Thanks John. Still love watching your sawmill run!

Thanks, we have some Black Locust in the wood stove now!

Thanks. It does have a small rack that attaches. One of my next videos will be running logs. I also just picked up some additional rollers from an auction for a future build! Have a great day!

I agree. I think it will be worth it when it comes to production as well.

Thanks. Keep up the good work on your channel! Finally ran some logs through it. I’ll try to get it posted this week.

Thanks. Definitely have constantly changing ideas and not enough time to implement them all lol. Always learning, some from others, some from failures.

I finally ran some logs through it. I’ll get it posted up sometime this week! Congrats on the new truck!

Hello. Have a great day. Thanks for watching.

I am, that is the main reason I purchased it. I used it on logs for the first time the other day. As soon as I get it edited and get good cellular service I will get it posted. We are out of town for a baseball tournament for the week.

I asked about them when I picked the saw up and the salesman said not many people ever have to replace the blade. So for now I only have the one.

I found a dealer I believe in Kentucky called Hamilton Equipment I believe but the place in Canada was much closer to me. It is rated for a 12” cut. I am not home to measure but would guess the opening is about 14-15”

There is a rod you adjust out with the black spring loaded bar. Set it to 16” and run the log to it and cut. Can be set to whatever length, not sure what the max is. When I was looking I thought there was a dealer in Kentucky but the one in Canada was a lot closer for me. I know the place in Canada will ship to the US. There is also a metal measurement bar mounted on the left side for when you just need to cut the end off a piece.

I do not buy wood as of now. I go get all of my own wood clearing land for people, cutting in my own woods for habitat improvement etc.

At baseball. The good news is my nephew is with us for a Missouri baseball trip so I put him to work. Video coming soon. Nate who is my best worker shattered his finger and earned a few stitches with a hit by a pitch 😕

I’m not really worried about the time on the tractor etc. this will be very easy work for the tractor compared to plowing, hauling logs, etc. I am also keeping an eye out for an older tractor to use to run the saw to free up my Kioti for other tasks while sawing.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors what is the hp requirement for the saw?

15hp. The Pto just powers a hydraulic pump that drives the hydraulic motor.

I picked it up by Guelph Ontario, Canada from Eastern Farm Machinery. They have other models and options available also. The Samurai was $2,864 out the door. They will ship to the US as well.

Thanks. I am definitely better now about taking care of my body than I was when I was younger. More importantly I teach my kids to take care of theirs. From hearing to eyes etc. As far as what I produce each year I’d say in the past probably only 15-20 cords. But as my kids get older I am getting more serious about it and would like to hit at least 50 cord next year and go up from there. I do not buy log trucks etc.

I paid $2,860 USD for it. I picked it up near Guelph Ontario, Canada.

The Samurai is much faster and easier with the right wood!
