372xp is the best saw ever made. I put a new 85cc top end on it 10 years ago after I bought it and that thing with a 48” bar is a sawmillers best friend. My mill is on legs and I put a pump jack with a welded bar, in the middle of the track to jack up the smaller end and center the pith. That was a great upgrade. I wanna build an arm to hang over the mill with an atv winch to turn the logs. That will be a game changer. Turning a 40” log is a bear on the spine. I wish we had Douglas first in the north east. Such a great wood. No stress at all in those boards. Beautiful. Hate it when as you cut the board banana’s like Ron Jeremy and you realize you made high grade firewood.
I just checked my 372xpw. It says 75cc. 32" inch bar. A beast. And reliable as the tides. Yeah... an ATV winch deal would be cool. The Douglas Firs keeps me from 'Log Jammin'....At least I fixed the cable.
@OffGridandWhiskey everything's cheaper in China, except urban real estate in major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen... would love to send you a 72v / 15hp electric TDUB made in China. The electric offroad bikes are getting insane.
I wish we had logs like that here. I'm clearing 80 acers with 98% trash cotton wood trees huge and hollow. I have taken down like 300+ monster trees useless for lumber if it was all pine i would of had the biggest cabin in Alaska. One of the last trees i dropped was basically card board all the way up. So hollow I could crawl into it. The funny thing is the lumber your making is 100% better than anything at lowes up here. Alaska gets all the trash they can't sell down there. Lumber yard guys looking at trash grade f lumber awww just send it to Alaska they cant afford to ship it back lol. You wait 6 months for a lumber package and when it shows up its green and mostly knots than it dries/ warps like the dick on a dog. NICE WOOD BRAH :0
Talk about getting rim job'd without P Diddy lube! Sounds depressing. You inspired me NOT to waste an inch of wood! I've been dismissing certain logs for petty reasons. Gotta reevaluate my take on milling. Appreciate the insights. I'm too spoiled being surrounded by a Douglas Fir tree farm!
Finally! Fun video and some darn good production for the homestead! Good Job.
Lol. Yep. Non-stop milling production. Now it's about logistics. All this lumber stacking up!
@@OffGridandWhiskey A 20 ft flatbed utility trailer would be nice right about now.

You got a good eye, kid.
