We are having 60 degree days in February. I bet March is cold.

[@markhampton3599]

So glad you up graded the motor !!! So much better !! Thank you !!!

Good to see the sawmill running again 👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yes indeed!

[@genewileyopa]

Strong sounding Engine. Love the way you gabber when your working. Gismos tail got broke, can't point it up anymore,. Cracked me up. Sorry my mind wondered on me. Thanks for sharing, Iowa is watching at -6 this morning

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Gene, I am right there with you with the Gizmo dog. His tail is all better now. We are getting an ice storm today. I hope the power stays intact.

[@genewileyopa]

@@TonysTractorAdventure We Pray it does. Be safe.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Man! That worked great! It just flies through that wood, knots and all. You did a great job with it Tony! Have a good week my friend! See ya!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you John. I have done the finial tweaks, and it is even better now. Tony

[@Bodhranarama]

Savage mode unlocked Tony! Gizmo gonna need extra love & chicken strips till his tail gets better. Tanja, as always, thanks for being a great helper, gofer and camera operator.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We have tweaked the sawmill even more. It is even better now. Gizmo has learned exactly where the Chicken Strip store is located. He gets excited as we pull up. None of this would work if it was not for Tanja. She is the glue that holds it all together.

[@davida.p.9911]

Get well soon, Gizmo! 🐕 The sawmill is a powerhouse now!! Good work Tony! Ya'll stay safe in this next winter storm that's coming...it's supposed to be a doozy. 🌨🌨

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. You all stay warm too. I love how fast the sawmill cuts. Much better.

[@jimfriday4909]

Awesome video. Like how you share “been there done that “ style. Thank you for sharing.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am not afraid of failure and that is a good thing. 😇

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

You've got the engine running great. Glad to see you back on the mill. That's the same size engine on the OS27. Couldn't imagine being smaller. Great video again.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I really thought about putting a 22hp v twin on the sawmill, but that would have been so much of an over kill.

[@timothybrawley7909]

Hey man! Good to see you on the sawmill again. Another thing, some guy on another channel had purchased a motorcycle lift and was using it for a toe board. It was flat and scissored up. He used an cordless impact to use it. It was fast and worked great on his woodland mills sawmill. Look into it. It might just be the ticket. Like your hot rod mill. Tim

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I will look in to it. Thank you.

[@richardglandus1576]

Bonjour Tony Je vous remercie pour cette vidéo La scie fonctionne à merveille, Les planches et poteaux sont très beau. Nous apprécions beaucoup votre travail 👍😀 Merci de continuer. J'adore aussi votre chien 🐶. Il est très affectueux

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Merci. Nous profitons de la vie. Construire notre rêve est un travail difficile, mais le voyage est la meilleure partie. Gizmo se fatigue de temps en temps, mais il est le premier prêt à partir le matin.

[@FabbedFun]

That engine just roars through the wood. Very impressive! Great video!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It just keeps getting better. We have tweaked it little every time we use it.

[@donwilliams169]

I really like the mill is something that would work well for an older person like myself.very good job on the video thank you

Nice video Tony. I’ll take some of that 60 degree weather. It’s been below zero here for a week.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We are having a warm February which means bugs in the spring.

[@jamesdaves7680]

I did this years ago with a Chevelle. I fully understand the need to put more motor to it brother.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I almost put a 22 v twin on it, but that would have ripped the sawmill off the tracts. It would have been something to see!

[@ns4wsm]

Engine upgrade made big difference!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It does. I think I am on the right path now

[@HomesteadJay]

Good stuff Tony!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you brother

[@Mountaintoptractor]

Hi Tony, love the channel! Question...have you considered taking a burlap bag and zip tying it to the saw dust exhaust, would it work? Reason I ask is I frequently see people buying and selling saw dust on market place and craigslist. If it worked it won't make you rich, but might buy a tank of fuel.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We use it in our garden

[@morgansword]

Tony, right under your nose is jacks for leveling the mill and under the hood of most old trucks were screw jacks. I would bolt a jack to a flat piece of metal, that reaches either side of the mill rails and would stand upright with a piece of metal tack welded to the top of it. Set it between the rails and then jack those logs up as much as you want to make the taper of the log in your favor. A old drill or whatever to run the jack up and down for easy but those handles work good too. Just remember to run back down after your cut is made on the one side. If its portable then it would work on either end but one on each end shouldn't be too hard to find under the hoods of old trucks or harbor freight. I think with a little studying, you could make it so it will fold out of the way or raise when needed. I wish I knew what breed of dog it is that you have as I have the brother in brown and white... right down to the loyal loving dogs they are... very smart... Mine is a wide glide model as he see's food and he can eat all of it straight away. As long as you keep good tension on the blade, they seldom dive or wander off the line.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

All great ideas. I have something in mind, but my pole barn build is center stage right now. I need my shop done.

[@deanbarr5740]

That new engine even sounds like a Power House. Sounds like a Hemi I used to have in a Dodge Ram, it too was a power house.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It pulls through Oak great. More video soon.

[@timothybrawley7909]

Hey! I like your videos. Just a word about the t-shirt contest. I thought of this. If you read this, this is what I come up with. If you need to cut a biggun, do it on a sawmill!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

You got me laugh.

[@jaimelago8941]

Hy Tony from PR 🇵🇷

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Hello, my friend.

[@michaeltrachbrodt5622]

When you changed the motor what did you get for a throttle linkage?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I used the linkage system that came with the engine.

[@thomasbooth9079]

That’s a good size engine for that mill, should go through anything you can put on there. The 14 horse on my hm130max works hard on large oak (24”) but gets the job done. Smaller stuff isn’t much of an issue.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I agree. With the size we can put on, this mill screams through.

[@exploringplaceshistoryantiques]

You talking about your weight reminds me of what My dad would say “I can tell you are on the level, because your bubble is in the middle”

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I love that. 😁

[@kennkid9912]

pine is especially vulnerable to worm damage. You cant leave it sitting around. In mills they keep it wet with sprinklers. You can debark logs too. better to cut the tree and saw it. Winter bug damage is low. Saw in the snow. Some body gave me some pine logs. The ones at the bottom of the pile were pretty riddled. You may have a use for this wood, like concrete forms.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The worm to eat this pine up. It was dying while standing.

[@stubblejumper3125]

Back before the earth cooled, Chevy used to use 2 throttle return springs on some of their high HP engines.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yo tony! Did u ever put together a video of the mods? I saw the one where you cut a hole for the higher driveshaft on the new motor, but nothing else.

[@articmars1]

I wish some one like you would come down here after after a hurricane and process the trees. They just chopped up and put in a politicians brothers pasture. The public dont even get access to the chips. At least thisway the wood could be used to help rebuild instead of being wasted. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wood was wasted.

[@kennkid9912]

You need to build yourself a brow. You put the logs on that and roll them gently onto the mill. You have a temp thing to bridge from brow to mill. then you take the temp bridge off. The hydraulic mills dont make doing this worth while. They are super expensive. Their production is not that much more. My Thomas mill had a 14HP Honda as standard. It was good enuf. 7 Hp is lowish.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Not me. I like being able to get the tractor close. It is a portable mill, so I don't want to get it hemmed in. Still it's not a bad idea.

[@kennkid9912]

@@TonysTractorAdventure The brow is only on the side. you have a bridge piece between it and the mill. You load and take the bridge piece away and then saw. . The brow lets the mill stay mobile. Your mill is more deluxe than mine was and higher with adjustable legs. I duidnt want to hit my mill and knock it out of level. Good luck. that log looked pretty past it.
