I noticed the barn cleaner a few days ago and was surprised at how slow it goes. I assume it keeps up with the head saw but it sure doesn't look like it would.
It keeps up with the headsaw and gangsaw. But if we are notching too it’s gets a little over full but stays going The problem is when the sawdust gets out to the small. Vibrator. The holes get plugged up then will not fall into the auger to go up into the big bin. So the over run of sawdust goes out to a smaller bin that we dump with the loader but we make around 100 yards of sawdust everyday
I was swamping my guy piling the 8x8s today. We aren’t really set up to move them around that fresh aspen is so heavy but we got a fairly good system it’s the best we can come up with because they need to be chainsawed I was getting an 8x8 every 90 seconds or less
They are sold for legging They stand up 2 i beams that have s channel 8 1/4. The i beams are 10ft apart. The 8x8s sit in the channel they stack them on top of each other then back fill against them somthing for construction. Then they get buried never to be seen again We use aspen balm Cottonwood. Red pine spruce white pine We do 3” 4” X random. Then 6x6. And 8x8. All for legging. Just different size i beams And they are sold for good money considering they bury them Afterwards
With the prices down like they are. It just doesn’t make sense to pay guys too much overtime right now. We have never really worked 7 days a week. But sometimes run an afternoon shift
Enjoyed te sawmill's actions!

Sometimes you can make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.

Since Canada had those huge fires a few years ago, I would think the lumber prices would be up, and you'd be sawing your back sides off.... Dan

Everything is operated neatly to cut wood blocks to supply human needs, but remember not to forget to protect the forest, everyone.
Here in Ontario. We plant pine plantations 100s of hectres. Then the hardwood grows up straight Always replanting here anyways
