Put some dirt or rock in the front bucket to counter weight when extending the boom with a log. Makes it a little more stable. Great work guys!

Yup that’s what I was going to say, add counterweight and bring the log in as close as possible when you grapple it.

Such a cool experience. Wow there is just nothing that stops you. Great channel Thank the BBC for turning me on to you good people.

[@aus71383]

Check the blade roller guide alignment. If it's off, it puts extra stress on the blade. The book will probably say to check it every 1500 hours or something, but if you ever saw something big enough to bump against the bark, there's a good chance the alignment is off which can lead to blade breakage.

[@BigDaddyOworkshop]

when sharpening blades, keep the gullet as rounded as possible, any sharp angles will be a fracture point. that goes for most anything made of metal that is stressed.

[@reggiedaniels6920]

Hey, Greg, I noticed this the other day while watching another of your milling videos. There is a lot of castoff shavings on the track rail for the mill and every time the wheels roll over that debris, the blade is pushed up. Therefore you can't get a straight even cut in anything that you are milling. Just an FYI: You might start milling by cleaning the rails off first each session and you'd probably get cuts that are more even.

[@dominiccervantes9193]

[@jamesobryan3258]

Sawing wood in flip flops and swimming suits. What could possibly go wrong 🤔

[@derekread8220]

What you really need is a grapple to fit on the front end of the tractor in place of the bucket, you'd be a lot safer with better control of the logs. And yes Mitchygoss did use a broken saw blade around the window in the shed door behind the cabin on the cliff.

[@pierrelaboom4026]

You should get a small set of forks for the Kabota specially with moving logs and stuff it will really make a big difference.

[@mikeoxlong1167]

Helpful tip, when wanting to move loader fwd/bkwd instead of having to have another person move ya, lift stabilizers reach over lift bucket and turn parking brake off and use the backhoe to push and pull ya where u need to go

[@jasonjulius9670]

U can’t on the Kioti. The brake needs to be on

[@j.b.6855]

If the boards have cracks and holes that let the white of the wall show you might want to paint the wall brown before putting the boards up.

[@PearlX9]

You guys live in paradise. Beautiful place 🎉❤

[@garyblevins3532]

Although it's good to sharpen the blades, it's also good to reset the pitch of the blades so they do the work that they were intended to do. I've got a sawmill myself but not one built by someone else. I built my sawmill from scratch using woodmizer blades

[@maritimelogger1296]

Ya , I doubt any of his teeth are close to the same, just eyeballing it with a angle grinder, no disrespect to him, but I would have to sharpen my blades a bit better way than that.

[@MrNavco]

[@bernardwebster1978]

She’s pretty awesome

[@randysmith9636]

I personally have found it best to wear the least amount of clothing when working with heavy equipment and large logs. Especially foot wear, always make sure your toes are exposed or at least can breathe properly through your canvas shoes. Having said that, I do believe that your bride was properly dressed for moving the logs. If Nothing else but to remind you that you did good in the partner lottery. Stay strong you two. It is good to see a couple working together.

[@lynngatlin4469]

I'm glad you said you wasn't a backhoe operator. Lol I appreciate that I wanted to jump in there an help you so bad an couldn't I was getting stressed just watching. Just keep at it you will get the hang of it eventually

[@davidprentiss7667]

Keep up the good work be careful and have fun

[@hahaha9076]

I'd like to encourage you to get forks for the front bucket if you can afford them. Especially when you are carrying a heavy load you want it as low as possible to avoid the tractor tipping. It will make it safer to pick up the logs, when you have to roll them into the bucket there is a good chance it may roll back on your legs.

[@TordeusB]

hi, I usually watch you, I live in Sweden/Stockholm you have a tractor with an excavator when you lift heavy things make sure to have a counterweight in front, pull the arm towards the tractor with the material so it won't be so heavy, get help to get the bulldozer battery 24 volt running with kind regards from Bjorn

[@user-wm1et3zk6f]

When you have a lot of weight in the rear bucket. Curl it back close as you can to the tractor. That will stop it from teetering back so bad. Just a little trick to try. Awesome content ✌🏼

If you guys ever get a grapple for the tractor you’ll love it. When you start a new country build a skid steer is better suited Once you have the place built a tractor is better suited. If you buy attachments that are quick attach many times the fit both tractor and skid steer

[@Tanks-Link]

Them goats are cool I remember when I was like two years old I grew up in a desert of southern Nevada we had goats and I always would take off so mom would tether me to one of the goats because the goats are like your pets and stuff they won’t go far from the house and it always keep me within a hundred yards of the house, things you remember

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

Hi guys the house is lookin awesome and what beautiful wide boards, i was thinking if your picking something up with back of the tractor that is alittle to heavy for it just scoop up some dirt or rocks with the front bucket that would help with counter weight for lifting with the backhoe and keep the backhoe in as close as possible to the back of the tractor when lifting, just a thought that might work

[@arnoldromppai5395]

you can torch weld them blades back together with steel rod. coat hanger an peen weld when hot. grind flat. if it didnt bend up when it broke. thats how they are mad, from a huge stock blade roll

[@laruedouglas1064]

Beautiful wood 😍.

[@lincolnstovall9471]

Forks on the loader bucket would help move logs and loaded lumber much easier.

[@user-dz8vg9dh9d]

Long door frame shims work real good also.

[@budatx09]

Tuck the logs in closer to the center of gravity of the tractor. The further put the more offset it is. That’s why your front end of it is lifting up.
