Loved the video. Did not know there was a difference between a water oak and pen oak . 66 years old and learn something different every day and new. Thanks so much for letting me tag along.
That sure was a gentle roll. The Bus Motor had a belly ache. It is always good to see you and the guys at work. I wish that I was able. B J Thomas had a old song about rain "falling on his head".
@@jtseo6792 I wish Mark would show the most critical part of the process where the end product buyer gets fleeced for 6-tiimes the going price. That is the real art form at work here. j/k
I used about 500-550 gals. of diesel fuel weekly and I used than same additive in each and every tank all year long. I too, believed it helped immensely with engine performance....and I still use it in my home lawn equipment. It's worth every penny it cost!
I'm glad to hear the eye is healing well, Mark. That is great. Great news I'm still looking forward to the trip to the property. I'm hoping you get that in there. However, maybe I missed it. I don't know. I don't get to watch you as much as I would like, but it's glad it's good news to to know that you're healing it up. Well, best wishes, my friend.
I belive that several states have banned planting new pin oak due to the galls that wasps will form on them. In southern Indiana, folks couldn't cut them down fast enough.
I go with you and Pete with a pin oak and I drawed up every time that bus motor faded down a little. I think we used the same thing you did for fungus and gel in stuff. The pal with the flat belt mill got his fuel in 5 gallon cans and it had to settle a while. YAAY for the eyes! Blessings, Mark!
Mystery is the best! I never know what cool book matching I'm gona get till I slice it up! Sometimes a target chunk of wood is unremarkable on the outside, Then when it is resawn, WOW! I love those surprises.
I Had Catarac Sugery on both eyes, and it is remarkable on the clarity, However the intensness of colors was outstanding, for instyance Green is really green . My Vision is now 20/20 however i still need readers for reading. Tom
Glad to hear that the eyes are improving - it takes a while. We had thunderstorms and lots of rain the past week. It's getting noticeably cooler here in the Wye Valley UK.
My fuel dealer we had them put in an treatment for algae before he put it in our tank bet that was 4000 gallons but if we didn’t add it we had to change filters and that was expensive so hopefully the addictive you put in will cure the problem !!! Great job on the video s
yeah, pin oak makes better firewood than lumber IMHO. I also use the same additives in all my diesel equipment and trucks. Thanks for the vid. 👍 p.s. get well soon
Hi Mark. But. I NEVER seen green bark on " pin oak?" The grain is definitely pin oak. Thanks Mark. Say Hi to Ed, ZZ, & Hank. Have a good Monday evening the 23rd. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌳
😎😎👍👍✝✝mak'n something out of nothing!!!👌👌Had the same fuel problems as you...I was able to "suck out of the top half after adding new fuel but I always had 2 filters on hand and changed them right after re-fueling and had one if needed.
I knew what it was before you cut it! lol! Cats eyes all over it! I’ve cut a lot of Pin Oak and had my woods timbered out several times…love the smell of it…lol Just started watching you all and I’m enjoying the videos for sure!!
That looks a lot like American Chestnut that I saw down here in the south of Alabama but it is hard to tell with the camera if it is it sales down here like black walnut and the people that make rocking chairs love it and they will pay for a good board with no nots😊😊😊😊 but God Bless Y'all and have a blessed week and hope you get your eyes better soon
What we do is after a delivery we let it sit for a couple hrs. before starting equipment. It's pretty effective on 8000 gal. tank. If we don't, we can count on plugged filters.
With todays diesel it was good that you put treatment in the tank , the algae you mentioned is a filter killer , im not sure what it does to the oil - but fuel filter and oil filter and coolant filter changes is the best maintenance you can do to keep the motor purring along 👍🇺🇸
Of all the trees in our area. Oak is the least of them. When I was in FFA forestry team (in high school) we went to areas where we can see oaks of all kinds. I really can't tell much difference without leaves. Mechanical issues/fuel issues will pop up. Gotta have anti gel north of the Mason-Dixon Line for sure.
I'd say pin oak or scarlet - definitely in the red oak group. Thanks for this! I always enjoy playing 'guess the species' when I walk in the room after my husband starts the video. Do more of that! BTW, where do you get your logs? So often your have really punky stuff that looks like its been hanging around for years! Good luck on the property you are cutting.
Ya'll might want to think about putting a pair of Frantz filters side by side with selection valves, or just one filter, at the tank. The Frantz will take out everything including water. In stead of replacing expensive filters, just replace the roll of toilet tissue and continue sawing.
You might think of putting a pre filter on the supply line like you have on oil furnaces. It would at least get the bigger pieces. You might look into a new tank. They have a habit of rusting on the inside and every time you bump the tank some bits break loose. 😲❤️👍📹😃
I used to have the same problem when I had fuel oil heat at my previous house. Also, my eyes were 20/20 within a couple of days after my cataract surgeries. Bill
Half past nine at night that a nice pice of oak with some figure and curl in it two videos from mark and one from Eddie in the same night , I get two days off because the liquidators messed the warrant up so I get paid to be at home , gives me some time to do jobs at home ,,anyway you guys have a nice day
I used to work on commercial backup generator sets that also have big fuel tanks and also sit unused for long periods. Most of them had a sediment bowl trap upstream of the filter. Might help? Also, you should maybe look at an oil additive that actually works, called TufOil. Reduces friction which increases effective horsepower and improves fuel usage rate. Holds Guinness Book record for slickest known lubricant. I've used it for a long time with provable results.
drain the tank a bit to get the water out, should be a drain plug to purge a pint or 2. Don't want to be messing with diesel in the winter if you can help it but, it's your hands.
I know you've only been at this milling business for 30-40 yrs. but maybe it's time you should start thinking about getting some sort of 'Hardwoods Expert' onto the crew. You could even play up his/her title. Grandma saw the show and told me she "...Was sending me to your show because you said you salvege the worthless."
Loved the video. Did not know there was a difference between a water oak and pen oak . 66 years old and learn something different every day and new. Thanks so much for letting me tag along.
GREAT WAY TO START THE WEEK!! THANKS GUYS!!

Glad to see you are back milling with the crew!
thanks Glenn.

Hey Mark, I like the edging segments. It really completes the sawing videos. Seeing the whole process from log to stacked lumber is great.
thanks David.

Glad you got some rain. Sounds like it is a good one!!! ❤❤❤❤
it did come down heavy for a while.
Mark, I have heard of the pin Oak, but I couldn't tell you what it looked like until you went through it. But I'm learning, Skip
yes it's a low grade oak for sure.
I belive that several states have banned planting new pin oak due to the galls that wasps will form on them. In southern Indiana, folks couldn't cut them down fast enough.
That's biutiful Mark, amazing shades on those boards, wold make a fantastic table, thank you for the video bro

Mystery is the best! I never know what cool book matching I'm gona get till I slice it up! Sometimes a target chunk of wood is unremarkable on the outside, Then when it is resawn, WOW! I love those surprises.
it took a few slices to find out lol.
Beautiful grain pattern!
not bad for pin oak.
Wonderful grain on that log
I love the mystery! Ya never know what bookmatched panels can reveal ... lol
very true Doug and it never gets old.
That is some pretty wood. Glad to hear your eye surgery went well.That log could also be Scarlet Oak.
thank you.
Great video I like watching the edging. It is all good. 🙏👍🏻
thanks Barry.
Glad your eyes are doing well. Really enjoyed this video and the edger cam. 👍
thank you.

yes a big difference for sure , I do use my readers lol.
Good video Bus Motor Productions
You filmed this video on my mom and dad's 61st anniversary Bernie and Sally Fuller
tell them Happy Anniversary!
Glad to hear that the eyes are improving - it takes a while. We had thunderstorms and lots of rain the past week. It's getting noticeably cooler here in the Wye Valley UK.
thanks Norman , we haven't cooled off yet.
Hi Mark & Eddies & ZZ Mark & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mark & Eddies & ZZ Mark & Friends Randy
thanks Randy.
I like the grain in the log. I wish I could make something with it.
you sure could after drying.
Boom!
Greetings from a wet and soggy Durham, UK.
Greetings Mark.
Pin oak makes good firewood when you dry the slabs.
it sure does.

yeah, pin oak makes better firewood than lumber IMHO.
I also use the same additives in all my diesel equipment and trucks. Thanks for the vid. 👍 p.s. get well soon
Stuff you put in your fuel it's very good product always had good luck with it
it works great for the cold weather no gelling up.

yes it had us fooled.
Happy Tuesday Eve!😊

Well, having an almost empty tank seems like the best time to drain it and clean it out 🧐
not a good time for me after eye surgery it's all good.

How often do you drain the tank and clean sludge out of it? I am happy to see that things are getting back to normal for you
just one time it's very hard to pull the tank out of this building
That looks a lot like American Chestnut that I saw down here in the south of Alabama but it is hard to tell with the camera if it is it sales down here like black walnut and the people that make rocking chairs love it and they will pay for a good board with no nots😊😊😊😊 but God Bless Y'all and have a blessed week and hope you get your eyes better soon

I love it 😊

Looks like a nice scarlet oak
it did turn out to be a pin oak.
mark im glad your doing a live chat
I think it will be fun.
hi there that was fire wood oak , best to all john
thanks John , very true.
With todays diesel it was good that you put treatment in the tank , the algae you mentioned is a filter killer , im not sure what it does to the oil - but fuel filter and oil filter and coolant filter changes is the best maintenance you can do to keep the motor purring along 👍🇺🇸
yes that very true , it should settle out this week.
Great video Mark. Keep up the good work buddy
thanks Marc.
You seem to have some "extra bodies" that are not ever introduced. Or I can't count 😮

I really can't tell much difference without leaves. Mechanical issues/fuel issues will pop up. Gotta have anti gel north of the Mason-Dixon Line for sure.
we have over 20 species of oak here some look the same to me.
Pin Oaks are the only Oak species that don’t do well here in Indiana. I read our soil isn’t acidic enough 🤷🏻♂️
they do grow big here.
I'd say pin oak or scarlet - definitely in the red oak group. Thanks for this! I always enjoy playing 'guess the species' when I walk in the room after my husband starts the video. Do more of that!

thanks Don.
About 50 gallons of kerosene and I always kept multiple new fuel filters for the engine and the diesel tank
this will be ok now.
Happy to hear your eye surgery went well! Did you have both eyes done and what was the time span in between? Really enjoy your videos!
thanks Ashley , I just had my right eye done.
Looks like a pin oak..burns good and you want it dry before you bring it in the house. It smells like dog poop.
I did that once lol.

we have one on the tank it plugs up first.
I used to have the same problem when I had fuel oil heat at my previous house. Also, my eyes were 20/20 within a couple of days after my cataract surgeries.

yes a simple filter change will fix this.

It will make beautiful railroad tie

I never use fuel the same day I fill it up with fuel
this was a week.
Maybe water in your tank? Getting churned up from the bottom and dispersed in the diesel
I do drain the water separator often , I think it was sludge off the bottom of the tank.
drain the tank a bit to get the water out, should be a drain plug to purge a pint or 2. Don't want to be messing with diesel in the winter if you can help it but, it's your hands.
true.
It might be better to take the tank off and clean it and in future have a filter on the filler end as well as inline
Install a float in the fuel tank and attach the fuel intake to the underside of the float. The crude will never be sucked in again.
that would work.
You should change that out to a primary and secondary filters off a truck
that's what we have on it plus a tank water separator with a filter.
A gentleman I follow in upstate N.Y is a logger using draft horses. The bane of his logging is "red rot".

thanks Richard.
back in the day of oil heat, the oil company would come out every fall, and flush your tank. stopped doing that in the 70's.
that would be great.
Every time I put fuel ⛽ in my 555 D backhoe I put treatment in it. I don't have no problem with the running of the motor.
good idea we just need a new tank filter.
Sounds like your fuel injectors are gummed up.
no the engine is starving for fuel , we run injector cleaner in the fuel.
We call those "pin oaks"
They are a low-grade oak. We pay for pin oak the same as the black oaks.
They are a disappointment to the land owners.
yes for sure JB
Time to clean the bottom of that tank and change the filters
yes sir.

yes true.
I just cut up a pin oak for firewood and it looked verrymuch like the chunk you have on your mill there
it's great firewood.
@@markgalicic7788 Once it dries, it does not smell as bad either
I wish I could smell the oak!
very bad smell.
@@markgalicic7788 That particular log, or all of the oak logs?
🙋♀️🤸♀️🤸🤸♂️👍
Good afternoon sir
good afternoon John.
Guessed a little to quick, after a couple slabs turn out to be a pin oak
yes it did lol.
Hey Mark, Are those logs you cut are they green or seasoned?
they are green.
My son Brad said that he would recommended having the gas tank acid washed
it's a 275 gallon tank
Well, I bet this will be soon on Eddie's channel.
I think it's on now.
Bottom drain plug ?
no I need to put one in next time I clean the tank out.
If it has a pungent odor, it's a pin oak. Looks like pin oak also.
true.
I think pinoak is a cross between a pine tree and an oak
I like it lol!
👍👌👏
thanks.
I'd be getting a new fuel tank..
why? it's all good.
Do you guys ever do recovered from river wood?
no sir , they do that in the great lakes north of us.
Before you re fuel again my son would suggest emptying the garbage out of that fuel tank !!
yes true we may do that next spring.
Mark What is the thickness range for the trim saw?
it will edge a 4" thick board.
Dang, an old one. Anyone count the rings on that baby??
we still have a cut off piece.
Greetings from Brandon, Mississippi. What is the Magic Number you refer to? Love your videos.
The radius of the saw blade. So the blade can cut clean through the log.
thanks , yes my cut thru height from the head block base to the tip of the saw.
how about Chestnut Oak?
we still think it is pin oak.
Did you get a new fuel filter?
yes sir Steven.
It looks like there are two monkeys posing at the tail end of the fist cut.
that's funny lol.

How long is the loan for fuel very expensive nowadays
$2.75 a gallon now , it was over $ 5.00 a few years ago not bad.
