    Welcome to the Third Time Around Ranch. After living in the country most of our lives we still felt like something was wrong. We kept talking about getting back to the basics of life and taking care of ourselves like our great grandparents did. So instead of depending on stores for everything, we bought some land in Alabama where we intend to build debt free on a fixed income and become as self sufficient as we possibly can. We are happy to have you join us as we carve out a new way of life for ourselves and our youngest son.
    We would love to hear from you, you can leave us a comment or if you'd rather we love to receive mail.

    Eddie pointed out that I never actually said what I thought of the sawmill so here goes... I love the sawmill. It is easy to handle, it will cut most of the tree's we have on our property, and Woodland Mills has GREAT customer support! We feel it was a great investment that HAS already paid for itself and we still have many tree's to cut up into usable lumber!

    Thanks for the video. One tip I can offer you, after doing a lot of work with a similar mill, is to replace the upright metal log dogs with pieces of sawn timber. Use a really strong type, so they don't snap when rolling logs against them. This way, it doesn't matter if you forget to drop them and run the blade through them. It's saved me many a blade. :)

      I have a friend who has the HM126 he has the 9.5 hp and he is quite pleased with it till you get into hardwoods. I'm the type of guy that loans out or helps out where I can and I dont want to wear my welcome out by using his equipment to do all of my needs. So I bit the bullet and bought one also. The only difference is I spent the few extra hundred on the 14.5 hp. There is a difference given what your needs are. If you plan to mill softwoods and occasionally hardwoods youd be happy with the 9.5hp . I planned on mainly hardwoods so any help will be a blessing as bad backs must be a common theme with us that live the manual labor lives....
      I cant reiterate it enough about sharp blades. Take care of them and they can be resharpened a few times. Several of the companies have a sharpening service for around 8 - 10 dollars a piece.

      @@ThirdTimeAroundRanch I have bought a hm122 mill about 2 months ago with the 9.5hp and love it. currently milling pig hickory logs and cut about 6 10 footers with the original blade before it failed. I have been hand sharpening the blade on the mill with a dremel tool. I am going to order the rail extensions soon so I can do 16' logs. I have a winch I use to load the logs on the rails and it will pull the log over the guide wheel with no problem. I also have the mill mounted on an old 24' dune trailer frame to make it portable. I use a 2500lb harbor freight winch I use with a lifting frame to load the logs on the trailer. I would sent a picture but I don't see how here.

    I have the Woodland Mills HM126, I am using it to mill the pine trees I am cutting down on my small 4 acre woods lot to build my 24 X 40 barn. The ground here is very sandy and every time I used it after a rain I would have to spend time leveling before I could start. I finally had some red clay dumped and I spread it and poured a 3' X 20' concrete pad and attached it with redhead bolts. No more sink, slip, or slide. I have the 14HP and I cut about 6 or 7 16 foot logs with one blade until it is dull. I would post a picture or 2 but I don't know how or if I can.

    i have the same mill but i have a subcompact tractor to put the logs on the mill is a huge help . I have bunks i load them on and then roll them down on the mill. I would say my blades are lasting about the same as yours around 300 board feet of lumber . Where i am its gets qut cold and frozen logs i use no water and the blades seem to last longer. One of the hugest savings with the 122 is the price of the blades to step up the blades become very expensive. also the 9 horse is a good choice

Btw cut some hardwood 1.5" square sticks and use those for log stops when resawing so if you get distracted you won't destroy a blade.

    Thanks much for the responses . I was just curious bout the sawdust . I love to camp out & use sawdust from some of my cutting to start off the fire . Ive seen other videos where they use it to keep the fire going in their stoves Im guessing similar to pellets but I ve not gotten that brave yet . If Im ripping wood by myself I use the wedges & it seems to work good . Figured you may get more cuts that way but sounds like youve taken that into account already . My Mom & some of my sisters canned food over the years . I love eating it but never tried to can any myself
    Maybe show some videos of that sometime unless youve already done them . Im still trying to do catch up on here. Thanks much again !!!!

    i bought one of these a long time back, and i have had good success with the machine. i have increased the life of the blades by two things. first is hard wood, hard wood blade, softwood, softwood blade. 2nd is increasing the soap water mixture to about 1 ounce per gallon, (i use dish soap on sale), and the rest of the tank with clean water. 3rd, i brush and then hose/brush the log before cutting.
    tip, in your presentation, the end of your board was unsupported. you will get a lot of vibration and your cut will not be true. try to brace that up on the very end. i use some wood blocks, and as far as the dogs you cut, i use sacrificial lambs made of wood i think i cut 40mx40m squares and dog against those. i use water oak for dogs when i make them. i just cut through them and keep driving.
    here is a link to my machine. i like my design better than what i saw you had. mine is a 2012 model and i would not trade it.
    ruclips.net/video/JFM-aYsAAzM/видео.html
    keep in mind, you have sealed bearings on the blade guide and you need to watch and replace as necessary.

  • @pucketts57
    @pucketts57 4 года назад

    Hi Great video . Not real sure but since some of the cuts are so long maybe try some wedges behind to take the pressure off the blade as you go or even better since you have help close by just have them do it .

    • @ThirdTimeAroundRanch

      The way the blade is set up with alternating teeth, there is no pressure on the blade. Unless your using a chainsaw mill of course.

  • @fiskfarm
    @fiskfarm 2 года назад

    I highly suggest purchasing a tach and make sure that you run the motor at something close to the motor's peak hp rpms of 3600. I set ours at 3700 no load and keep it at about 3650 under load. Cuts like butter and saves your clutch. This does not effect the idle speed. Takes a bit of work to do but the results are worth the 10 minutes. Smoother cuts, longer blade life, longer clutch life and faster cuts. The tach I use runs about $22 delivered off ebay. Don't get the $10 ones. We cut everything from oak to hemlock here. Lots of cherry and Tulip Poplar as well. One year in and I just love this mill and use it for resaw and so many things I never thought of prior. Read the instructions a few times through before starting assembly.🤣 That will save you from these mistakes in this vid. Woodland Mills even sends you assembly instructions ahead of delivery so you can bone up👍

    • @ThirdTimeAroundRanch
      @ThirdTimeAroundRanch  2 года назад

      This sounds interesting, but I would need more information on your set up. Where did you attach the tach? How do you control the rpms?

    • @fiskfarm
      @fiskfarm 2 года назад

      @@ThirdTimeAroundRanch the tach is self powered and takes about 15 minutes to install. I placed it right below the factory hour meter. You adjust the rpms by first taking all the slack out of the cable and MORE. I also take all the slack out of the throttle linkage on the motor itself. You'll be surprised how far the linkage moves before it actually starts to throttle up. I then block the throttle with a piece of wood and then remove all cable slop once again. Once I have it right I bend the cable at the attachment point to prevent that little (way too chincy in my opinion) set screw from letting the cable slip again. Check the rpms to make sure it is about 3700 at full throttle and no load. I have yet to find a max safe rpm limit from Kohler much to their shame (and I love Kohler engines). All they give you is max hp at 3600 and never a limit but in my research I found small engine mechanics stating you can easily go to 100rpm over thus the 3700 or thereabouts max.

      They deliver in an 18 wheeler so they must have a place to turn around or in my case they just pulled over to the side of the road. If you have to take delivery at the road you need to have a trailer or long bed truck to put it on. They did set it on my trailer for me. If I remember correctly it weighs about 500 pounds. Putting it together is easy enough but then you have to have a way to lift the mill onto the rails. You can use a tractor or 2 strong men. Hope that helped.

I know the cost of blades and limited income dictate what you can buy for it.I also think if you got the hardened steel four degree blades that it would make up for any hard pushing as well. Try one sometime if you can and maybe you already have. You show me that your a hard worker and nothing is free in your life. So take a bow as you damn well earned it!! I would still be cutting lumber from one of my own mills that I have built on my own. By getting steel from different sources, like scrap yards an other people tossing I have built at least twenty mills of different kinds an I am learned the hard way to have to shell money that would buy toilet paper no less and get the most bang for the buck. For me it was so easy cause my dad was a logger an so I went to work for him before I was old enough to argue with a huge man. I had experience in all forms of logging and working on it. I could weld before I was double digits myself. I started driving truck for him when I was twelve an got my licence handed to me at fifteen years of age. At 71 and near another year to it, I miss walking the most as I have not walked now for about five years total. I have them but no feeling in them an they are full of adema so it comes down to being helped to bath, or get to a vehicle. I was only one hundred ninety pounds give or take a few after a holiday till I got hurt an then really got hurt so I am pushing three hundred pounds which is killing me. What a way to go... get buried in a fridge box. I have zero relatives or family as they are off my welcome list or just past on. I did love sawmilling as the smell of sawdust still lingers in my mind. You all will look back on this as a hell of a spell but you earned it and no one should bother you'ns again for this an that as you work out of pocket. I can imagine that those stimulus checks have been well used by now just getting jars to save on food. A good source of food is rabbits but to tell the truth can cost as much as a beef cow to raise. Your a fine bunch of folk an hope things get better as time rolls along.

    I see already that many have suggested the bi-metal blades and their right as rain. Way better control, lasting longer and push power is so much easier, I speak from experience. I also will go so far to make a fool of myself and say "Bite the bullet and build the platform for that mill as life improves so much that your gonna curse that you didn't do it sooner. If you can go to a scrap steel place and get some box steel like 4" x 4" square or any variation of then it will be easier (make sure what you buy is straight) and weld it in the lengths and widths that you need. Channel or other wise on the cross braces but it needs to be one piece or very well built so you don't go from one problem to a new one. I don't know what or how much wood that your going after but it sounds like your building a home that will take care of everyone. Its hard when money is once a month and its barely enough to keep you in home and some creature comfort... I been rich and I have been poor, and by poor I mean going to food banks as I have to now. I'm crippled bad, they won't fix it and I won't do drugs. Going back to that mill, your able to make it where you can skid it to places rather than move every log to saw it... some skids to roll the logs on the mill bed is a good thing as it would allow the log to come up to and drop down say a half inch or a bit more and not knock the mill out of position. Hence use steel and thank yourself later. I got tons of ideas and no dog in the fight so tell me to shut up an I will

    I am also in the market for a mill, and my question to you is - do you have any regrets about going with the 22 over the 26 or does it handle everything you throw at it? I was leaning towards the 22 but still have that nagging wonder if it is big enough. Oh, and i'm a new sub.

    • @ThirdTimeAroundRanch
      @ThirdTimeAroundRanch  4 года назад +3

      It will depend on the size tree's you plan on cutting. We don't regret buying the 22 because most of the tree's on our property will fit on it. And anything that doesn't fit is too heavy for us to move by hand anyway. BUT that being said, we have had to whittle some tree's down with the chainsaw because they didn't fit. If you could afford it, bigger is better to have that leeway. If your only cutting 10-15 inch tree's you don't need the 26. Hope that answers your question and Thanks for joining us!
