I just got my diy custom trailer built a couple weeks ago….now time to put my mill together and mounted on the trailer. It’s been in the crate in my shed for over a year!
Did you consider keeping the cribbed area only as wide as the mill? That way you could walk on the ground and wouldn't have to bend over all the time. Load with forks or grapple from either side.
Yes this looks like a back breaking endeavor , and I dont believe a stone base is best unless elaborate conveyer system for sawdust is worked in to it.
We do load it with the tractor for the bigger logs. Cedar is a lighter wood so we can just carry the smaller ones. When we are done, the mill will be at least a foot off the stone foundation. I would have preferred cement but it's not as cheap as stone.

We are finally filming today on the sawmill so keep an eye out for a video on it soon... Waited months to cool down and it's hot again anyway.
Good video... wish i had my tractor when we put the head unit on..😮 4 guys to lift it into place. Subscribed
It definitely takes more than one person to get it done, even with a tractor.
I wonder if the nice red might stay if you immediately put some oil on the wood after cutting?
I doubt it... It's a UV light thing. Most UV coatings are not clear so they ruin the color... Keep it in the dark and it stays red...
@@springhollerfarm8668 OH - its UV! I didn't realize that. Too bad - as you indicated, not an easy thing to protect from without covering.
Green text over green grass nice job
I wish they had some way to make it contrast to everything but for now it's gonna be hard to read somewhere on there.

The sawdust is an issue we have discussed. Maybe some plywood under it to help make it easier to clean out?
Could just push it a little further after the cut and wouldn't have to raise it so much before the next cut, if you took the board then??
Yes, we could. My mind just got stuck on the idea of backing it up first.
That mill is WAY too low for me...but, it is your mill!
Once we get to cutting, we are going to use some of the cedar for rails to raise it up.
