Welcome to The 2024 Forestry Forum!

Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?

Or would you just like to pull up a stump and visit with a friend?
If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you.

Governor not working

Posted in Sawmills and Milling

Written by Klicker

I have a 2006 LT40 Hd with a Kohler command 750 Efi. My problem is the governor will not kick in when under load. I installed a tachometer so I could check if I had a problem like I thought. Any ideas on what to check. I checked and replaced the throttle cable. I am getting the right hi and low rpm readings....

Good morning all.

At last winter has arrived in Scotland. It's down to -5c now and it going to be cold for the next few days.
Just in time for a big order for cladding boards.
Can anyone give advise about milling frozen wood?
Are different blades required? Lubricant? In fact any tips will be gratefuly received.Read More

Raise prices or add blade fee?

Written by NewYankeeSawmill

I think I just wrapped up my last job for the year (truck's going into the shop for head gaskets, be at least a week)... Reflecting back, I spent more money on blades than I anticipated. I want to adjust my pricing to recoup this cost.

I currently charge $50/hr, and when I get on site and setup the mill, the first thing I do (in front of customer so they can see, I point it out to them), is throw a fresh blade on straight out the box. It's kind of a sales-tool: Look, I'm putting on a brand new blade just for you!Read More
