Very insightful topic. I wish I could have learned those things much earlier in life

Very pretty wood

Here is part 2 of this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5dkjaaly8XLgKM.html

This is going to be a good series, hopefully it finds the right people!

WoW, I am so glad you are doing this series, it gives me hope.

I have worked in a few mills in lifetime and It is hard work. I noticed one thing you need to do before you start trying to really cut anything. Your log bed is not straight. The saw head is rolling toward the center from both ends. That means the center is low compared to the ends.

we told you to slow down don't blame the clowns who are watching you make mistakes lol

If you have a landscape rake I would use that, turned at an angle, to help pull some of those bigger rocks out of the driveway. The grading looks Great my Brutha! Keep up the tractor videos!

Hey there, I think if you were to lengthen your center link and shorten your right arm you might get much better results 👍. Like your machine 👍

Nice work bub

Serving board, yes. Charcuterie board, yes. Cutting board, NO. Not with that grain pattern.

the only down pressure on the rear is the weight of the implement. if you have nothing on the back and you lower the hitch, you will see that you can easily lift the arms to hitch up. there is no down pressure.

Good xx ❤❤❤❤

make two planks of the same thickness that fit between the saw bed, measure from the plank the thickest side to the heart of the trunk, do the same on the thin side of the trunk and bring the thin side of the heart to the same height of the thickest side. In this way you saw with the fiber growth of the trunk and you have the least tension in the planks you saw.

No you’re not wrong on the assembly. My neighbor had to adjust his too and his came assembled. Don’t know why as it is very annoying. Surely someone has advised WM.

Hope all are well in your family my neighbor just bought their larger one. Possibly 8”. We mulched some cedar for my garden. Filled the truck bed in about 20 min. Worked great. He has a series JD. Does that model have reverse too.

The T-25 also cures ED. No silly not that ED. When I got my tractor I no longer had Envy Disorder. No more watching my neighbours clearing snow with their tractors and being soooo Envious.

Can't even hear you over the music 🤷

Excellent video sir!

All I have cut on my HM130 Max is White Oak and when doing a big cut it really oscillates a lot. New subscriber

The CEO made it

I like your mill! I think you did a very good job on those logs. I have seen other channels doing wood cutting and it seems all have their own style. I did see one that uses a metal detector to check for nails, staples for fences, and bullets that may have been in the tree when younger and not visible when milled. I wonder if you took a hose and hosed down the log prior to cutting to get any dirt off that might dull your saw. I have subscribed and I like what you are doing! What part of the country are you in there?

Thx for your humility. Great teacher

Thx for sharing

I'll bring the pancakes 🥞!

You got no volume, can't hear you buddy

I bought a max130 it's assembled and waiting for me to retire 😮

Sounds to me like it is idling too fast, will shorten clutch life

When trying for 2 post; After cutting your third side drop down (5” in your case) and make your fourth cut. Now roll that top off 90* roll bottom 90* and set for fifth cut 5” off the deck. Roll bottom 90* (after bringing saw head back to start position) make final pass and you’ll have your two 5x5. Better economy of movement. Hope that makes sense.

Wouldn’t a grapple be nice on that T-25 eh! Think I’m gonna get one this coming spring. Driveway looks better already.

This winter (2023/24) will be my first time with a snowblower on the front of the T-25. It’s a bercomac 56”. I’ll let you know how it performs here in NB.

Great video. You can store the log stops and tie board in the cross members, keeps you from bending over and possible losing them in the saw dust.

Your channel just popped into my feed, I’ve had my WM 126 for eight years now, and learned a ton of things, some good and some bad, if you’ve done you research on them you likely know lots of things you should be doing to saw the logs, it’s the things that break down is when the frustrations set in. Over the years I’ve relied on many KZfaqrs that have been through the hoops, main thing is to love what you’re doing and have fun, good luck!

but I watched it. Good job friend. God Bless ! KennyMan living in forested Mindanao Island Philippines

sorry I can not hear you Kenneth Luckman MalayBalay city Phils.

I use steel pipe over the log stops when turning a log or cant. Never gets hung up on the stop. Are you using a wireless mic? What type? It sounds good.

Your logdogs are in the Bracket’s backwards they should stand straight up. Nice looking posts I’ll be watching you 👀

Clean your bunks and spray them with none stick cooking spray, the log will move easy 😉

If you want a hand, give me a call

As quite have suggested level the pith also try start sawing from the small end easier to determine what can be sawn from a log oh yeah I subscribed

I like what you're doing, in life as well as your videos. I can relate. Like you I'm finding my way in the youtube world. You're now 1 subscriber closer to the 500 milestone. That's 200 plus closer than me. Keep at it.

Use a laser level with magnet. Attach to the wheel door with beam at same level as blade. Then point it down the log and you can judge the height from end to end.

Looks like fun. If I could offer some tips. Usually when digging a trench/ drainage ditch you start at the water end first. But, not in the water. Leave yourself whatever amount of dirt you feel will hold up the water. Like a dam. Then dig away from that point. Wherever possible NEVER drive over ( straddling )a ditch you just dug. Always keep the ditch in front of you and you wheels on solid ground. When you’ve run out of backing room finish your trench buy digging at a 45*-90* angle 📐 to the ditch. It’s a bit more difficult but much safer. Then your last task will be to open the dam. Obviously there are situations where you’ll have to fully start without a dam if you can’t get back to that area. Plan your route carefully so as not to paint yourself into a corner sort to speak. Once you’re more familiar with your controls the more you’ll realize how much lower and longer you cam boom out especially for shallow ditches. Love that little tractor. God bless and play safe.

your can hook can be stored from your trailer axle to first leveler, out of the way to needed next no bending over to pick it up ........ oh pvc. pipe works well going over log stops saves time in turning log........ great white north ...........S

That's awesome! Good luck sir and I'm subscribing to you to see how much you learn!

you might want to get a strap to roll your logs with your equipment,it saves your back

hi there well done john

You should level the pith, that will produce better boards and possibly yield more.

Go by the center of pith

Good video. Thanks. Give us a water board look at end of video for the best boards please.
