Hand held Metal detector will help you pinpoint the metal. Last one I found was a nail. I was able to core drill it out. Took an hour 😂. Ended up using that hole for wire pull in a desk top. Saved my length. If you don’t need full lengths then I would definitely do what you suggested cut that part off get some shorty slabs move to the next one. !! Can’t wait to see what kinda projects you come up with, with that beautiful looking wood. Stay safe my guy. !!
Lucas: save some big thick stuff for table legs. You will have some really nice tables there. One for each household. Total of 3. Lucas, I have been outside enjoying God's creation. Lots of snow and more coming down again. Can't wait for summer. Take care and stay safe.
Ah, yeah, so what I’m referring to is how the blade rides on the wheels under the cover so you wouldn’t be able to see it. I usually check it off camera. Good question! 👍
Congrats on the new TYM! Does it have auto throttle, or what some manufacturers call Linked Pedal? I've found it so helpful when maneuvering slowly and making very precision loader movements. My first Kioti CK had it and I used it 95% of the time. I have now upgraded to a Kioti DK and it did not come with this feature, and I quickly realized just how handy it is.
As someone who changes band saw blades frequently, there is a safer way to "open" them. Start pulling the blade apart until it starts to want to open on its own, quickly spread your arms apart while throwing the blade away from your body. It will open and land on the ground and you won't have as much of a chance to get cut. Just an idea
I've been looking at these wood Mills for a while since they've showed up I'm just on the fence still I need to get something for the 30 Acres I have I've always been wanting to Mill my own hickories and Maples now that I retired but I just can't make the decision
Nice tractor but boy oh boy they don't give you much room for your fingers or anything else in them tires and fenders do they be safe out there have fun
I did. I don’t always check every cut but I was checking this log occasionally and even after hitting something it didn’t pick up. You’ll see why in a week or so…
I couldn’t get mine to pick up what was in this log even after I hit it and knew where to check. You’ll see why when the discovery video comes out. Lol
if you had a quick connect on the rear of the tractor you can do cheap ballast by chaining a log to the hooks of the quick connect get it big enough to outweigh the box blade also the upper hook makes a good pulling point when you have the quick connect on lower it over the log chain and go

Yeah, I have a cheap little metal detector, and I used it some, but it never went off. When you see what is in there, you'll see why!
@ Oo boy. !! Yea some of those cheep MDers can’t read more then 1/2” into sand.
Your videos are so informative. You helped me decide on ordering a mill. I ordered the mechmaxx 22. Thanks for your honesty!!
Nice! Congratulations! Hope you really enjoy it.
Nice job
Thanks!
That log is a beast. Glad you got it handled. Ull be glad once you get the tire ballast
Absolutely! It is going to make a huge difference.
that was some beautiful wood and the best looking tractor around as well. that tractor just looks tough. its beefy looking. i love it.
Yeah, I am really happy with it. Thanks!
Looks like fun man! Great work
Thanks, Man!
Love that you got inside the log and saw The Creator. Nice job. Waiting for a SM 26 right now.
Awesome! Keep us posted on how you like it!
Great video as always! Make sure when stacking the lumber that your stickers are wider than the boards. Nice work on these big slabs!!
When I was watching this video back I was hoping someone would tell me if that’s an issue. I wasn’t sure. I was just using what I had handy…
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead It is, and please level the ground before stacking. Your boards will take shape of the uneven surface
Great stuff, Lucas 👏
Thanks! I appreciate the support!
Man that's a big chunk of wood! Interested to see what you make out of the slabs!
Me too! I think they are going to be beautiful.
Lucas that was great! That’s the mill I plan to get in the spring. Great to it in action.
Nice setup you got there!
Thanks! That mill is a beast!
Very nice looking slabs Lucas, great video!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! This log was a LOT of fun!
That’s some beautiful slabs you got there. Would make a nice epoxy table. I’m sure you’ll figure out what to do with them. Good stuff. God bless.
I’ve got some time to plan while they dry…. Thanks for watching!
We enjoy your content. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much! I'm having a blast making these!
Awesome video
Thank you!

God’s creation is beautiful, including the snow, but I’m ready for summer too! 😊
If the forks you have for the rear of your kubota will fit the rear of the TYM you might be able to use 1 of your wood totes for balilist
Yes! The problem is that they are the forks that are currently on the front. 😂 We are going to fix that soon!
Hi Lucas and Caden and Maple. Wow those slabs are beautiful, I would like a table from them, but I have no where to put anything that big. Blessings
Thanks! Yeah, I’m not sure what we will end up making but they sure are pretty!
Lucas, you look great operating that tractor. I thought you had a metal detector? God Bless
I do! It didn’t pick up anything. You’ll see why in a week or so! 👊
you can't hide the smile from you using that new tractor 😅
I cannot! I love it!
Good morning Lucas
Good morning!
This is easier to see something like the blade tracking backwards in person then on video? Because I saw nothing. Just curious. Keep up the good work.

It does and I love it! I had no idea how nice it would be.
Do you have somewhere to send your blades to have them touched up and reset? If not, i know of a place that does that.
I don’t. Who do you use?

Fyi when you sticker your slabs the stickers need to be wider than the slabs not only for stability but it will also help keep the slabs flat
Thanks!

I have a discount code in the description. They are well worth the money! 👊
I'm surprised that your tractor dealer did not take care of filling your tires
They would have. We already had an agreement with a brand to take care of it. We are working out that content…
Nice tractor but boy oh boy they don't give you much room for your fingers or anything else in them tires and fenders do they be safe out there have fun
Those are the 16.9x24 tires you can get them with 17.5s if you want more clearance. I wanted as big of tire as I could get.
If only you had fluid in your tractor tires…
Right? 🤷🏼♂️
Try a metal detection
I did. I don’t always check every cut but I was checking this log occasionally and even after hitting something it didn’t pick up. You’ll see why in a week or so…
You need to invest in a metal detector cause it will save plenty of blades and this will pay for it self in time
I have one. It didn’t pick anything up. You’ll see why in a couple weeks. 😊👍
A cheap metal detector to narrow down the area then cut it out.
I couldn’t get mine to pick up what was in this log even after I hit it and knew where to check. You’ll see why when the discovery video comes out. Lol
if you had a quick connect on the rear of the tractor you can do cheap ballast by chaining a log to the hooks of the quick connect
get it big enough to outweigh the box blade also the upper hook makes a good pulling point when you have the quick connect on lower it over the log chain and go
I am getting close to getting the ballast issues take. Care of. Stay tuned!
