Get a TMK tree sheer with a delimber. It will do a lot of that process in one pass and its much cheaper than an actual harvester attachment.

search for online stair calculator. Enter in your height (don't forget it's the height from finished floor to finished floor.) It will tell you your exact angle after you put in your preferred step height/tread depth. There are minimum/maximum values for both. Also, where I live, that's too far of a run of uninterrupted stairs to meet code. Imagine falling down the whole flight. Not sure if you have inspections or if they will care, but I'd have to build a landing.

Outstanding and practical review! Considering a Bladerunner or a larger machine as my Cat310 is a little light for grubbing larger trees but is great for shear, brush cutting, and light dirt work. Definitely helps when you can get an honest review from a highly experienced operator! Option is to buy a good used dozer…

@@EssentialMountainHomesteading The Bladerunner is definitely an interesting concept. On the right kind of job it probably would work very well, but as you know, once you purchase one, reality hits home and if you misjudged the benefits and made a bad decision, it can take years to recoup the cost and straighten out your fleet. Definitely a happy new subscriber! I'm clearing trash trees from around my farmland, lots of Ash, Locust, Mullberry, etc. that are about 20 years past due.

@EssentialMountainHomesteading 5 ай бұрын
All wood is going to check / split as it dries out. The best thing to do is know what you are going to build and then cut and prep your wood for your project. It may mean you have to cut your lumber over size and let it dry and then come back and recut it to the dementions you need for the project.

I think this is one of the better Woodmizer videos I have seen. You make a lot of good, well thought-out points. I have been running my LT40 for about eight years. Before that I had had other people mill for me, but I enjoy doing it myself. I have milled lumber for siding ( pine and cedar), decks ( cedar ),barn frames and similar projects. I have over 50 yrs experience as a timber industry worker, and a carpenter, and agree with you there's a lot more to producing lumber than it looks like. Here in Northern California we have access to good quality timber...mainly from our own land.I love building with lumber I have milled, and seeing other people use it. When it comes to using your own lumber for framing a house, there are building code issues. They can be overcome if you want to do it, but it's a hassle. Milling your own lumber is not for everybody, and considering the expense of the equipment, and time involved it may not be worth it. But for creative people who love wood and building with it, there is a lot of satisfaction to be had!

You can use the offcuts as privacy fencing or wind break. Not as pretty as ordinary boards, but cheap and will last for years. I place used telephone poles in the ground, then two or three 2x4 pressure treated between those, then nail offcuts with 25-30% open spacing between them. The openings is to let some wind through to avoid turbulence and build up of snow behind the fence.

@@EssentialMountainHomesteading You need to have at least 20% openings between the boards, or else the wind will become turbulent and the wind break actually less effective. If you have roads that are prone to snow drifts, snow fences with up to 50% openings placed a certain distance from the road, will make the snow accumulate in front and behind the fence, stopping it from building up on the road.

Here in canada we are required to plane all 4 sides and have each stick inspected and stamped on all 6 sides by a licensed lumber inspector. The time required to plane all 4 sides and then handle each board for the inpsector to look at all 6 sides and this added expense made me go with lumber yard product. Inspector would be $1000 per day. Hiring two people to help move each board for the inspector $200/day each. Planing all 4 sides means running through the planer probably a dozen times each stick, 30 minutes per board ? I also have a 16 inch planer. Here on Vancouver Island a full truck load of fir logs is pushing $7000 + another $1000 to get it delivered. When I worked the numbers there was no savings left by going with milling ones own the economics just are not there. My old bandsaw style mill was purchased by my father and I back in 1984 it must have been one of the first ones. Very basic, everything is manually done, time consuming but it does work just fine.
