The log lift works ok. I think i need to swap sides with the digs the. I put it together like the manual said, but the logs get caught on the dogs half the time. Other than that, it works fine
@@reignworkswoodworking5152 I think you'll like it better set up the other way. The logs can still get stuck, happens less often though especially if you go slow and steady. There's a couple good modifications you can make for the lifter as well, look up Ozark Sawmill Services on here and you'll see a good solution Dave helped him with.
Desert Hobo, thanks for noting the modification. Basically, it is a 2x6 (I recommend treated lumber so it will last longer) with a notch for the track bolted to the inside of the channel that drops down and forms a bridge when the log rolls onto the frame. It is just high enough for the log to clear the stops. Here's a link. You can see the modification at 6:30 in the video. ua-cam.com/video/dCt7P_NE8A8/v-deo.html
I used a place that had been packed down for years (red clay), then I had some milled 4x6 beams that I cut to be wider than feet to spread loads out, and the thin metal shim stock to get it exactly level, and in 2 years I've had to relevel 1 time I check level prior to every use, if your getting flustered walk away come back with fresh eyes, find a sawyer close that is willing to help, or a good contractor thats good at leveling
Hopefully you got this worked out, im a little late to the party. Most of my videos get no views or comments lol. If you have any other questions or need some advice let me know! Im easier to getvwith email reignworksfurniture@gmail.com
Im sorry, I just noticed some people actually watched the video lol. So initially I didn't have any trouble, it works great. Install was really easy as well. It's just a chain and motor. The controller hooks on where you push the gas in. It took maybe an extra 30min-hour to get everything on and running. BUT, I did run into an issue with the power up/down about a month ago. It kept blowing fuses and acted underpowered all the time with the wireless remote. The regular power up/down box seemed to have more power. Using the same motor. It eventually started blowing fuses, until it messed up the circuit board on the reciever. I had to send it in for repair. Since i got my hd38 early, they adjusted some parts that the cable wraps around making it have less of a taper, so it doesnt put as much strain on the motor. Im supposed to be getting the wireless remote and control box back tomorrow.
Good deal, thanks for replying. I'm glad everything's going in a good direction. Did you have to send the whole mill back for repairs/upgrades or just the bad parts?
Thanks for posting the video. How's the log lift working for you?

I'm trying to assemble my hd36v2 and having a Terrible time getting the bed true and level. How did the assembly for you go? Do you have any pointers?

That's awesome. Any issues with the power feed? How was the install?

Hydraulic pump should've been made to run electrical
I think there is an electric option using a deep cycle battery and an alternator. I believe the mill can also be equipped with an electric motor.
You shouldn’t start the blade dead at the saw it’s cost me a few times
