Its been awhile

[Jeff]

I have the Wood-Mizer all prepped to go on a journey. I'm just waiting for a slot in the weather where I can get it the 187 miles to the U.P. and saw up the cedar and Tamarack that it stacked on my property. It was not running right the last I tried to use it. Had to pull the choke to keep it running. I trouble shot it to being the old gas line and bulb. So, the 1986 wood-mizer lt30 has a new tank fittings and fuel line.  This is a solo journey.



 

Furby sent me these photos yesterday. I gave him some cedar and this is what is left on the ground for me to get sawed. He hauled home a trailer and truck load. That tamarack is going to be a handful for just me and a manual mill.

That looks like a good whack, how long you staying?

[Magicman]

Dat DanG Furby shoulda stayed and been the tailgunner for you.  :D

[Jeff]

As long as possible! I'll take my crossbow too. Its suppose to snow Wednesday but be decent Thursday. (50) so I'll probably go up Wednesday. I'm just going to cant the cedar and I'm not sure about the tamarack.

I tried to get him but hes like a shrew.

    Pretty logs. Is your tractor up there or other handling equipment? Good luck on the sawing and the hunting. Stay safe.

[Jeff]

Quad with a winch is up there. That's it. My tractor doesn't have any real log handling abilities.

[Texas Ranger]

Be careful my friend, do you have cell service up their?

[Jeff]

Where the logs are on my property there is just enough signal to use the phone to make calls or text.

[Darrel]

I wish you all the best of luck Jeff and above all else enjoy your time there!

[thecfarm]

It's always nice sawing for yourself.

[WDH]

Sounds like some fried fish is in order  ;D.

[Jeff]

Off to the land of ice and snow.

Off to the land of ice and snow.

It sounds like a good time. BTW, the Onan is alive and ready to be transplanted on my LT30. Did you have any clearance issues by the starter with the engine lifting mechanism?  looks like it's going to be close.

   Don't know what the wood will look like but you sure have some pretty surroundings to be working in. Our leaves here look like they are going to fall before they ever turn colors this year. We even have a street festival (Railroad Days) this weekend with special trains coming along the New River Valley and stop to let people take pictures of the foliage. Looks like I need to send them your way.

   Don't get so tied up sawing you forget about that crossbow too. I'd love to see a picture of a big deer hanging on one of those pretty red maples. Take care.

[Darrel]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one to pull an orange sawmill with a red truck. 

1 get a deer
2 get the logs sawn

And above all else, have a good time!

[Percy]

Thats a nice pile of logs.....If you haven't milled in a while and have no grunts, you are gonna find muscles you haven't spoken to in a while....The kind that can make you walk funny..... ;D ;D

[Banjo picker]

Thats the first fall folage that I have seen that looks nice.  Trees here are just like Howard's ... leaves falling off without changing color.  Banjo

[Jeff]

Nippy!

Enjoyed the videos.  When you get back home, show some more of that log trailer from your first post.  Is that arch attached to the trailer or is that a Logrite loaded on it.  Interesting

[Jeff]

That's a furby rig. Propane tank hauler.

[Jeff]

I made two videos of how I wa loading logs. I made two because I thought the first one didnt record. I'll upload the second on too, as it was a bigger log. Fist I need to take a break and go fill my blade lube tank. I'm getting pretty sore, but i may not get anudder day like this one.
