around a sawmill!! I use my 120JD trackhoe around here quite a bit

Lyle , it sure is handy having a track digger about, but what with all
the waste timber? Time you were thinking about some sort of
chopping device to at least turn all that prime burning stuff into
firewood. I am sure there would be a market for it with the yuppies?
Or do you not have Yuppies over there?

what do you do with all the scrap slabwood?

Bret4207 · Nov 3, 2013

Around here the Amish mills keep 1 man or older boy employed tailing the mill and sawing the slabs into 16" stove wood. It get's tossed directly into a Englishmans dump truck at a lot of places and the loads are delivered either to a guy with a bundle wrapper that turns them into the camp wood you find at stop and grabs or it gets dumped at the home of an outdoor wood boiler owner. Some gets cut 4' and goes to people with sugar shacks. Not much goes to waste around an Amish mill! THe sawdust gets sold for bedding.

Lyle, are those phone poles in the fist pic or peeled wood?

Just can't beat a hoe with a grapple thumb on it.

Looks like a lot of good wood going to waste as
firewood....The Amish mills here "slab it up", too,
but only the stuff that is not useable for anything
else. About 95% Oak here, and they can't PAY to get
rid of the sawdust!

They are the arm and Hand that we wish we had been equipped with from the factory. Jim

Don't you just love that thumb. I put one on my Mini and then
converted it to hydraulic just what it needed to make it a real
work horse.

I just have a little mill, so I would feel kind of silly with something
that big but I can see lots of times where it would come in very
handy. It would also be a lot handier than my massey 35 with
loader and forks when it was time to load logs on the wagon at a
landing.

Lyle lives a little north of yuppiville. He isn't at the north pole, but you can see it from there!!
