In the 11 years that I've owned Tom, the Baker sawmill, I've had to repair or replace the rain cap on the exhaust several times.

Last week when repairing the hydraulic pump I noticed that the rain cap was cracked again so I decided to go to plan B and do an exhaust pipe modification to eliminate the rain cap.Read More

Anyone know where to find headlight / marker light fuses
or fuse box ? Sounds like a silly question, but neither YouTube or the dealer seem to know
Under the dash in the middle there are electrical connections, but no fuses
Thankyou

Hi there,
I own large acreages that are never cut prime forest. Heavy white cedar density and ridiculous quality. The cedar is selling for $1000/1000MBF ($1 per foot) currently at mills within 45 minutes to an hour from my properties.
I approached someone who was in forestry in another field and wanted to get into logging and offered them a 50/50 split of all profits (so after trucking costs)from the timber on my land. High end veneer sugar maple, all the white cedar which is all together and the "fish board" stuff.Read More
