Here's what I'm gonna do:

Call WM in the morning.
Find out the ETA on the skid plate.
NOT change a thing.
Will just deal with it in Poplar until skid plate gets here...its just a reset button.  ;D

I think this way I will not void a warranty.  :)
Nah, it would be easier to just put in a bigger breaker.  I hear a copper penny works.  :D

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Thanks for the enlightenment on regen.
My Kubota tractor is a 2007, my mill a 2008 and my Kubota RTV a 2012 so I guess I don't have to worry about the regen crap.
Sounds like a real PITA.

I just spoke with WM in Indy and my skid plate for my debarker is shipping now.  8) 8) 8)

The skid plate will limit the depth of cut that the Debarker makes.  I am wondering how it will work on the deep bark furrows in some SYP?  I would hate to see it skip over dirt that was deeply embedded in rough bark.

Another point to remember; breakers have a limited number of times that they will trip and reset.  They will and do "wear out".

Hopefully it can be adjusted. But as it stands now I'm sawing dirty

You had better order a new breaker.  They get weak and the more it trips, the less it takes to trip it.   :-\

It only trips when sawing thick Poplar bark. Sawed the last of it this morning and it tripped twice.
The rest of the day we sawed Red Oak and Loblolly.....no problems what so ever.  :)

had someone ask what all does the Tier 4 Diesel Dashboard tell you on your mill.

Well here it is. I took this short video and scrolled through the whole board.

These ash trays are magnetic. I am dead set on keeping the sawdust out of my auto clutch and behind the panel where my break and up and down motor is.
Those ash trays hold the 7/16 bolts when I take them out....and hold anything else I don't wanna lose.  :)
