Overloaded Our Mill! DON'T DO THIS with your Frontier Sawmills
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2021
- It is in my nature to push the limit on equipment but we overloaded our mill this time. Most of the time, we push our equipment up to the limit, but not over the limit. I pushed the OS23 Frontier Sawmills over the limit by sawing up a log which was to big. We strait up overloaded our mill. About 3 inches to big. It created a lot of extra work in which I had to do unsafe things. We also worked the TYM Tractors T474 to its limit but not over. I am having the rear tires loaded this week, so watch out. All in all, this log had amazing rewards, but I will never do it again. Tony

So nice to hear humble, caring people
You said if we saw something that you are doing wrong to let you know.
If you want to keep your blades sharp when you are milling. Always clean the mud off the side of the log that the blade is entering. Also when milling green oak you really don't have to run any water on the blade. It actually makes it cut harder.
Thank you my friend. I do try to clean the logs and wash them when I can. I have never tried to cut Oak without water. I will try that. Thank you again. Tony
Thumbs up from the Dooley's of Michigan
I ENJOYED THE VIDEO, AND THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CHERRY LOG, I WISH THAT I HAD LUMBER LIKE THAT.
I have some lovely Cherry for the sawmill.
Another awesome Timber Tuesday, keep sending it , we’ll keep watching , God bless America
Thank you my friend. God bless you too!
really good job. i am 73,and i worked in the woods many a year and youre doing just fine,/drops/ az
Thank you
I ise cable and chains on this situation.
You can get on the dry and pull the logs where you can get them without cutting them up.
It doesn't matter in my case. The logs are to big for my mill. They have to be cut up anyway. The Oak cut down size was to the max of my tractor too. I will stay away from trees this big, unless I get a bigger mill. Thank you for watching and the ideas.
Nice video, and it shows that the mill was up to the challenge, once you got the log trimmed. I've been in similar situations, and the one thing I've learned is that no matter how big your mill is, you WILL push it to the limit. You say you won't do it again, but I'll bet you a blade that within a year you will. Keep making sawdust & I'll keep checking in on you.
You may be right. I certainly milled some amazing lumber out of that log. Thank you my friend.
In watching several different millers, I noticed some use their backs to likt and turn the cant and some use their weight to roll the cant. If you pull down with the cant hook you are using your weight, if you are lifting the cant hook you are using you back. As a sufferer of back problems I now use my weight to do as much work as possible. Here is wishing you many years of back health.
Thank you. Sorry I missed your comment
I don't see many on here using the Echo saws. I love my CS-520... had it a long time and it's never failed me.
My buddy who is a Echo dealer twisted my arm. I have loved my Timberwolf ever since.
If you cut up from the bottom 3 or 4"s while it's up in the air then set it down on the ground you won't have to take a chance of getting in the dirt.put a block underneath helps as well.i drilled a hole in two 4x4s n put some rope on it to carry anywhere you want on the tractor.my Kubota had a bar for the loader n I just threw them over that.always will me.very beautiful wood.need to show your wife's stuff that she's doing w this wood.good stuff buddy.
We are going to build some cool stuff in the spring. I can't wait for better weather. It has not snowed, but it has been so wet and messy.
Without risk there is no reward. Nicely done!
I agree but I think I need a bigger sawmill. 🤔
Just ordered the woodland 130 max with trailer. Wish we had good wood like that in montana. Thanks for the video.
I know you are excited to get your mill. What do you have in Montana for wood? We have Red Oak, White Oak, Pine, Hickory, and tones of Poplar. Many other trees species, but It would take days to name them all. I am just learning the basics here. There is so much to learn, but it is fun!
Enjoy seeing you work with the T-474. Hoping to get one in the near future.
I love that tractor.
I have cut a few 23-24” 16’6” long on my OS23 for barn siding. Lot of trimming and it’s slow. My brother runs an LT50 hydraulic and suggested I wedge the cuts on the wide cants and it seems to help take a little pressure off the blade.
It is tough work.
Whoa! That was a monster🌳 You're right, that grain is amazing!
The reward was great, but the risk was to high. I will back down a bit on size.
Hello sir, thank you for the videos I really enjoy them! One thing I wanted to suggest is about your hydraulic line for the grapple. When you were hauling the log out and on the road it was dragging with the bucket curled up. Don't want to see it catch on a root or anything. I know you need the hose length to curl the bucket down. Maybe a bracket can be made to stop it from hanging. Or even just a bungy cord for now. Just trying to help, thanks again and keep the videos coming take care.
You read my mind. I just bought a long spring to hold it up.
Good evening Sir 😊 Now that is big piece of wood 😮 It was muddy field for sure 👍 Great looking wood planks Sir and great team work Cheers !!!
Yes sir. I will never do that again. I think it is just to dangerous for my mill.
@@TonysTractorAdventure 🙏👍😊
That was awesome, most amazing wood, I am impressed with the TYM as well
There was reward in pushing everything, but I will never do that again. I will stay more toward the 20 inch logs I think.
Great video Tony, Looks like that red oak could wear them blades out pretty fast...lol
The first blade had already cut a few logs up, but OAK is tough.
The four feet section will still make some nice short lumber
Yes it will.
Beautiful stuff wish I had some like it!!! Thanks Tony !!! Please keep it up !!!
I bought the OS23 because most of our Timber is 20 inches or less. Once I got the mill everybody wants to give me larger logs
@@TonysTractorAdventure that is usually how it goes !!! After Michael came through 2 years ago !!! Several bought saw mills the small ones I don't hear of any more the bigger one are still cutting wood !!! Stay strong 💪💪💪 and keep it up !!!
Man that was heck of a log.that was a lot of log for that little mill great lumber.now that was a great log when I worked in logging the largest log I cut was 6' at the but.great job with your mill.
It was a big log. That seems like a life time ago. Keep an eye on the channel. We just put a 14HP engine on this sawmill. It is a monster now.
Pretty pretty wood
I have a os27 I sawed few years with original engine I put a 20hp Honda engine on and power feed made it a whole different mill
I think mine will be a different sawmill. Thank you for your comment.
Absolutely beautiful wood. But you worked for it and earned it.👍
Yes sir. It was work, but I love this stuff
Make slow cuts and keep the water turned up to cool the blade. Sure turned out some pretty wood. Would make beautiful flooring. New sub from Ga. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you my friend. I can wait for this snow to get gone. I have some big Yellow Pine to cut.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Lots of rain here in Ga. I have some big Long leaf Pine to Mill. Cut green off and old Farm . I have the 620p Echo saw. I just enjoy it. No issues.
Amazing boards there, worth the effort I bet. 👍🏻
There was the reward of the amazing lumber, but I don't think I will ever try to cut a log this big again on the sawmill. A little too dangerous, but beautiful lumber. Thank you for watching.
@@TonysTractorAdventure keep up the great videos 👍🏻
Finish up the log today.
Tip: when your tires mud up drive to the store and get beer. When you get back the tires will be ready for more mud.
LOL!
Looks to be vaneer quality logs if they are cherry as you said, i believe they would fetch $10,000 or more per log. Something to look into.
They are Black Cherry. I don't know anywhere around here offering that much. These trees are standing everywhere.
That was a heavy stick of wood! When you picked it up whole, I could tell it took all the weight off the rear tires, even with that heavy backhoe on! Stout machine.
Yes sir. Love the tractor.
The engine on that bogs down more than I thought it would after the log was narrowed. Seems like it could use a few more ponies. I am looking at the 31" model but 14hp seems super low. Beautiful log.
So many variables. Type of wood, blade sharpness, how wet the wood is, etc. The OS series sawmills, are not professional production mills. They cut well, but they will never be a production mill. They are great for home use, homesteading, furniture grade lumber sorce, and small farms. Any kind of production mill is going to be in the $30,000 + range. I have thought about putting a bigger engine on mill at some point.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I love all the features on the saw just wish it was a 20hp motor.
I guess it could be upgraded at some point.
@@TonysTractorAdventure the entry cos is low enough to allow of upgrades for sure. The other saw I am looking at is the hud-son but it is $6500 for a 36".
Speaking of doing something wrong. It's good that you have the helmet with the screen, but safety glasses are still needed as wood chips, etc. can fly through that screen.
Thank you for your input.
It's hard to walk away from logs like that. I get them up on the mill and do chainsaw surgery like you did. Did not notice any stress on you log bed even though that log was over weight for the mill specs. You trailer is letting you go heavier. I just take it slow, watch the blade plain, and never overburden the saw head.
Don, thank you my friend. I over built my trailer. I have 12,000 pounds of jacks and the axle. I still will never do that again. 😁😁😁
Great video! Where did you get your jacks?
I ordered them off Amazon. RV jacks.
They are made to take a load. I have put a 2000 plus pound on the mill.
That was a big log and all that mud really made it a pain! Nice job getting it out Tony! Very good looking planks! Hey, what mics do you use? Have a good week my friend! See ya in the next one!
I believe I will stay just a bit smaller in my future endeavors. That log was a bit to dangerous I think.
@@TonysTractorAdventure You worked you butt off with it!
Yes sir. Good old hard work.
Yeah those sawmills are meant for light duty use and I agree that log was way to big for it.
Mud is a real challenge. Frozen ground is so much better except when the log is frozen into the mud. I think you should be slower in lowering the grapple when starting to haul your log. You were still lowering the log when your began your turn. With the backhoe hanging off the back and the load still partially up your center of gravity may be higher than you think. Making any turn when your load is high is risky. If on a slope it can be way too easy to lay your rig on its side. Further, if you are moving heavy loads in hot weather lowering the load should be done slowly so as to avoid sucking air past a cylinder seal, setting the stage for a diesel like explosion with air being compressed over hot hydraulic fluid, possibly bending your cylinder rod. Not a likely, but, possible and expensive. Beautiful grain in your results. Thank you.
Thank you for looking in on us. Until next. Keep on sawing.
I decide how long I want my log, then cut it. If there is a limb in the way, I cut it even with the log. If tractor can't carry it, I drag it with a chain. I never give up my desired lumber length.
I am limited by the sawmill to its biggest cut widths.
I would think you could have gotten the entire log out by backing up to it, setting the outriggers and pulling it out with a chain using your backhoe
It was too much for the tractor. No sense in taking a chance in ripping off an outrigger for a log.
Look like you could put a chain around the log and hook it to the back hoe and gradually move it out of the hole. Choice oak for your Sawmill.
I almost knocked the mill over once. I am not as eager to push or pull the mill anymore.
Hi Tony, nice video is this the 023 10HP sawmill? Does it seem to go through the hardwood well? Thanks!
I bought the 7hp version and then later upgraded to a 14hp engine.
@@TonysTractorAdventure TY was this video the 14 HP? We have a lot of hardwood on our homestead and was thinking of getting the 10 HP but also don't want to regret not getting one that can handle the workload. Great video!
I cut a lot of hard wood with the 7hp. It was a bit slower. I would would buy the OS31 if I had it to do over. A lot of bigger trees are left behind.
Hey, I'm looking to get the OS23. What size motor do you have? Do you like your saw and how is the customer service?
All my questions have been answered buy customer service. I have the 7.5 hp and it cuts well. The bigger engine will let the saw cut a bit faster, but I am happy! I would buy it again.
I have had zero breakdowns in thousands of board feet.
@@TonysTractorAdventure i really appreciate your feedback. You just might have talked me into the sawmill. Thanks!
I will say this. Sawmills are a drug! 😁😁😁
@@TonysTractorAdventure so do you regret getting the OS23? I keep going back and forth on which one to buy. I just really don't want to lay down another $1000. I will say most of my " big" ones are roughly 24" or less. I just don't want to have buyers remorse. Like shooting a buck and the antlers shrink on you. Lol
why didn't you measure the log cuts before you made the first cut to lighten the load
Because, at the time of making this video, I had no idea what I was doing! Still learning. We all knew nothing at one point in our life.
Echo ❤❤
Tony you can lift a lot more with forks. The grapple is very heavy and cuts down on you lifting capabilities. Give it a try.
I don't agree. My grapple weight is 260 pounds. It is specifically made for small tractors. My forks are 180 pounds. I would much rather give the 80 pounds up and have the flexibility of the grapple. In many cases people buy the biggest grapple they can find reducing the tractors ability to lift. It is very important to buy the correct sized grapple for the tractor.👍
@@TonysTractorAdventure I agree with you on that. Im one of the ones that bought the huge root grapple. I think it weighs around 840 pounds. So the forks work for me. I have a Massey Ferguson 2705 tractor with just under 50 Hp. I use the grapple for cleaning up limbs and just general property clean up. I’m here in Northwest Arkansas just under Blue Eye Mo. I also have Norwood hd36 v-2 sawmill with hydraulics. It’s fairly new for me.
I really like that Norwood sawmill. It was out of my price range at the time.
@@TonysTractorAdventure It looks like you do just fine with yours. Great content by the way. I tried to put out videos of me just getting started with using mine but we have Hugesnet here. You can’t upload anything it seems like. I have to use my phone and go up to the pasture to get signal to upload. We’re down in a hole here in the Ozarks.
I understand. We have pretty good internet now, but not always.
For a minute I thought you were going to have to call Hank's wife to get you unstuck. She is becoming an expert of getting people unstuck thanks to all the practice she is getting.
Did you calculate the weight of the log? Just curious what it estimated out to be.
Brad, I put it in the calculator just now and it shows just over 2900 pounds as I was driving down the road. It shows it as just over 2000 pounds when I set it on the mill.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I know it looked really heavy. The tractor did a good job dealing with it (the operator did also).
I felt good with it and was ready to drop the load.
I was nervous with sitting that big of a log with the tractor, it was really tweaking your mill. Good video though.
The sawmill is rated for it. I built the trailer for it to. It is stronger than a factor trailer. I dropped a log one time and almost turned the sawmill over. Never to old to learn.
How long it take you to make one pass through that log?
There are several parts of the video at normal speed. I never timed it. I would guess 60 seconds or less.
Thank you for watching my friend.
That's not to bad. I didn't think about the fact that I probably could have timed it myself. Sorry for my stupidity. Lol
No worries my friend. I enjoy sharing my thoughts on my mill. I love this stuff. Many factors at play on how fast the saw will cut.. blade sharpness, type of log, how wide the log is etc. I have found the OS23 to meet my needs. Have a great week my friend.
what kind of tree is it?
Red Oak
thank you greetings from Poland@@TonysTractorAdventure
You should get a chain and pull it
This was three years ago.
sarcasm warning. ''looks like more fun than a man is allowed to have''.
We do have a good time with it. Can't wait until we can do more of it.
Hi Tony, I think that’s a white oak... maybe the camera adds some extra colour! Lol. I really enjoy your videos. Check out my channel sometime, sawmills, firewood, engine building, these are a few of my favourite things! Happy new year, blessings from Nova Scotia.
It’s a shame, if you had measured sooner you would have had more mill wood.
It doesn't matter. I am learning hand have thousands of logs. If you have cut logs, then you have messed up at some point.
R-4 tires suck in mud nice tractor tho
It does better on yards, gravel, and blacktop. Everything has tradeoffs.
You had all the power you needed, but did not seem to use it, or that tractor muffler works above average, , your main problem seemed to be traction, , I am assured you already knew that. lololol
The problem was the log was to big for the sawmill. The tractor was fine.
Un grosse la grume mais surtout, le moteur est d'une puissance très très insuffisante!
La bûche était trop grosse pour la scierie, mais elle l'a coupée. Ce n'est pas une scierie de production. J'ai pensé à faire évoluer le moteur.
You wasted a lot of lumber need to think things out better
I appreciate your point of view.
John deere is better
John deere doesn't have Sawmills! Gosh.
