Hey Michael. I don't own a small auto jack unfortunately but I do use small blocks of wood to lift the ends up on occasion on the sawmill to limit waste and centre the pith.
Hi there Sandy You know you can use slabs for siding to
That’s very true. I’ve been meaning to give that a try one of these days but just haven’t gotten around to it

That’s a new one for me. I’ll have to give it a try sometime. Thanks
Let's do it
Here we go!
Looked like the trees you cut were live. Much difference in milling a dead tree vs a live tree Sandy ?.
They were live trees. I find cutting live trees to be a bit easier to saw as the water in the tree provides for a bit of lubrication. I prefer cutting live in the winter time though as live Pine in the summer has a lot of pitch in it that can gum up the blades of the sawmill
In my humble opinion, snow is easier to deal with than bugs, heat and humidity. With a 7' length, I suspect that you'll be doing board and batten siding. Any reason that you chose this over horizontal lap siding?
I like snow more than bugs as well. Doing board and batten to match the shop siding
Hi Sandy, what kind of measuring tape is that?
Hi Wayne, this is a Loggers tape made by the US tape compmy
Does red pine make good lumber?
I’d prefer white pine or spruce but red pine is the main wood I’ve got the most of so O just watch for knots when using the wood for structural pieces
I have 7 acres of red pine that I just bought a mill for. I'll have to keep that in mind.
How many acres of woods u got??
I’m not too sure how big this tract of red pine is but I’d say 12-20 acres if I had a guess

Don't need to count strokes, just sharpen tooth and move on to next

On the small red pine- the taper is minimal, but you had a large spruce or pine log that could have realized a 2" INCREASE in size of the resulting cant. M8chael
I find with smaller logs I mostly saw it’s not that important for what I saw
