Sawing RAILROAD TIES: The heartbeat of a rural SAWMILL!

Sawmill!

Thanks!! This mill is pretty much everything I can ask for! If I had about 4-5 good hands I could really push out some product!

You’re up in the good timber country! I sure would like to have y’all’s veneer market!

Thanks 👍

Thanks! It still needs some improvement to help with flow. I would like to put a green chain in and a lumber stacker

Thanks for the sub!

You probably cut some nice timber in those hills over the years!

I’m from north central Arkansas around Mountain View!

Yes we should and we are slowly doing it. The exhaust has a flapper on it and we usually hang a bucket over it if it’s going to rain

Hello Kelly! This is the mill we got from Jeremy that you have cut on before. Donald is my dad. The little loader will pick up 15 ties but not 20 and will pick up 20 cants and handles bundles of lumber. We bought it out of Clarksville Tennessee from a dealer and it’s been a great machine. I believe it’s the 35 size and if you got one size bigger it would be great. I’m not sure what we payed for it but it was pre Covid so I’m sure the price has gone up.

You got it!

It’s from the mast that carries the hydraulics to the carriage. We don’t keep the rain off the mill just the controls that are inside the saw cab under a roof. The lumber is stacked on 3/4 thick sticks between layers to help with air drying. Rain on the top of the stack doesn’t degrade the lumber because it evaporates pretty quick.

@@TheOutdoorRight thanks.

I wish I could run an electric motor but unfortunately I don’t have access to three phase power. The power unit is a Detroit 8v92 it cranks a lot of horsepower

Will do!

We got it now!

Thanks for watching!
