Hope everyone has a great new year thanks for watching God bless!
Thank you!
Same as well fellow Human! God Bless.
Just a suggestion: your blades will last a lot longer if you don't drag the logs through the dirt first. Even then I hose down the entry side of the cut with good pressure prior to the cut. Love our Woodland Mills 126. This company rocks with the best support out there. Adding a tach helps tremendously. Cutting at the peak hp at 3600 rpm saves blades, clutches and time and gives you a smoother cut. đđđ
I always clean with pressure washer if I drag through dirtđ
Power washer?
@@zakbrinkhoff324 just good garden hose pressure.
@@zakbrinkhoff324Yes.
Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I like this company a lot, we got their 3-point stump grinder (non-articulated) for a GREAT deal direct, and that thing has been an absolute beast on our JD 4066R.
I think I knocked out 120 stumps in ~3 days initially (field clearing) and the teeth are still working, though I did but a spare set initially as well.
thatâs so awesomeđđđđ
Powder post beetles . They will be in your slabs unless kild dried or you make a set up to lay in and steam them out
Nice mill
Thank you for sharing, another great video with good explanation đđđđ
Very welcome
Yes! Been looking forward to seeing a new video from you!
Thank you nils I always appreciate you!
could you rotate the water tube to drop the water at the entry to the blade guides and maybe get longer life out of them?
Good idea I mite try that and see if it works better, thanks for the tip!
Awsome another video! Happy Birthday Darrel! 2,5k for that??, buying anything like that here would cost atleast 4k+tax+shipping (~tax for 4k would be 800 bucks!!), its crazy even the ads for this video are about buying a bandsaw mill haha. Mixing concrete on a trailer? I love it lol. Im glad you removed the bark, but id recommend to also wash the logs, iv bought a cheap pressure washer just for log washing, it really helps to keep the blade sharp for a long time. IMO it really does not matter, if its hardwood or softwood, aslong as the lumber is green, iv cut alot of green lumber on the mill and i really dont notice any difference between the different species of logs, but when i but a log that has been dead for years in the forest and all dried up, cutting that is hard, especially with a half dull blade. The mill is running great man. i wish you and your family all the best health and have a happy new year. Take care"! !
Thank you so much!! Iâve been watching your sawmill videos a lot and the pressure washer is a great idea! I think for the money it was a good buy and Iâll prob do some upgrades over time to it. If I felt better I would have built one but I like it so far. Check out the wipers on the wheels is just a peice of cable that wipes the saw dust off them and it works really good. Thank you for everything and happy new year !!!
Great video, thanks for posting. Just waiting for my HM 122 to be delivered. This helped. God bless.
Thanks, you too!
MM77 Approved đđŒđđŒâŠâŠâŠ.COOL!! I think the main thing you did right is pour a slab to put it on. Iâve been thinking about getting a sawmill and thatâs what I will do if I ever get one, if I could just stop buying motorcycles!! LOL!!
Hahaha I know the feeling!! thank you my friend!!
That thing is awesome! What gorgeous lumber as well!
thank u my friend!
I own a woodlander 130 max and ran a woodmizer lt40 for 25 years. Just a word of caution. I saw you put dish washer soap in the water blade fluid container. Don't get caught downwind of the spray or your eyes are going to be sorry. Plain water is best. Don't need to run it all the time.Just keep an eye on the blade for buildup. Good saw and made 100 miles from where I live.
thank you so much for the tip!! how are u like ing the 130max?
đđđ Hope we will see more.
Best regards luck and health.
I am working on a video now rebuilding the jetskis itâs taking forever though
I'm impressed! Cut through that timber no problem! Hope all is well, really glad to see your video pop up this evening!
hey Dave hope all is well Iâm still having heart troubles but I keep trying to push through the discomfort and pain to do what I love doing! thanks for watching and hope u and your family had a merry Christmas!
@@TheHomePros6221 Darrell I really hope you recover from that soon! All is pretty good here! Keep the videos coming!
@@TheHomePros6221 what kind of heart issues are you having? If you don't mind me asking. Im a long time healthcare worker.
I had a severe case of covid a year ago, I tested positive for over 2 1/2 months and barely made it through it, ever since covid Iâve been having bad pains in my heart and left arm goes really numb and hurts, my blood pressure skyrocketed..ect. The docs checked for clots and didnât find any. Iâm still having the same symptoms a year later, they put me on blood pressure meds which helped but still didnât fix the problem. Iâm still haveing heart pain, numbness, bad headaches, I canât sleep cause I hear my heart beating in my ears and sometimes it gets so bad it feels like my ear drums are gonna burst and bleed out, the arteries in my neck hurt from what feels like to much pressure or somthing. Iâve been to tons of doctors and they canât seem to figure it out đ but it feels like covid messed up somthing that controls my heart and feels like anyday I can have a heart attack itâs very scary and has changed my life âčïž Thanks my friend
@@TheHomePros6221 you're not the only one I've heard about with that after covid. Hopefully the research will catch up with it soon and theyll be able to offer you a permanent solution đ€
Ive been thinking about making my own sawmill just to convert some of my timber to cash. Would def need something that can pick up trees
I was gonna make my own also with the old golf cart frame but my health hasnât been the best so I bought one. itâs very useful if u wanna do production lumber the timber king is awesome but expensive. thanks for watching
Picking up an old 1940-1950 planer tomorrow
sweet I need one for my saw mill haha
Hope you are doing well, I ordered a woodlands, seems like a great company.
awesome!
Keep the content coming!
Thanks Matt!
Loved the formwork approach mate.
haha thanks
Impressive build! And love that excavator so usefull for every job!
Thank you so much!! And yes it is so useful I love it!!
â@@TheHomePros6221 what brand of excavator is that ?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
It was actually on dec.17 but thank you very much my friend!
@@TheHomePros6221 Hey ... on the day of the video, YOU said it was Your Birthday
Yes you are correct I recorded that part on the 17th though it took a few days to make this vid. I really appreciate the birthday wishes though!! And I hope you have a wonderful new year
Nice sawmill. I enjoyed the video.
thanks đ Glad you enjoyed it
I believe you are supposed to run it at full throttle . I have the 130 max that Iâm getting ready to assemble. Great video!
That is correct
thanks for watching my friend let me know how you like the 130! I kinda wish I would have got the 130 how much did it cost and what size engine did it come with?
@@TheHomePros6221 $6200 out the door. I bought the log Jack, spare parts kit and 10 extra blades.
Awesome man thatâs great!!
pretty cool
Thank u my friend
I like your mill
thank you đ
Very cool!
thank you for the great compliment my friend
Chinese factory do great job!
woodland mills isnât Chinese itâs a Canadian company all built in canada
@@TheHomePros6221 its Canadian brend But have build in China
Hello Darrel đ
Hey Iâm looking to buy a small portable sawmill, haha as you know I already own a sawmill, but Iâm looking for a small mill to take out to a remote little property a few hours from my house, mainly going to be cutting some cedar and Doug Fir. I was thinking of possibly buying the 9.5HP, I heard you mention about possibly thinking the extra HP could be good. I was thinking of the same model as you. Are you still happy with yours? For the price I cannot justify my time and effortâs to build another DIY sawmill at this point of my life. I hope all is well đđ
hey mike glad to hear from you!! in all honesty I think you will be disappointed with it compared to the mill that your used to, but if your just cutting a few logs here and there it mite be fine, if you do get it put a bigger motor or get the 9.5. at first I loved the mill but now Iâm wishing I would have got a woodmizer or another brand, donât get me wrong woodland mills have great support and all and they do make a good mill thatâs cheap but I have a few issues that are making me want a better mill or do some fab work to improve this one because itâs slow, it wobbles (prob due to the bed angle iron not being straight) I think the clutch is weak also. the mill you have at your place is awesome and this mill doesnât compare to yours however it will cut wood and you are a excellent fabricator so I think you could make it a much better mill by getting rid of the peiced frame and get like 20â long peices of angle iron for the bed, install a bigger engine and maybe a bigger clutch or somthing else, my main two issues are the bed and I think the clutch is weak even though mine hasnât really failed I also havenât cut a ton of wood either. basically if I could do it over I think Iâd spend a lil more money and get a woodmizer or a more professional brand. now others have had really good luck with their woodland mills saw like sawing with sandy but he has the bigger 136 saw. feel free to ask anything else I doubt I was much help though lol
mike I wrote all that and didnât read were you were cutting mostly cedar, my hm122 cuts cedar and pine like a breeze most of my issues are because I mainly cut hickory and oak. I think if thatâs what your mainly cutting is cedar then this mill will prob work fine for u
@@TheHomePros6221 I really appreciate your reply đ I completely hear you about all the topics you mentioned here. I definitely would get the bigger engine if I order one. I also see the small track frame being a weak point.
I was just looking for a simple small mill to load onto my car trailer with my tractor and mill some small logs, mainly soft woods. I do have my home made mill and man I was cutting a lot of cedar this last weekend, it definitely cuts good.
My friend and I went in half and half on a semi industrial sawmill late last summer, ( Used and needing a lot of work)
It has all hydraulic controls, I think itâs called a Timber Wolf? 25HP 2 Cylinder Kohler, with a 6.5HP for some of the bed hydraulics.
Itâs a monster but again we are re working the machine quite a bit because the company did some really bad engineering when designing it.
A lot of the hydraulic motor speeds are really strange, travel was way to fast, the head lifting controls were really slow. Re geared and changed a lot to make it better.
The big mill is at my friends place, he has a better spot for it and has a few forklifts to help load logs.
I think that mill should be ready to cut logs early spring.
Back to the Woodland mill, I will look around more for other small mills on the market but I honestly Iâm only planning on owning it for a year or two, finish up some milling projects out at a really remote place and then probably sell it. The place I will take it to is an hour drive to the nearest small town and the town doesnât have a lumber store so hence the small mill.
Take care and I appreciate your feedback about your mill. đđ
hey mike since your putting it on a car trailer and the bed being straight u should be fine and probably pretty happy with it also if your mainly cutting cedar and have the 9.5 hp Iâm actually thinking it mite be a good choice for u and u can prob sell it for close to what u paid when ur done, there also mite be a wait Iâm not sure but I think I waited 2 months to get mine but thatâs when lumber prices were crazy. is it a timber king? I never herd of a timber wolf, if itâs a timber king then those are supposed to be really good high production mills!! and really expensive to! donât let what I said shy u away from woodland mills itâs a beginner mill but itâs a decent mill for the price.
The excavator works good for loading the mill
Sure does đ
Smacked my forehead on that dashboard. Left a little bit of a mark. Lol
haha
Great video. Have you ever used a green line laser module as an alignment tool ?
no I havenât but I probably need to use one
@@TheHomePros6221 âââ , Thatâs actually our specialty. Most of our clients in the sawmill industry that operate the woodland mill or wood mizer use our green line laser module AGLL2 in a 20mw output power.
Iâd like to get one, how much are they?
@@TheHomePros6221 USD 139.00
Bought mine before they provided the adjustable feet. Had to build our own. You check out build on our Chanel if you want. We got the track extensions and have 24â. Nice workđđ»
awesome Iâll check it out and sub thanks!
Is it just me? I could've swore he said the concrete pad was level....why the wood cross pieces?
it was kinda moving on the Crete so I figured wood would be betterđ€·
Youâd figure they would have a plastic sheath covering the blade during assembly
I think they did I should have been wearing gloves, they actually give u a nice pair of leather gloves included
You need a little utility tractor with a cement mixer
that would be awesome
I have a small mixer for my jd 3005. I poured the floor in my forge shop with it
That almost sounds like an NC accent.
Actually from Ga/ AL
Bought my mill from princess auto $3000. 14 hp 26 inch log
nice
is it a woodland mills?
No princessauto mill just orderd 6.5 foot track extention
Can you drag it through more dirt, good lord
I pull all the bark off and clean it so it doesnât dull the blades
need some chickens to feed the grubs to
sure do lol
When do you cut , always disappointed with lengthy leading to actual titles activity.
huh?
how can i make a purchase? im from the philippines
contact woodland mills
More junk
I love junk but you also get what u pay for
Geez you are going to just plop that slab down, no gravel pad, or ledge under it? AnD you are hand mixing the concrete? Why? Dont they rent mixers ? I once mixed 8 yards with a mixer over a weeks time. It was a floor in a cellar to which there was no truck access. To use a pumper was too much $$. I did it in sections . The farther I got from the bulkhead and mixer, the less concrete I used. Ledge was underneath the cellar. I scrounged up alot of baseball sized rocks, wet them, put them in my section form and then put the concrete to it. I have a 22 by 6 foot slab under my mill about 5- 6 inches thick on ledge. We have no shortage of ledge in Maine. No shortage of rocks . The rocks i used came from plowed land when the lot was a farm. They had handpicked them and tossed them in a pile, which was handy for me. I wish I had those steel beams. they have many uses.This quite a how to video. Do you think the 9.5 hp is better? My old mill was a 13Hp Honda. It was fine.It makes a huge difference to have something solid under the mill. If you extend the track...
When I poured the slab I put a bunch of rocks in it, what is ledge? Never heard of it before. I have since made many improvements to the slab and built a roof over the whole saw mill. I like this mill but I kinda wish I would have spent a tad bit more money and bought a woodmizer and track extensions. The 7hp is fine but the bigger the better of course, thanks for watching
U@@TheHomePros6221 never heard of ledge? You are a lucky guy. Ledge is where the backbone of mother earth is close to the surface. In Maine the glaciers scraped most of the soil off and the ledge, usually granite is just below a few inches of dirt that has accumulated since. The outwash of the glaciers is Cape Cod, Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket .My place has thin soil most places. I put my barn and garages ,and mill on the ledge. it makes a solid base for concrete.It may also be prone to Radon. That is a problem..
Yes a Wood Mizer is a good saw but they are more than twice as expensive. I think the 7.5 Hp might be underpowered. My 13 HP Honda was ok. I think the upgrade on that was a 20 HP. My mill was a Thomas and in theory you could mill a 16 foot log as standard. In reality heavy logs were a problem. Handling them was not easy. Long logs were a pain. I think a 12 foot was doable.You usually put a slab on a gravel pad so you dont get heaving from frost. Good drainage is the key. On ledge is no problem with that. Scrap metal like chicken wire is not rebar. Its too thin and rots away quickly.. Like most people you are on a budget and u are lucky to have that little excavator. it cant do everything but it is handy. I used a tractor and bucket forks, Good luck. We dont have Hickory here.
@@kennkid9912 oh I see.. yes we donât have ledge here Iâm in Alabama we have clay and rocky soil and donât have to worry about frost as we donât get any snow here. That Thomas mill sounds pretty cool! Thanks for all the info my friend!
@@TheHomePros6221 what part of Alabama? My wife's family was from Haleburg,near Dothan
