Our New TimberKing 2520 Sawmill! 

Years ago, I delivered a Jonserred chain saw mill in the middle of a guys property. First thing he did was mill locust posts for a shed to cover his mill and then he proceeded to mill the wood to build his house.

Are going to be doing that as a side business? That looks to be a top of the line product.

At 19 years old my grandfather bought a sawmill kit in 1949, it was a belt driven system with a stationary circular saw that has a large carriage that runs the logs through the saw. and to this day we still run that old mill, we sawed a bunch of hemlock lumber that we used both for my barn and will be using on a new shed, very cool old tech. the mill you guys got will be amazing!

That's quite a nice unit you got there George. Congrats, looking forward to see it in action

If you haven’t watched his RU-vid channel is TC Sawmills. He’s based out of norther Wisconsin. He’s an expert on the Timberking Sawmills.

This is the video you burn to a DVD and keep on the shelf with all of the other shop manuals! Lots to remember and I know I always forget some detail "what did that guy say again?" Look forward to the lumber videos!

So happy for you guys. Your Dad is “wired” for one of these saw mills. Surprised he’s waited this long! Enjoy

Welcome home. i miss you. Your brother did a good job milking the cows 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

Timber King has a long history. They started over a hundred years ago as Belsaw.

First order of business. Saw lumber to build a sawmill shed. 😂

Awesome machine !!! Now when you need lumber around the farm you have a saw that will produce>>>>>>>>congrats !!!!

I worked for a farmer in Indiana who also (unfortunately for me), had his own timer mill which he used for cutting railroad ties. It was old and archaic. I hated that thing. If he had a mill like yours, I might even have enjoyed cutting the odd railroad tie.

We had a Frick sawmill. Had to set foot posts and rails. Took awhile but she was quite level. Had a Chevy motor that drove the belt.

For $90k they better be good at service and adding in wear items.

Almost all of Jonas S's sons have cut logs for me in the past ten years. I was telling Sam the other day that you guys were getting a new mill and he was wondering what kind I guess now I know what to tell him LOL

I have a Woodmizer sawmill and I like to use a small paint brush and ATF to oil the chains. Less mess and the ATF only goes where you want it.

We've had a 1600 since we bought it back in the 90s. Ours maxes out at 17'

I started with a Norwood sawmill and upgraded to a Woodmizer. The Timberking is a great mill too. I have a friend that has one. They are lots of fun.

Welcome to KS. Couple hours south of KC.

Are you doing custom work with the mill?

My best advice for you would be to join the Forestry Forum. There you can get true and honest advice and real world experiences about sawing the right way and help in any situation you might find yourselves in. I personally bought a Cook's AC36, but TK was my second choice. I'm located only 3.5 hours from Cook's. Be careful and keep safety your first priority. Good luck!! Sawdust is adictive!

Nice new toy! You're going to give the Amish a run for their money!

I can already see that that saw mill will be a very useful tool on the farm.

Wow! Gierok lumber company coming soon.

That is a heavy duty looking mill .there will be great video,s with it in use

With all the firewood you cut and the real nice stands of trees you have it only makes sense to have a portable mill. When needing hardwood lumber for your barns and other projects, that machine is easily worth the investment.

You folks should have plenty of raw material with the wooded areas around the farm. The representative gave an impressive hands-on tutorial for operation of the mill. It will be a learning curve getting used to all the features, etc. The band type blade is sure different than the circular blades on local Amish sawmills in our area.

That is one sweet sawmill!! Very heavy duty. Will last a very long time. Thanks 😅.

Wow! It is the sawmill you have been talking about! What a road trip!

Looking forward to sawmill videos

Wow. I hope you took notes.

Your farm was in good hands !

That is one nice portable saw. Friend has a very old portable saw but it is all manual, always have to do all the calculations manually, no computer control on it.

What all do you plan on doing with your own saw? Mill your own? Custom work have projects to do in the near future? Looks like a good unit

That is a big mill. I guess you guys are going into the timber business. Always good to have a side hustle.

I do not know anything about sawmills, but I know to come to your farm if I need help 😂😂😂😂😂😂Great Video Aaron and George.

Looking forward to the videos😊

❤😊COOL 😎 YOUR BROTHERS AND THE GIRLFRIEND DID A GOOD JOB 👌👍 !! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE SAWMILL WORK !!! WE HAVE A BIG SAWMILL AT THE LE SUEUR COUNTY PIONEER POWER SHOWGROUNDS ❤😊 FOR YOU GUY'S CAN COME AND SEE IT IN ACTION IN AUGUST !!! AND YOU CAN COME AND SEE MY 4 BOTTOM ROLLOVER PLOW 😊😊❤❤

thank you

Nice Christmas present. You got it home just in time. There's lots of snow now as of this morning.

Great purchase. You use the sawdust for calf bedding. Can not wait to see it in use

CONGRATULATIONS MR GEORGE !! Can’t wait to see using the mill at home. Thanks guys!!!

My neighbor has a woodmiser. He gives me all his saw dust for bedding lol

That’s a good investment for your farm you have plenty of trees that you cut when you are cleaning up the woods and fence lines. You can always use the lumber on the farm. Great video god bless

That is the nicest sawmill I have ever seen for residential customers.

I think this will be a great addition for your Farm!! You guys are so mechanically inclined, and obviously have plenty of trees available to mill!! Very best of luck on your new venture, as it appears to be very well designed, and constructed!! Thanks again, Vic!!

Check out a square to round plastic pipe adapter. To get sawdust closer to the ground . Thanks

I'm a regular viewer and I'd like to welcome you to the sawmill family the timber king looks like a pretty good mill I myself own a wood-mizer mill I've built many buildings on my small farm and saved thousands of dollars milling my own lumber So Congratulations!!

That’s an awesome mill!!!! We bought a Timber King 2000 about ten years ago. We made the same trip you guys did. They are a great company. No issues with our mill except the usual wear parts.congrats!!!!!

I had a Cooks MP32 back in the day when i was still farming. I lived about 1 1/2 Hrs. away from Cooks so it was a logical choice for me. I loved sawing but I also had 4 chicken houses, about 70 beef cows and row cropped cotton so after letting it sit for about a year while busy with the money makers I sold it. Sometimes i wish i had sold everything but the cows and saw. Enjoy watching the videos. Look forward to the sawmill videos now. A lot different from South Alabama. lol

For the money ya paid it it's well worth it cuz I do see it as a great side business especially cuz I bet alot of people would love to have some of there wood cut on site instead of going to building supply store

Nice !! waiting for videos on this.

I bought a sawmill to save money on lumber no matter what it cost 😂 I think you’re all really going to enjoy it 👍

This is the exact machine that I would like to get. The staff at Timber King/Woodmaster are the best. Even to us tire kickers... Great video, congrats on getting a great machine

Nice purchase, It looks like a good unit.

2 farm boy in a big c>ty always a good time lol

Wow alot to learn Its great to have the video to fall back too

How good is your new mill fantastic I worked in our timber mill in the south East of South Australia when I was young thourly enjoyed it I can't wait to see what you mill great video cheer 😊😊

Wow!! Milk prices must be good! That’s quite the investment

Good vid. I enjoyed the trip for your new piece of equipment

Really enjoyed watching this. Something I have never seen up close. You will enjoy using that.

Liked the video, a lot of valuable instruction. Look forward to your videos using the sawmill.

I’d say you purchased a beast , it should serve you well. Congrats George

No way! That’s awesome! I have a 1220 Timberking that I have used for about 10 years. Works great but everything is manual.

This is a 100k machine minimum. The farm is evolving. Acquiring the tools that they believe are needed to grow the business. Huge outlay not being purchased to cut up a few logs. Should be interesting.

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO GUY'S 😊

We have the new York style tiestalls . We took the water out of the neck rail and ran all new pex in the ceiling directly to new farmer boy ag drinker cups .

As far as I'm concerned you got the best. If I were to get one it would be a timber King. I think I would get a debarker on it. Thanks for the videos.

Hope you had a good trip. Looks a very interesting set up. All the best 🇬🇧.

Nice machine congratulations on getting one I hope everything works out well for you have a good day stay safe stay healthy stay happy And we'll catch you on another one

I have a timber king 1600 good and reliable. I like the auto log turner on your new toy.

Congratulations on the 2520. I have had a 1620 Timberking for a few years now and the additional features would be awesome, I just couldn't afford them at the time. I like the TimberKing sawmill and their service is second to none. I had to call for a replacement drive belt and they replaced under warranty which I did not expect. When you call, you are talking to the experts and not a call center somewhere creating a call ticket and you have to wait a few days for an answer. I have called them sitting on the sawmill in the field and had the answer without missing a beat on the job i was doing. Everyone I have talked to is very knowledgeable. They even helped me on how to saw extremely small log like a telephone pole. The really small stuff is harder for me to deal with on the sawmill than the big stuff. Enjoy!

Hello awesome machine. We have alot to saw up here. I hope to get something going someday also. Enjoyed your video have a great day.

Good luck with the new mill. I look forward to the videos. Looks like a formidable piece of equipment that can benefit your families.

good for you guys cant wait to see in action at the farm cheers

Yeah that was a very impressive walk thru and serious unit. I’m in love.

Very good mills

friend has a timber king its the base model cut a lot of wood nice unit

Another side benefit for the farm sawdust makes decent bedding to supplement y’all corn fodder

Curious if the saw mill is bucket list item your finally could pencil out financially and available time or if you are buying it to prep for a large building project or new business adventure into larger scale furniture building? I was also wondering if the motor controller has option for inputs which could be programed for an idle/max power switch to idle down without having to repeated tap the up and down the engine speed. Thinking the repeated taps to a button that is exposed to the weather. Just a suggestion to you and Timberking.

Very nice sawmill 👍🏾 congrats on your purchase!

Nice addition to the farm it will come in handy when you you need framing lumber and sheathing boards, square fence post etc, nice useful purchase guys good luck with it George.

Nice looking unit. Will be waiting to see you guys using it. Congrats on your new purchase.

You guys are good people I hope your new machine works out well for you deserve it

You guys were only about 45 minutes from where I live . I don't own a mill but looked at the TimberKings when I was thinking about getting one. They're in an industrial park off of Hwy435 and Front Street. That looks like a really nice mill, and I'm sure it will serve you all well for many years.

Great looking sawmill

Good video and job really nice mill nice they showed you everything. I have a woodland Mills 130 max there was know way I could buy a mill like that. I hope Dad gets a lot of enjoyment out of it. Aron you and your brothers may have to milk the cows for a while first 3 months I sawed every day I could. All of you take care be safe and well. Mom may want to run it to.

Super excited for this new addition to your farm! Can’t wait to see all the adventures you’ll have with it.

I love your episodes, Thank you.❤😊

Always thought my own mill would be nice, but I always work alone at my place, and have gotten to the point it's lost appeal. Looks like a great unit, that Kubota engine is a long way from steam powered mills! 😂 Great video, Timber King should pay y'all for using this for advertising!

it is beautiful. I wish it serves you well.

I am sure that you will find many uses for this machine and will become very competent operators. But, wow. it looks pretty complicated to an totally saw mill clueless person like myself. From what all the comments are saying, evidently it isn't that bad. Congratulations and good future use of your mill.

Looks a nice bit of kit .can't wait to see you useing it.

Absolutely awesome sawmill. I enjoy sawing lumber as well

Congratulations. I can't wait to see you guys getting quality lumber, having fun, and satisfaction .

Congratulations on the new mill. My dad and I have a woodmizer lt35 hydraulic. Timberkings are good mills also.

Well that was very educational to see and very informative. Thanks for letting us see a small demonstration and I can’t wait to see it more on the farm. God bless

Hey y'all are only about 3 hrs from me ....what do u think of the country side

Your new sawmill is like a great, big, table saw. Very nice. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Wow ! what an amazing bit of kit, cant wait to see you using it. I love the mill,I woud just have to have a fully mechanical system, I could never cope with the computer part ! Thanks for sharing yout trip.
