Was out at the threshing show this past weekend on the sawmill, but I was a "go-fer" this time as the mill hadn't been run since 2019.



Milled 8 logs total: 5 pine, 2 red oak and 1 white.



The powerplant for the mill is a Massy Ferguson 97, a rebadged Minneapolis Moline G705. Was told it came from the Amish around the Arcadia/Whitehall, WI area who used it on one of their sawmills. (The tractor pictures are from a few years ago.)

Processor is set up. All the splitters and elevators are freshly tuned. 5R is doing some repairs on the cutting stand Saturday so we should be good to go at Denny's next Sunday! Breakfast in Siren at 0700 and at the woodpile by 8.

Your woodpile looks a little different now. Nice bunch of guys there. Lots of kewl equipment for handling logs. Like I said if your skid steer ever turns up missing don't look for it at my place.

The percent of Stihls versus Huskys was the only issue i had.

Hey, Bob! good to hear Ya. Yeah I got all the wood I can cut up, my neighbor across the road keeps hauling in logs to cut up.
Last year I cut up about 99 percent of his wood 10-12 cord, got about 1/2 that cut now. I have a Honda 4 wheeler with a little trailer that I haul my stuff over there with then I sit on my stool & buck logs!

Honda 4 wheeler...............Best thing to ever come out of Japan. They are the most bulletproof machine out there. It is sad Polaris cannot come even close.

Only thing I don't like with mine is the full time 4x4, can't go far on hard surface, but yeah, bulletproof!
