    Those blades sure last a lot longer when you don’t drag the log through the dirt.

    Tech tip - drag log over lawn to remove mud and dirt packed into the bark....

    A pair of clamp on forks for your bucket would make log loading a breeze

      I paid $800 for a set of quick connect real forks for my subcompact. They made life a lot easier for many things.

    If you put another valve lower on the water line use top as a on off switch, a lower one for how much you need on the blades. Using the time to move the lumber around. Over a day, saved time makes for more sawing logs. $$$

    I am thinking of buying one of these mainly to cut pine and an occasional hardwood on my property for personal use. Seems pretty decent for the price. I have researched a bunch of them and keep coming back to the harbor freight model.

      @@petewerner1494 I bought a harbor freight 9000 winch a week ago and bolted it to my Jeep rubicon. I used it one time with a snatch block to load some small tractors around 1,000 pounds each on a trailer. The winch kept stopping intermittently until it finally quit. I replaced it with a smittybilt 10,000 synthetic which works perfectly. After that experience I won’t buy the harbor freight sawmill.

      @@ordinarypete I ended up buying a Woodland Mills 126 with the 14 horse engine upgrade. It works great. Agree the predator engines are good. I have four of them. One on an air compressor, one on a generator and two smaller 212s I put on two little tractors when the original engines failed. Great engine for repowering equipment.

    How do you establish the 90 degree side cuts? I get you can cut side A flat, flip against the side posts of the sawmill and cut side B but is that enough to get a true 90 degree cut thus repeatedly doing that gets you a square?

    good video is the thickness of the board the same all the way down it?You can get a set of clamp-on forks for about $300.they will save you from getting your log all mud.

      Or a winch skidding cone $165. Also removing the bark before milling boards removes most of dirt and saves your blade
