Shed Update! - Sawing utility/telephone poles on a Woodland Mills Sawmill

Enjoyed the vid, the cedar telephone pole on my property is dated 1949 and it's still in great shape

What did you do with the chemically treated sawdust? Love the sawmill. I see you are not using the ramps and winch to load the sawmill. do you regret getting the ramps since you are using your tractor? I am looking to purchase this exact setup for two farms about a mile apart. Wondering if I should wait till I have a tractor with unloader for each place.

I put sawdust in the burn pile.

I have some hickory logs that I am unable to pick up with the tractor because of the weight. I will be using the ramp loading system then. It was definitely a worthy purchase.

I have a few questions, sawing utility poles, are you using a different blade? there is a place that sales a blade they say works well for this purpose (timberwolf blades) I also would like to know how long your blades are currently lasting?, do you increase your water to the blade?............ and I think that bucket idea was a good idea.

I have been using the Lennox blades that came with the sawmill. No problems with them. I use a blade for four to six hours before changing. I have ten blades and have sharpened them all just one time. I believe that I could get five sharping out of them. Water-keep it at a fast drip to small stream. Thank you for the questions! Happy Saw-milling!
