When leveling the mill from side to side, I place boards in front of the low side tire and pull the mill up to level (before disconnecting from the tow vehicle). The wheels are an important part of stabilizing the mill.

[@krukab77]

Haahhaaaa! Loved the “thank ya” in the background after every board!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Great video. I am about to install a trailer on my Mill which makes it portable but since it doesn’t have a hydraulic lift on it, I’m gonna have to have a machine on the other end or set something Being able to take it with you is great, but it’s not without problems

[@Trdbrglr75]

We’ve all been there. Have to have the rough days to appreciate the good days.

[@mstrickk1]

That thing is incredible! I like home made ones like Kris Harbour's and the like, but this thing with the flipper upper, the roller overer, the tipper upper and all these extras, my god.

[@levilambert8068]

Ok not gonna lie the many "thank ya" got me🤣

[@dmcalais]

Josh, you need a choker they use it in the logging is slip the cable around OK in the class and then hook your end of your cable on your tractor whatever way you go and pull the whole log one shot

[@scottsmith6846]

Hey Josh thank you for the video woo

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. NATHAN ELLIOT AT OUT OF THE WOODS SWEARS BY THE BLADES HE GETS FROM JOE MAINE IN SOUTH GEORGIA. NATHAN USUALLY HAS JOES PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN HIS VIDEOS. WOOHOO.

yep...me and Nathan talk all of the time...he's a good dude!

[@westvirginiaminer3046]

Whoever parked the mill not inline with the logs is the issue IMO

[@leonardleveque3745]

I'm betting it was Kurt Henning.

[@downtoearthconstruction]

Curt Hennig “Mr. Perfect” 😂

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

why would I show you a pile of logs not properly placed? The mill was there, the logs were place wrong....however..I think you're missing the message here....nobody that watched this video will ever stack logs wrong in front of a sawmill...it's an educational moment...now..if you'd like me to "FAKE" that everything is perfect or make up fake drama...you've got the wrong channel. I show ya the mess ups so we can all learn from them.....I think that's the right thing to do...would you agree? Or would you rather just watch some fake History Channel junk? HMmmmm...tell me if ya wanna see the mess ups or not?

[@westvirginiaminer3046]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I think you took my comment to personal, didn’t mean any disrespect, I love your authenticity, my thought was why didn’t you just move the mill back the 10’? It wasn’t leveled yet or setup in any way. Just seemed to be an easier than moving 15 logs over. I didn’t understand why they didn’t stack the logs right beside the mill if it was already there.

[@downtoearthconstruction]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I don’t mind seeing the bloopers pal heck sometimes it’s the best way to learn because you’ll never forget your mistakes although sometimes it can be an expensive lesson learned. Heck just the other day I was loading a dump with my 300A Bobcat with firewood and wouldn’t you know a dang piece fell off the backside of the bucket and took out my window. I even broke the aux quick attach ram by getting stuff lodged in between it. We all have fudge ups you can be upset but all you can do is laugh at yourself in the end. Takes to much work imo to be a Negative Nancy.

[@terresiagregg9326]

Glad you got it where you could saw the logs always something goes wrong on the farm but good learning lessons have a wonderful day

[@rickproctor5896]

There is just something about watching that sawmill run that makes me want one for our farm

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Sell it and make money after ya use the mill. These mills actually appreciate in value!

Josh, putting your helpers “thank you” randomly in there is the funniest damn thing I’ve ever seen you do…. Gold

[@jfthesky1284]

I liked the first part where everything seems to go wrong. Makes me think of myself, when you think it’s gonna take an hour and then your still after it the next day 😅.

[@WideCutSawmill]

Sounds like my great grandpa would tell you the same thing thing he told my dad and my dad told me. “Son, if you didn’t have something hanging between your legs, you’d forget to put your pants on in the morning.”

Thanks for the great content, Josh! Including the do’s and don’ts Just Say’n 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@donmajkol2856]

Here is a suggestion, make a tool kit/parts box that stays with the mill/equipment. It should have the common tools, maintenance items and spare parts. i.e. common bolts that may break ect.

[@Loosesapphire5135]

Love the mizer ! I owned the lt20tr for years. Sawed TONS & TONS of gorgeous wood.

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

if you look to your rear while you were strugling to lift the swa mill , there is a place tp move fron crank jack to.. that is how you lift each end.

[@larryparish5984]

I believe more than a couple years ago I suggested figuring out where you wanted your sawmill operation, pour a slab, set your mill & then mill the lumber to build a poll barn over it. Much easier to bring the logs to the mill when it is set up in a permanent location. But I won't come right out & say "I told you so" 😂. Have a great day 😊.

[@TerrorTubbie666]

I think a lot of things have been suggested in the comments in the past couple of years. So it's about time someone is right about something!

[@bubbakemp5817]

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I field over 1000 comments a day....these comments tell me all matter of ways to "fix" my world....some I take into consideration...some I don't...but none are taken well when spoken unkindly. Please be kind...I dont' deserve to be talked down to for sharing my life with ya

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

larry....my brother.....all in good time buddy....I have a bunch of projects lined up right now...and I agree 100% with ya...pour a $10k slab and put it under a shed...but I've gotta build up the $$$ and do this in good time...you'll see it soon...I promise...and you'll love what I do!!

[@larryparish5984]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer not my intention to talk down to anyone. Slab & pole barn would only need to be large enough to hold & cover the saw. Could be expanded to later. Just a thought 🤔. Have a great day 😊.

[@ricks2907]

Two steps forward one step back. Hop hop hop. Bahahaha thanks Josh

[@markveale6806]

What a pain, But better to bust off a few bolts than rip out a piece of the chassis if it was welded on. By the way don't feel bad anyone who tows a lot messes up now and again.

[@petermavus4131]

Hope you don’t wind up in a “ van down by the river “ (Chris Farley - motivational coach) Loved the sawmill road-trip.

probably pay less taxes if I did!!! Shew...vid coming soon about darn taxes!!!!! The county is taxing me on this mill!!

[@RoundTopRanchWY]

not one did I see your helper on his phone. nice job.

[@denishrovat3464]

Very nice video

[@SLCOutdoors]

Hi Josh, I saw the rust on some of the shinny parts, it's not a big deal as you already know, but I know you do keep your things in good shape. If you take some water and a piece of aluminum foil, it will shine up like new!

[@phillipthewise7758]

Did you park the sawmill, or did your friend put the wood there after you parked it? Use this situation as experience if you do this mill move again. Organized lol

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

mill was there several days as they piled up the logs

[@KPVFarmer]

Beautiful property!!!

[@kdegraa]

Sounds like it’s best to build a shed, put the mill in the shed, set the mill up, and then work out the best way to bring logs to the mill.

[@DawnRedwoodGroves]

That's how i do it. That said i bought a sawmill that wasn't portable so i couldn't go to customers property.

[@codybarker3033]

Hey Josh, you may have answered this already but have you ever milled locust on the Woodmiser? Love the mill videos.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

no sir.....it's way way too hard and totally not worth milling

[@Ragecon87]

River or even a strong year round creek is my biggest goal for buying a place to start a farmstead

[@sappir26]

Nice machine. A must have. 😍👍

[@gregfuller4318]

I got the screw jack for my woodmizer a lot better than the ones u have .had them first then changed them out

[@floydcalkins3298]

I notice you let the blade spin a lot when not in wood. Band blades have a flex life. You spin them too long between sharpenings..theyll crack and break prematurely.. you wont get the sharpenings out of them. Just a tip I thought id pass along to my buddy Josh.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

clutch on the mill is more expensive than the blades...but you do make a great point Floyd

[@garyduquette1784]

Brother give the hat back to the cow that was chewing on it and get a new one. Reminds me of he haw. Gloom despair and agony on me!!!!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol

[@tb7280]

It is going to be 101 with about 100% humidity in south Louisiana today. I wish we could be 88...lol

[@donmartin7728]

Did you give your helper a chance to run or learn to run the mill? Or, had he experience already or just not interested?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

nope....he didn't run the mill, and probably had no interest, we did talk about the logs, how to cut them, how to stack the lumber and how to sticker it for drying...the mill is something that takes a long time to learn and you need to read the logs....we did talk about what I was doing as I was milling for sure...he's most certainly gained some knowledge

[@mavencrypto5089]

Should have checked alignment during the 2 hours of setting up, leveling, changing blade on the mill.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

mill was positioned prior to the logs....not gonna take it down and set it up again...we just moved the logs...however this was a good lesson for folks to know....this was educational...now everyone that watched knows how to line up logs to go on a mill...that's the message here...not how to fix it...how not to have this problem is the message brother

[@davidmack7018]

Josh pretty great production day, well done.

[@A..n..d..y]

If you can move the log by hand it’s too small. You also need a nice 6 foot cant hook. Fine adjust outriggers are better if you can afford them, about 8 years ago they were about $1200.

[@birddogbriar4335]

Can those blades be re-sharpened, or are they a 1 shot deal?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

they can be resharpened multiple times

[@James_Innes]

I'm wondering how many blades you used for the 15 logs.

[@anandrew6641]

1

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

8 blades on this project if I remember correctly

[@joenorman7070]

Who parked that sawmill?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

me...and then they brought in the logs my friend....clearly

[@dannymoore7835]

Next time tell them to bring the wood to you lol 😂

[@edgambino4619]

Did you find out what that extra piece was for

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

nope...taking it in to woodmizer in a week or so

Josh left handed people use both sides of there brain 🧠 look it up im one of them . Josh write a list up at night what you need to have on your next day you will be happier 👍🏻🇦🇺💯.

[@ashleywelborn9644]

The " Log Issue" really isn't the end of the World. Maybe going over before and looking over where the mill would be set up and explains how it might work best would help. Relax and enjoy what you are doing . Be Greatful not Grumpy. . In the Grand Scheme of things it ain't no big deal. If you had acted like that on my Farm I would had just said " Hit the Gate".

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol....yep...in the grand scheme it's not that big of a deal...just took us an extra hour of back breaking work lol....the main reason I share these things is so that folks watching will learn from it...and maybe it will help them in the future my friend...that's why "grumpy josh" comes out

[@mikedavis2969]

👍

[@5150Lane]

If one of those wheels is a pulley, is the other one a pushy? lol

[@markpeck5117]

you're complaining about the angle of the logs compared to the mill....you could have moved the mill?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

this was for folks to learn....solution not needed...we just moved the logs...but lessons learned by watching me are handy...now you know..if you hire a person to come mill for ya....you can line up the logs just right...it's about learning and teaching brother....I set up the mill...they set up the logs...there was more to it than just the logs position...the cuts were a little off making me waste more lumber too...we'll make a dedicated video about that soon

[@johnblount1347]

Thank ya.. lol

[@ronniewalker2881]

Why didn't you square the mill up with the logs

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

the mill was there...the logs were put there after the mill was set up...that's why...spend an hour moving logs or spend an hour moving the mill

[@NMTAF]

If my neighbor dogged me like that on KZbin I don’t think I would invite him back. Ever

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

He knows how to take a joke....this was a lesson for anyone having someone come cut lumber with a sawmill....not to bash a neighbor and friend. See...we care about each other...and we razz each other all the time....we aren't politicians and we don't hang on every word and cry about it....we're country people and we don't care what anybody else thinks of us....just light hearted razzing and lessons learned for next time. Ya don't need to look for a reason to be mad at folks my friend.....life is too short....but I think this important lesson was good for folks to learn

[@memyselfandifarmer]
