I bought the same sawmill a few months ago. I'm really enjoying it. I had this same thing happen with the blade a couple weeks ago. But...Today I made a top beam for my sawmill shed. I have one extension and got a 5X10 at 18'1" in length beam. I also got three 1X12 boards and several half inch slabs from this log. I would recommend this mill to anybody. I love it.
Hey Tony, it was nice to meet you and your wife at the GIE+Expo, keep up the good work. You guys are good and humble people, knowledgeable, and great to talk about any topic. Thanks for your military service and the info that you put out here.
Nice pine. I like the diesel for the pine pitch. The worst I have is 'green' red cedar that is similar. My hands end up stained and black every time I'm in the woods dropping a few of them. I can imagine it too would gum up a set of bandsaw guides. Keep up the good work Tony !! Hahaha I had to come back and edit from Tim to Tony...My bad, I was watching another tractor guy named Tim just before....LOL
I haven't seen anybody change saw blade since I used to work for Alcoa Aluminum..they would cut Aluminum tubing for baseball bats. Thank you for sharing your video with us Tony.
Sawmill looks like running good with the new belts and blade. Wood looks like it has been planned with new blade.I noticed you broke out the crescent wrench on the sawmill. I think you been hanging out with Hank to long!!
Listen, Hank has been teaching me proper mechanic techniques! LOL. The Sawmill is dial in. My videos are out of order. The last sawmill video was actually taken after this video. I was ripping Tulip Poplar with ease.
I am really a big cut up off camera. I am Iearning to show more of it. I am always doing goofy things like this to make Tanja laugh. I think that is why she still likes me all these years later.
I just recently subscribed to your channel, and I'm really enjoying your videos! You've got great content and quality 👏 I recently started my own channel, and I've got a long way to go, but you are being a good mentor to me whether you know it or not! 👍
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you. The first step is the hardest. TH-cam rewards consistency also. Do 50 videos with at least one each week. You will get better and TH-cam will notice. God Bless
@@TonysTractorAdventure Thanks so much!!! I've already been approached by a product manufacturer to test some of their products and review them on my channel! Maybe I am doing something right? God only knows. Thanks for the encouraging words!
My Kioti isn't set up for a grapple yet but they sure look handy. Using my remotes for a hydraulic top link so need another set or a third function eventually. I'm a little jealous every time I see you use your grapple 😂
I have read a lot about the diesel but I can’t bring myself to use it. I use windshield wiper fluid in my tank and every so often I spritz the blade with goof off. It does well. I have nothing against anyone using it on pitchy woods. I just can’t really due to my own eco-policies. Before I discovered the bug shield and goof off I hated pine, but I needed my own lumber a few years ago and forced myself to do it. It’s still not my favorite and I tend to let the logs sit so I can peel the bark. (No debarker and the grinder method is just a mess.) It smells terrible when I cut it but it’s easier on my blades and I get a lot of blue pine. The look isn’t for everyone but I encourage spalting on a lot of logs so it seems to stay in strategy for me. Your mill belt tension is interesting. Mine has a hydraulic ram and blade guides that makes my life easier. Hope your fix stays!
This Southern Yellow Pine pitch was killing me. I tried pine oil in the water, but nothing works like diesel. I do get diesel on my gloves and pants when I operate. The wood loses its diesel smell in a few days. With diesel, a little is better than a lot. I still have to tweak my drip system. The sawmill is spot on. I should be good for another good run.
@@TonysTractorAdventure very glad to hear it. It looked pretty smooth in the video and glad it stayed that way. If I ever have to do a load of personal lumber in a hurry I may try the diesel. I collect my saw dusts by species so I’d have to put down a tarp or something and put that in a special fire pit or give it to the Ex for his flower beds. No veggies. The only other wood I seem to have the same gummy issue with is fresh maple. Different kind of residues and I only had straight water in the tank. Btw, I like your grapple design better than mine on my 47. It doesn’t have as many top teeth-only two instead of three on each arm. Makes grabbing smaller stuff a bit of a pain. Less finess. The shape is different too and my mill rails have withstood my less than intelligent log placement a few times. I tend to bend my log stops if I am not careful because I can’t see them. We all need to do well like Nathan and upgrade and upgrade some more! I wouldn’t know how to act with all those hydraulics and computers. 😂 Well… back to sharpening my all my blades. I like the look of whatever you are building. When you’re done, come to FL and build mine! 😝
All seriousness, I will not worry about drying it fully. I will use Fast2K to seal the base in the ground. It works as the concrete and seals the wood. I will stain above ground. It should give me 15 years or so. Maybe more.

I have mine dialed in. I wished I had gone bigger, but it does everything it is rated for.
Shes cutting good now! Excellent setup you got there. Thanks for taking us along.
I have it dialed in now. Spot on!
That went crazy fast! lol Glad it was just a loose belt. Pole barn is coming together. Have a good one Tony! See ya!
Yes sir. When it popped, I lost a few pounds.
Growing pains! I feel ya buddy!
Yes sir. Growing pains!
Good to see the sawmill back up and running. 👍 Great work, Tony, keep it up! 🚜
It is dialed in well. I will be out there the rest of the week ripping purlins.
Good video sir, glad to saw dust flying, I’ll be sawing some pecan tonight and man that smells good
I have never cut Pecan. Heck, there is a lot I have not cut. I am learning more each and every day.
@@TonysTractorAdventure it is really hard and tough on blades, if you need help on the pole barn I would come up for a day and be glad to help
Hey Tony, it was nice to meet you and your wife at the GIE+Expo, keep up the good work. You guys are good and humble people, knowledgeable, and great to talk about any topic. Thanks for your military service and the info that you put out here.
It was a pleasure to talk with you too. We met so many cool people at the show. Thank you.
👍🚜💨 watching now!
Thank you

Thank my friend. It will get funky fast without diesel.
I haven't seen anybody change saw blade since I used to work for Alcoa Aluminum..they would cut Aluminum tubing for baseball bats. Thank you for sharing your video with us Tony.
It happens often in the sawmill world. I will go through a blade about every 6th log. They can be sharpened up to 10 times.
Thanks again Tony an Tanja. It's cutting peachy, only need one bad tooth to make a cut look ugly.
After really inspecting the other blade, it was bent from the first time it popped off. The mill is spot on now.
Lots of similarities to the Woodland Mills, looks like a good mill. Happy Sawing!
I think they are made by the same people. Both are imported. Still, they do the job.
You have a amazing set up
It is coming along. I need to finish the sawmill barn up and the big pole barn. There is not enough time in the day.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I hear that my friend if only we could clone ourselves

Keep it up, I makes for good watching! Veterans day coming up, I'll say thank you for your service now, it means a lot to me.

I really enjoy the grapple for what I do. It is so worth the cost.

Tony, do you have any trouble with sawdust building up on the carriage rollers?
Since I started using, it diesel has kept everything clean.
How do you dry and treat your post lumber for ground contact
I buy it at Lowes.😁
All seriousness, I will not worry about drying it fully. I will use Fast2K to seal the base in the ground. It works as the concrete and seals the wood. I will stain above ground. It should give me 15 years or so. Maybe more.
I would have parked my truck farther away
Not a terrible idea.
