Thank you. You as well. We have about 4’ of snow around now. Being up at 5000’ of elevation that stuff usually sticks around till April.

Hard to say, with metal prices nowadays. I built it about 20yrs ago. Pretty much all left over steel, except for the two twenty foot 4x4” angle iron pieces, for the tracks. And some miscellaneous hardware.

No Sir, we have not.

Hi Kevin, yes we have a small trailer this goes on. There is a receiver hitch welded in the front for a tow hitch.

I found it cut much better with the cannon bar and 2 saws with the 404 chain

@@kevinswanson3910 Nice

I looked it up they still sell the bars ,they call them the sawmiller

@@kevinswanson3910 who makes them?

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

Hi Mark, if look through our other videos I do a walk around of this mill. If there is something else you would like to see. Let us know. Cheers RRR

Yes, it sure would. We are an off grid Ranch so it only made sense to use a chainsaw

Hi George Yes, it’s allthread. I believe its 3/4” or 1” the saw bar holders are welded to a connecting nut threaded onto the allthread. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions. Cheers RRR

Well with proper fuel mixture & maintenance the chainsaw motor should last a while. We mix the fuel/oil ratio about 40:1. Sure smokes a little more but that extra oil helps keep the saw motor well lubed. We’ve been running that saw motor nearly 15 years. Still great compression & power.

@@RedRockRancher wow thats good to hear I'm planning on buying a stihl ms881. I'm hoping it'll cut enough planks I can rip down on a tablsaw to build a house

I think on one of our other chainsaw mill videos, it shows how we edge the planks once there cut. No need for a tablesaw. Just stand up a bunch and rip them down with the mill. It’s way easier cutting then when your slabbing, so goes fast.

@@RedRockRancher awesome thank

Thx for the kind words. We also have a bandsaw mill. Stay tuned we have alot of content from the summer the we’ll be posting.

Chainsaw seemed like a better choice for an off grid property. Thx for the input, thou.

@@RedRockRancherhai

...and folks, we have the typical keyboard douche with us today. The best part of Keith ran down his mom's leg at conception.

Nah, they're cracking trail bikes......for those who don't have to compensate for small dicks.

Thx, for the suggestions. We also have a bandsaw mill, which We mainly use. We use the chainsaw mill mostly for beams.

That’s awesome! we have about 400k on this old girl, and ya they push like a tank.

@@RedRockRancher truly best built trucks for work trucks imo...

Hi Tom, We’re located in Vancouver BC

Finally someone makes a new vid on these style mills

There’s a lot faster ways of cutting with a chainsaw mill. We can cut at least twice as fast through larger diameter hard oak with a saw that’s 14cc’s less. Full skip chain, 10 pin rim, 50 thou on the rakers, and angle the bar for bigger chips. We haven’t cut much pine, but soft pine is usually 3-4 times faster. Edit: I come from a heavy equipment tech background and have successfully modified lots and lots of equipment over the years, and was usually told it wouldn’t work. I started experimenting with chainsaw mill many years ago and did a good bit of experimenting and research. There’s a lot of repeated ignorance out there when it comes to equipment and the chainsaw world is the worst. I experimented with it because of my background. Chainsaw slabbing mills are inherently slow, especially compared to a much thinner kerf bandsaw mill with 3 times or more power.

Granberg has some good ripping chain with special tooth design. I’ve thought about T tooth design for a while and I’m not if I would work that good.

you have pictures you can share ?.Electric motor is what I want to use and put my Carriage on a slope

Hi, not sure. Yamaha has been keeping it quite a secret. I’ll be sure and let everyone know once we find out.

Hi, yes we are using a Stihl 056 magnum (about 100cc). Running a 32” bar at about 75% throttle thru a 28” X 18’ Log, we can get about three passes. Thanks

@@RedRockRancher Great info thanks, I've got a 2101xp and I'm cutting a 46" diameter silver maple and it seems like I'm filling the tank every couple of cuts.

Since when?

Hi Fred, We normally used a lawn mower throttle. We drilled a small hole into the finger throttle and clamped the throttle house off. Work good. Until you need to switch saws, lol. Thx for watching!

Ya, lots of work! But if you compare the cost of a bandsaw mill, I think your still a bit ahead. Stay tuned our Bandsaw mill build should be up in a bit.

Negative Nancy here, they are worth it, by all means continue buying lumber from Home Depot and Lowes, their stock holders appreciate it.

Hi Ben, we wire wheeled everything and used POR15 on it. It’s been about two years now of year round daily driving and some logging roads. She’s still holding up fantastic.

@@RedRockRancher thank you I am resting a 95 2nd gen dually and I wanted to undercoat it like yours👍

Absolutely correct!

HaHa aren’t they awesome. They even match the drivers door patch. Let us know if you want them,lol.

That’s awesome Dan. We love ours too. Unfortunately they’re put away for the winter now.

Same here. Last April a dealer 2 hours away had one left in stock. Love mine.

Thanks J. The saw is a Stihl O56 Magnum. Approximately 100cc. We’re running a 36” bar and an Oregon ripping chain. Cuts nice just gotta keep the chain sharp, and lots of lube.

Muito bom

We sticker them up and let them sit over winter in the greenhouse.
