A day cutting wood

[47sawdust]

For my boots,I've used hex head sheet metal screws when it gets real icy,not allowed in the house or metal roof.

Good chains are not cheap, cheap chains are expensive though.
Most of us run trigs on our trucks around here, over 500 bucks for a set of three railers these days. X2 and that is a grand just for a truck, plus a single when you need it on the steer axle. Loaders, road graders, skidders, all go up accordingly from there.

[Peter Drouin]

Paul c, It's too cold up here for the sawdust to work like that. Most times it makes it worse.
Look at this way I will never have to buy more in my lifetime. And it chews the snow and ice well. I took a pix, don't know if you can see it, No slipping when I walk around the yard.


 



Now if I can find a pallet that won't slip off each other I would have something.

The Cat dose help pick up the mess  :


 
Broke a bunch if stickers too.
After I Got the mess cleaned up I went to the farmers that likes my sawdust.
He fills my 1 ton with cow poooo. 3 loads  8)


 
Stuff is hot. ;D I have piles all over my place.
If WDH and the goat come to the North East get together, They can fill their pockets. :D :D :D :D

Peter lol lol lol how much you charge a pocketful to a scallawag?


Hey what if you put snowmobile studs on the bottoms of your pallets?

pocketfuls are free to scallawag. :D :D :D
Studs will mess up the lumber.
Does your cat have a joystick with a button to roll the bucket? I have on my cat and a button for the tilt, Side by side. I sometimes move the wrong one.

[4x4American]

I have a roller button but it's for the aux hydraulics on the loader.  The loader is a normal 4 way joystick plus that button.  The hoe controls are the same (pilot controls) and there is a button for the horn and a roller button for the extendahoe.  I think I would really dislike that roller button activating something substantial like the tilt.  There must be a way to change that I would think

[Peter Drouin]

Once I get the hang of it, I'll be good,
The Cat man said He could speed up the roller button action. For me, it's fast enough.

[starmac]

I suppose it is old school thinking, but I have never been a fan of switches for controls. Lately I have been running an old hood loader that is strictly hydraulic controls, everything on the joysticks, except for the foot swing, out riggers and live heel. The live heel being on a separate lever is something of a pain, but it is still nice to have a feel for the hydraulics.

[Peter Drouin]

Nothing wrong with old school, starmac.

I always enjoy this thread.
A day in the life of A&P Sawmill.

[Peter Drouin]

I'm glad you like it cfarm.
In a way it's a story of how a man can go from a traveling sawer to having a sawmill business at home.

I've enjoyed reading every page posted and learned a lot, only problem is now I want a slab chipper, and a dump truck, and to build a bigger shed...

[Peter Drouin]

Well, 4x4, My life has been, [It's all your fault pete]. Started when my school mates started getting married, I was the last one to get hitched. I kept the boys out too late.

Pual C, What upper crust thing, I started life with 0. ;D


Resonator, I got the chipper because I can sell chips easer than slabs.
I do sell some ½ cord bundled slabs for boiling Maple syrup in the spring,
Then chips for landscaping.

[paul case]

I have no doubt that the reason you are on the north side of zero today is your work ethic. The world needs more folks that will work.

Always used to have to chain up the forklift to get it around the yard even with an inch of snow, was a real pita, last week I filled the solid tires up with the screw in studs the wackos put in their dirtbike tires, world of difference, doesnt get stuck on nothing any more,

[Peter Drouin]

Good idea, alanh

I need to try that on my clark forklift as its tires are almost bald. Thanks alanh for that idea.
