There's a phrase used in the private aircraft community that applies to those who fly restored/vintage birds, "You sort the men from the boys by the size of their toys." How fortunate you are to have the wooded acreage and an understanding wifey who allows you play around with such killer orange toys so you can make sawdust, kindling, cord wood, posts, boards, sheds and siding, and thumb your nose at the box store lumber yards all at the same time!!!

Great to see from harvest to useable. This is a skill. Thank you for sharing.

[@BWreSlippySlope]

Just did this a couple of months ago. Excavator pushed down the tree. He was not anywhere as polite to the tree. Big chunks out, and dirt everywhere on the tree in the bark from dropping it. When it rained it was worse. Did about 50 trees. Did about a day of the excavator falling since I came after he had about 10 down, and agreed to cut them down and haul them for pick up on a trailer. Less dirt in the chain and less sharpening, less breakage. Lots of soil disturbed in the video. rather than just pulling the stump, but maybe that is a good thing for the site. The excavator just pulled up the roots without digging it was a monster of an escalator. Would love to have the Band Saw. CS milled 1/2 now working out a deal for bandsawing the rest.

[@trampster7306]

Another interesting video thanks Wes! That John Deere swinger is a useful machine, and I know its for safety, but that bleeper when it's tracking would do my head in! Stay safe & well. 👍👍

Now Wes, if you were to buy a Kubby version of that long reach log loader, you'd have a good start on a collection of orange stuff.

Since I have never saw a board cut less than one inch on utube, I wondered why some sawyer doesn't saw at a thinner cut for those folks who make boxes, and other wood products?

[@CreeksideMaplesHomestead]

As always, another awesome and entertaining video. Thanks. I worked for a friend of mine all of 2019 on an excavator. So enjoyed it. Don’t pay much heed to the negative opinions.

The plan is to buy some land with many trees and start there. Any recommendations of where to look would be appreciated. Any state is good for me. Thank you!

it is ok to leave all that wood behind when you got a lots of acreage but when you got a little less than 12 acres to work with you get every thing that can make a 4x4 that is what i do

[@falllineridge]

I could get into a lot of trouble with an excavator for a day or two.

Rented one for a month last summer. Good lord, it enabled us to accomplish a lot. One thing we did was disable the speaker for the dang beeper. Made a huge difference. Plugged it back in before returning it of course.

Its a shame to take down a tree like the opening scene

sounded a lil stressed when it was pushed over, causes cracks in the boards when they dry.

@@davesilvia9711 The stress can show up when its opened on the mill. just because you have a machine that can push over a tree roots and all doesn't mean its a good idea.

[@tommyadams1897]

@@brucewelty7684 you made the most intelligent comment of the day. 😉

[@sgsellsit]

It seems like a waste of time to dig the tree and push it down not to mention dangerous. Had the tree snapped back it would have ended up right in the middle of the cab. A good saw man could have had a small diameter tree like that on the ground in 5 minutes.

[@kennethhudson8013]

Would have been easier if you cut the tree down and no damage

[@brucewelty7684]

Eric's main business is clearing and for home sites. The lumber out of that process is a by-product. If it were cut, then he'd have to remove the stumps. Using the height of the tree for leverage simplifies stump removal.

[@falllineridge]

A little damage is more than worth it to not have a stump.

I read today that all these jacked up lumber prices are being caused by the five largest sawmills. Two are Georgia Pacific and Weyerhauser. I dont remember the others. They have plenty of logs to saw but cut back on production to jack up the prices using the pandemic as the excuse.

Hey Ernie, I stuck my GoPro in there and didn't check to see if it was actually in a decent spot. My bad on that one.

[@huubebenau527]

But why pushing the tree down with the exavator? It s a bit annoying actually. And if u r out of luck u r getting a lot of matches that way. Plus a sandy bark.

[@phillgoodall8838]

I don't know why you don't try to jack up one end to average out the taper? I'm not a sawyer, just curious.

[@katelutterodt2479]

YOU ARE DOING OK, NO COMPLAIN

[@Oldmane-420]

Hello, been subbed for a while now, great channel, never tire of watching the sawdust fly. I do have a question though. Why do you cut your logs 2-3 “ under the two ft length? Eg: 11’ 10 “ instead of 12’2”. You end up cutting off 22” to match two foot centre studs when building. Just curious if there’s a reason for doing that?

[@falllineridge]

If I need 12' I'll usually cut over...we were not really super careful on the bucking on this tree. It doesn't really need to be perfect because it'll probably be used for an outbuilding or something.

[@Oldmane-420]

@@falllineridge thanks for the reply, I come from a history of foresters, my grandfather started some where in the 1920’s in Sask. then moved mill to Dawson Creek BC in 39-40 and sold lumber/ bridge timber’s to US Army for Alcan highway, after war moved to Prince George BC where he retired in the 60’s. My father left school at age 13 ( child labour advocates are hyper ventilating lol) to work for my grandpa and worked his entire life in forest industry. Starting at bottom of job ladder and working up to head sawyer on double head rig production mill/planer, and later as log scaler. So coming from that background and remembering getting a solid cuff from grandpa if I cut a log under length( your wasting lumber boy), as I was bucket for his farm mill, I had to ask. Once again, thanks for your content and look forward to more. Also wondering where your located?

How hard is it to level the mill with it being a trailer?

[@jaquigreenlees]

Slightly misleading title, you didn't actually use the excavator to shift the logs to the mill in the video. :p I think Eric would have a smoother ride taking the trees down if he used the blade to brace the excavator while digging the roots, then to brace the other way when pushing the tree down. I do agree, an excavator would make an excellent accessory for milling, get the tree down, hold it off the ground while cutting to length and shifting the logs would be a lot simpler than without it. One size larger at least though, the bigger machine would be more stable and handle larger logs / trees easier.
