[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. We are learning on older Red Oak. Going Green stuff soon. Big stuff.

[@downtownbigcity9552]

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We are excited to mill. Learning more each day.

[@danfarge7447]

Tony Great video lot of work good luck Dan

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We are learning more each day. This stuff is so fun, but hard work.

[@danfarge7447]

Tony's Tractor Adventure I know recently cut down three huge oak trees thought splitting wood be easy not so much our new Masey1725

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is hard to find sin in splitting wood. 😁

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

All these nice tools we have today makes you wonder how they ever got anything done back in the old days and they did just as good of job just took alot more back breaking work lol

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We had kids until we had an army to work! 😁

[@jamesharless5357]

Hi Tony, from North Carolina! Love your channel!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I appreciate that. More saw mill stuff next Tuesday

[@craignash4736]

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks. Wish I was your neighbor . Lol. Next time. Pa.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Funny you should say that, My neighbor showed up today, to cut a log.

[@greenerpastures528]

Hello Tony, great video! I bought a OS23 about a year and a half ago. When I got the sawmill, family issues prevented me from putting it together. I am now in the process of assembly. I have the bed setup. A dear friend of mine and me watch your channel alot. I wanted know if you would be interested in coming over and helping us finish putting together and giving me some pointers.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Where are you located?

[@greenerpastures528]

East Knoxville/ Strawberry Plains area

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

Did you get that sawmill running? I am in Newport

[@greenerpastures528]

@@TheHarleyhillbilly yes I got it up going thanks

[@neubauer6]

Great video! It's interesting to see the variances in parts from one frontier mill to the next. Let us know your thoughts on the mill after you get some hours on it. I've had some interesting problems with mine.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. We have about 10 hours on it. I built the trailer. It has been strong so far.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I do spray every moving point and knob with penetrating oil. I keep it clean too.

[@neubauer6]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I just discovered a product called fluid film that I've been spraying on anything that can rust.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have heard of it, but never used it. Let me know how it works out. My mill is setting outside, until the barn is built.

[@anijohnson8082]

I am looking around for a sawmill and ran into your video. Are you still happy with it? It sounds rough! I am super excited for you! One day I will have mine!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am very pleased with it. There is a learning curve for me. I had to learn how to meter how fast I cut. We have turned out some great stuff. Tont

[@ronanrogers4127]

Looks like the water lubricant was flowing too much. Maybe that contributed to the sawdust caking in the head near the wheels?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yes sir. Old video.

[@aporter701]

....and then it rained! Well,could be worse,like IN the hurricane. Keep on cuttin'. Cut some today,matter of fact. Had some good weather in western Ark. 👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yes sir. Keep on cutting! I am hook already. I appreciate you. Tony

[@daviddavies6844]

Hi.REAL GREAT VIDEO. VERY WELL FILMED..WE ARE LOOKING TO BUY THE SAME MAKE OF MACHINE.. WE ARE IN N.S.W. AUSTRALIA AND THE WOOD IS REAL HEAVY AND VERY HARD SO NERVOUS IF IT WILL HANDLE THE WOOD O.K. WELL THANKS FOR THE FILM...DAVID

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

David, I would recommend going with the 10hp if you are going to be cutting hard wood. I am upgrading my engine to an 18hp which is overkill, but small engines are hard to come by right now. It was the only one I could get. I am doing video on the whole sawmill upgrade. I will get into the nuts and bolts of the sawmill.

[@MrMEmEmEmEMEMEeeeeee]

Do you really need to run that much coolant on the blade? Seems like it would tend to make the sawdust cake up in the blade housing...

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I had no idea what I was doing at the time. It never caked up, but with hard woods, I use very little water. I am cutting fresh pine next week so I will use diesel as a coolant. It keeps the pitch from caking.

[@thomaspalinkas402]

It seems as though you use the lumber you mill right away without letting it dry or have it kiln dry. Is that true and if it is, don't you have issues with twisting or movement in the lumber?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I build green for a lot of things. It has been done for thousands of years. It will move some. Perfect is not always perfect.

[@bobbennett3153]

Part of the show should be TNT it oughta be a dynamite show Tony and Tonya

[@georgeleray5657]

Hi tony i like the cordless chainsaw looks like it works quite well , whats the life of a charge ?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have never ran the battery down. It seems to be very long lasting.

[@tylervosters3234]

Is that the trailer from Frontier or a custom built one? It looks sweet.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I built the trailer.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you my friend. This mill is a blast.

[@tylervosters3234]

Yeah, looks great. What did you use for the main supports under the rails of the mill?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I used travel trailer leveling legs. I figured they could hold up a 7,000lbs + travel trailer. Turned out to be a good choice. I use my drill to raise and lower the legs. Takes just minutes to set up.

[@tylervosters3234]

I noticed that and I was planning on using same type of jacks. Wondering what you used as main support beams under the mill or was you trailer long enough already? I'm looking at taking a 4'x8' trailer and extending it to 13' but not sure what to use as beams to extend it

[@alanwatts9232]

Cleaning your equipment with water may not be a good idea. I know Harry from Harry's Farm said that hosing out his combine harvester made it go rusty quicker, and in the future he would just use a blower. I enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you for the input. I appreciate your support. I washed and waxed my tractor yesterday. I always keep my equipment clean as best I can. When the paint is scratched off, I try to repair it as soon as possible. Mud and wood chips turn acidic sitting on equipment. This is my two cents worth.

[@davida.p.9911]

If you could get the cut thin enough, I bet that would make some nice fresh cut wood paneling for a wall. With some varnish on it of course. 👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It look like it could cut 1/8" stuff. I am going to cut some beams soon.

[@Ryder_Devil]

How do I get one of those

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Order it from Frontier. They will ship to your house.

[@tylervosters3234]

is that the 7.5hp or 10hp mill?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Mine is 7.5 hp.

[@bobbennett3153]

Hurry up already I'm waiting you're killing me

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Love it. This should be fun.

[@MrThenry1988]

What are you doing with the wood? That's some heavy rain.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Nothing yet. It has to dry several months. We are building a work barn right now and will use some of the older cuts on it. We started cutting about 5 months ago.

[@MrThenry1988]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Good deal. I'm horrible with wood. I've been using a chainsaw mill and I got carried away a bit. Lol. I have planks and need 10 other tools now to go further. Ugh. I have a few vids up on it. Check them out. Good show man.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We have filled out basement up. I have a dehumidifier in an already dry basement. I am hoping the dehumidifier will take a few months off of the wait time

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I bought a moisture tester and it seems to be dropping the moisture content pretty fast

@@TonysTractorAdventure Left mine outside with a cover. The other stuff I'm building a cabin with. It's going up green. Perlins and things like that. Won't care much if they move or shrink. Good times.

Would you be interested in some sweet gum for cutting. This timber is still standing in Paris.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We have not cut the sweet gum yet? We have an amazing White Oak at the neighbors which blew down. Free lumber.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am told sweet gum twist bad after cut and it is not good for much. I will reach out to a pro and ask this week.

@@TonysTractorAdventure this is free also if you want it. It's still standing easy to get to.
