Nice start there. That old tractor looks small. Even a pic of BD in there,,,,, See it took until post 17 to break something, well done!!After watching the video and seeing this is there anything that keeps the saw from coming off the tract? Heavy or not there should be something.
Anything that keeps it from coming up off the track? You are cutting pretty big logs on there that may move. Heavy or not you don't want that to happen.
I like it. You will be able to make some sawdust with that bugger! Very cool. I'm thinking that will pay for itself over time. Not to mention the time hassle of going to the lumberyard....hauling out what you need for the hide site, etc.
Nice acquisition, Big D! Now you need a small forge, then you could make your own nails and hinges. You'd be totally off the grid, and in a position to recycle from whatever scrap you come across on your land. Like trashed mower blades, and other carnage.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
That is just amazing! Stain that a bit darker would make a great bar top in a log cabin. So is the carnage report up to two mishaps? A bolt and now the cut scale? Are we counting these?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd like to see that bar top in your house, or some of that wood lining a closet or yours JR. In the past our homes, well some of them would have cedar lined closets. The scent of the wood which is pretty heavy is repulsive to bugs. It's like getting a permanent termite barrier.As for carnage...CAREP...I guess it is carnage, although pretty light...Caused by the tractor (Not me!) But I don't really want to start off with a mishap, would rather start with a beautiful pile of freshly cut boards and timbers...

Being minimal carnage not worth keeping track of, swept under the rug....check!Don't you have walnut at the farm too? Maybe in the old barn she'd building? That too would make some great interior additions. How much time did you have in cutting that 5x5 to size? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is really great Don. And ditto other comments about the look of that wood. I bet you could sell some of that to some woodworkers close by. Very cool stuff! I like that.ETA: I had to laugh thinking about your neighbors....from late night vehicle work, tractors running around and now the RRRRRRMMMMMMMM (not sure how I spell the sound of logs being ripped! ha!) of a sawmill. They must love you! Make sure you fire it up on Sundays during cookout time.
