Congratulations on getting a mill, I’m looking forward to seeing you work with it and hopefully a few with you and your dad working together.
I agree that WM has excellent customer service. They were extremely supportive even though I bought a used WC68.
Thank you sir
Brock, I have a old school Baker Wood Buddy band mill. My mill bed/track stays outside. I use my tractor and forks to move my mill head in and out of my workshop when needing to mill.
From my research that MILL seemed to me as well as the best bang for the buck! Great choice and value. Looking forward to your vids on it!
Thanks
I figured that you were ready to pull the trigger, so happy for you Brock!
Thanks
you made a good choice ive had a hm126 since 2016 love it best mill for the money
I found this channel this morning. Great video on the HM130 MAX !!
Thanks
Congratulations Brock!! You'll have a lot of fun with that mill. A good friend of my fathers purchased a mill years ago with his brother. It was a cheap mill from another country. They milled A LOT of lumber with that thing. The problem was finding and getting replacement parts; nothing on it was "standard". I would say at the top of my list for concerns would be parts availability and I don't think that it is a concern at all with Woodland. Good choice!!
Thank you, sir. The mill was delivered yesterday and my father is coming over today to help me build a stand for it.
Congratulations on your new mill Brock. I'm sure that possibilities are endless now. Really looking forward to the milling content.
Welcome to the woodland mills gang!
Thank you sir
Good choice Brock. Don’t own one but what I’ve seen is good mill for good money. 👍
Thank you sir
Have a good day bro, I hope your new factory will run smoothly 🎉🎉
Very exciting Brock!
This is exciting news, Brock! I am really looking forward to seeing you move into this new chapter.
Take care and God Bless.
Thank you sir
Good for you. I wish I had the land. I would do the same thing.👍🇺🇸
Remember you need to access front to bring logs in and to access rear to get rid of sawdust and slabs and off cuts
Yeah, I have ideas for what will and won’t work but I want to run it for a little while in the Quonset hut to see how much access I need to have to the back side
Probably better to run it for at least a month cutting lumber for the shed before I make up my mind on the details
So excited! Good for you!
Congratulations on your new mill. I have a manual norwood sawmill, it's alot of hard work especially if you saw large logs.
I ordered a woodmizer lt 40 super wide about a year ago. I'm still waiting on it, but the hydraulics will be a great help. I am usually by myself running the mill. Hope you have fun and saw a bunch of lumber..
I think you'll be happy with your choice of mills. I love my 126. You'll be surprised how much you can learn from just running it. There are so many details that can improve your product. There will be trial and error, but the more you use it, the more you'll learn. Congratulations on your new purchase!
I am happy for you sounds like you put a lot of thought into buying your mill. While you are thinking about where you want to put it don’t forget about prevailing winds I don’t want to see you get sawdust in your eyes.
Good Point
Picked up their WG24 stump grinder - great product, literature was spot on, customer service was very responsive and helpful. Congrats!
Yeah, I’ve ran that stump grinder in two different wood chippers from Woodland Mills and it all seems like good quality equipment to me
Great choice.
I'm certain you have watched some Sawing with Sandy videos, He has worked through a lot of the questions of how to build a building for his sawmills considering many of the questions you have. I think having three sides where the mill head stays (preferably on the side of prevailing winds) then open the rest of the way is the best design. You could always have a tarp that rolls up on the one open side when mill is not in use to protect it. If you're going to store wood in the same building, then closed on all sides with rolling doors, but leave enough room to scoop up your sawdust. I've even seen conveyors put on that side to convey the dust out after milling. The sky is the limit on how you do it. Welcome to the Woodland Mills family. I love the two products I have from them so far.
Thanks for the feedback. I really do enjoy Sandy’s videos. Been watching them a lot lately. I don’t think I’m exactly going to set my mill shed up like his but looking at a lot of different ones, gives me ideas
Congratulations, Brock. Look forward to seeing the mill on future videos.
I agree with you Brock, I've done over a years worth of research on Sawmills and your right. The HM130 max is the best sawmill for the price. Now as far as to where to put it, I think your first choice was the best idea. I would put it out back for the reasons you stated plus a saw mill makes a huge amount of sawdust and your going to be moving that a lot . I personally wouldn't want that near my pond. If you have a windy day and that dust blows across your pond I think your just going to have more problems to deal with. Just my thoughts on the location. Good choice and I am looking forward to watching your videos on sawmilling.
Thanks for the feedback and for following along
Congratulations on your new mill. I bought a woodland HM 126 last fall. I’ve been busy building drying pallets and roofs so when the spring comes, I can start milling lumber for a cabin. I’ve been milling Ponderosa pine commercially for over 30 years.
Thanks for Sharing
Congratulations, Brock! I know you have invested a great deal time coming to this decision. I came to the same conclusion about Woodland Mills. Happy sawing! Take care 👍
Congratulations Brock, sounds like you made a good 👍👍 decision. I'm looking forward to seeing you planning this out.
Congrats Brock!
Thanks
Congratulations! I'm very excited for you. Ask dad these questions, research web, as you usually do. Try to recall how your grandfather had sawmill positioned. I think having sawmill far from home will reduce noise level as well as less visibility from road (sawdust spill into pond will make algae growth). Shed construction should provide room for maneuvering heavy logs and lumber you'll process + who knows what you'll end up adding to it.
Thanks for the feedback
I had trouble with wavy cuts with the blade that came with my Woodland Mills HM130MAX, I ordered 21 Kasco blades from Southeastern Metals in Woodbury, Georgia, I've cut 10 logs averaging 18ft. long, with the first blade, so far haven't had a problem with wavy cuts, haven't changed blades yet, got five 20ft. logs on deck to cut, gonna see how much of that I can get through before needing to change blades 😊
I'm a happy HM130Max owner, and I think you'll enjoy your new mill. I do have the power lift, the toe-board and the log loading winch kit as well. I strongly recommend all three of them. Even though smaller logs are easy enough to handle with our tractor and a chain with a grapple hook attached, larger ones can be frightening, dangerous and incredibly difficult. Using the winch I can roll up 26 inch logs all by myself without having to worry about nearly two tons of red oak smashing into the side of my sawhead. (Almost had first hand experience with that). Another advantage to having the winch kit is that you can use it to roll logs on the mill when you got to turn it over. 500 percent easier than using a cant hook.
The toe board is a good accessory as well. When I first got it, I thought I'd cheap out and just put a bottle jack on a cinder block under the mill. That worked. Kinda sorta. In a "this sucks" sort of way. After two weekends of milling that the bottle jack, I had an order in with WM for the toe board.
My favorite accessory, however, is the one I've only had for a couple of months. We bought the power lift as soon as it came out. I'm a spinal injury survivor, with limited strength in my arms. Prior to getting the power lift, my wife and I considered a days milling to get one good sized oak milled up. Now we don't have any trouble at all doing four in a day. Get one. You'll love it. And make sure you get their free improved indicator if your saw doesn't already come with it. The old one is a PItA to read.
Thanks for all of the feedback. I thought the toeboard automatically came with it until after I had ordered and was looking on the website.
I didn’t even consider the winch because the skid loader can handle any log I’m going to run into.
Using it for turning could be handy.
My plan for turning logs was putting a strap around the log cinched at the bottom, and then lifting the strap
For your long beam you can just cut a bunch of 2x12s and glue and nail them together, just stagger the joints. Even pole barn poles are going to that because 3 2x6 are straighter then one solid 6x6.
That is what I’m planning. I saw my father do that years ago on a load bearing section of a two-story house. I think it was triple two by tens, but it was rocksolid.
Big things poppin
I am really excited to get a sawmill
Another consideration is sawdust removal. You don't want to make the dust accumulation difficult to remove.
Definitely
Congrats , I think a new saw mill Bld would be a great RUclips videos to make for our consumption, cut your own lumber and make a sawmill shed 🤪
I will be putting out a lot of videos on that. I’ve really never built anything like that so will be a process.
I've got the 130 max, and its great. Highly recommend getting the power head, and a DRO (digital read out)
Good for you Brock! Been tossing around pulling the trigger on the same mill for awhile now. I also think they are a great value mill. I’ve questioned if I really want all manual mill, but I know I don’t want to spend 35 grand either. Lol So this will be interesting to me👍
It’s about tome one more chain saw mill would probably give me a heart attack, I don’t think I would not survive, i watch a lot of saw mill channels, I think made a great choice, they have a lot of upgrade u will want, good luck.
Thanks. The mill was delivered today and tomorrow I’m building a platform for it
After sawing for several years I would say that wind control/ dust blowing in your face (wind to your back when sawing)should be a consideration.
I HAVE A HM122 2019 MODEL AND OTHER THAN MY TRACTOR I BELIEVE IT IS BY FAR THE BEST TOOL I HAVE EVER PURCHASED I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WANTING TO MILL LUMBER FOR THEIR OWN USE A WOODLAND MILL IS A VERY GOOD CHOICE FOR THE MONEY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PRODUCTION MILL YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND THOUSANDS MORE TO MAKE IT WORTH WHILE. I DEFINITELY WOULD BUY MY SAW AGAIN.
Thanks for sharing
While agree with most of what you said, my biggest complaint is with the trailer. If all you ever will mill is on your property or nearby, this mill will serve you nicely. However, if you need to take it on the road (in excess of 10x15 mph) this trailering package won’t do the job. I would like to be able to go on-site to earn something to help pay for it.
That looks like a really nice mill. I was watching Outdoors With The Morgans video about the LT50, and I'll tell you what, if I was in the market for a sawmill and had an unlimited budget, I still wouldn't buy it. Just seems like so much unnecessary complication. Don't get me wrong, some of the features like the blade tension measurement are really nice, but all the hydraulics and such just seems like a major disconnect from what makes running your own mill fun and rewarding. It's seems to be so oriented towards production milling that all the joy is lost.
Yeah, I always watch the Morgans.
I kind of had the same thoughts about his new mill
Even at $5000, my mail will take a file to pay for itself if you factor in that my time is worth something.
For me, though I just want to do it.
Mikes Mill is so much money and so complicated.
I think that Mill is best suited for someone who is trying to earn their living from it.
My friend Paul runs an LT 40 with a control station like Mike’s has
Paul’s is 20 years old and I’ll beat up and he didn’t pay that much for it but it is the fastest way to pump out material.
What if you double up on the quonset and build an end wall with the sawmill shed on the outside? End wall and lean to in one?
Teaser 😮
Sorry. I should have videos running the mill very soon. This is an exciting addition for me.
I just re-watched your quonset hut video. I thought you were doing end walls and doors?
I am undecided. I bought the end walls, but I didn’t buy the doors.
I kind of like being able to park three rows wide in there. If I put the doors on, I won’t be able to easily put attachments at the outside of the building, or take logs in and out to the mill.
Congratulations, are you going to mill logs to sell lumber to the public or only use the lumber for your own use, or both?
I am hoping to sell some. The first few months all I’m gonna focus on is milling enough lumber to build the shed. After that I’m open to milling it to sell if I have enough access to the logs.
My thought process with all of the equipment I have accumulated it’s figuring out the best way earn money with it.
Fire Wood seems like a low return on the time spent. Doing work for people with the skid loader and excavator can be profitable if you do it right, but there’s a lot of liability there.
@@RockhillfarmYT , You are thinking it through wisely. There should be a greater profit margin in selling milled lumber than in selling split firewood. A firewood customer might buy two cords of firewood a year. People building wood structures could potentially buy lumber several times during the year. I am looking forward to your upcoming videos. Best of luck with your new business venture.
14hp not a lot of power for big logs had the 126 it cut good but very slow
Did you mean EZ boardwalk 40 ? a year wait
Yes, I believe they were and several other companies
What tractor is that behind you?
Ehhh.. I have run a Hm122 for a few years now . All of them from this line are made out of same size/type/Chinese steel. I cant imagine putting a 30+ inch 12 foot log on them very often.. My advice- Find a mill with roller guides and better quality/thickness steel. You will be breaking the welds on the log bunks turning a 30+ inch log on these mills.
I’ve seen a lot of people who put high hours on these Mills without any problems.
I’ve been using mine for about six months now and have ran a few 30 inch logs.
The new mill from Woodland Mills is 36 inch which really does seem like it’s pushing it
Yeah I heard how good they are too, that's why I bought one. Most are only sawing 12-16 logs on them. You will find the log stops will crack at the welds, the bunks will dent in, and the blade guides are really a joke to stop wavy cuts. If used as intended for a ground only mill and rolling logs onto them instead of a tractor/loader combo will provide the least amount of problems.
👀👀
A true Sawyer cuts the wood for the mill shed with the mill that needs a house.
Yeah, that’s what I said I was planning to do
I’m not planning to buy any wood for the shed Build
Well, there are 13 minutes I won't get back now. Click Bait‼️
Not all videos are for everyone... this comment is attributed more to your discernment than blaming the video content. Glad you've left the chat . Too many negative Nancy's replying. Brock did a great video and service here. Hasta la vista.
I put out this video because I thought there would be people who wanted my explanation on why I chose Woodland Mills, but I don’t want my first video running the mill to be all talking
You’re also right. Every video is not for every audience.
@@rgd2598 yet here you are putting your 2 cents in when it doesn't pertain to you.
Hey Brock, do yourself a favor, and after you mill your lumber, pay someone to come in and grade it for you. I know it's a pain in the butt, but if you're going to pull a permit for the sawmill shed, and you want to insure it, spend the few extra bucks to have the lumber graded the way you're supposed to. Otherwise, if there's ever a fire, or you lose the shed in a wind or snowstorm, if the insurance company ever finds out, they won't pay you. Also, if you are pulling a permit, the inspector may catch it if the lumber isn't stamped, and red tag you.
That doesn't make sense to me ... do the insurance companies not pay for buildings where the grade of lumber is not visible either due to age or paint?... or the stamp is buried inside a hole filled with concrete? Hopefully Kansas is like Texas.... we aren't under the boot of government and have no need of inspections outside of city limits. At least gov inspections ... private inspections for an individuals peace of mind are totally up to the individual 😊
I watched a few videos about lumber, grading and rough cut Sawmill wood.
It seems there are exceptions for agricultural buildings, but I don’t know all the details.
I do know that I won’t be getting a permit for my Sawmill shed so I probably won’t worry about it.
I probably should think about telling the insurance company that it exist. I don’t think I told them I have a Quonset Hut
@@rgd2598 it's more important if you're pulling permits for your building construction, because inspectors can easily catch it. No, insurance companies won't ask specifically if your lumber has been graded, that comes more from inspections. And Brock may be right, maybe there are agricultural exemptions. But I don't know how you're able to insure a barn or it's contents if permits haven't been applied for either. That would seem like an "easy out" from paying a claim if the structure wasn't permitted, and something that insurance companies DO verify often, because it's easily verified with a few phone calls.
I appreciate you bringing it up for me to think about and do my research.
I only watched one video it was actually about techniques for building with green lumber, and the guy was talking about how he could grade his own lumber somehow if it came off his own property.
