Cherry Log Fail
Did you ever feel like a job was never going to be completed? This log fought me all the way today.
I loaded the log with the Bobcat S250 skid steer. This is a great piece of machinery. It is small enough to fit in tight spots and has excellent power for its size.
Once the log was on the sawmill, I noticed that it was a little too wide for the saw. Out came the Stihl 661C chainsaw to take care of the problem.
After I started sawing the log, I got the blade stuck and had to adjust the log a little. I thought I had corrected this problem, but apparently, I was wrong.
Next, the sawmill decided it was not getting enough fuel. Turns out, my fuel pump was not functioning. Off to the store I went (with much frustration). Returned from the store, replaced the fuel pump, and started the sawmill again.
Once again, the saw got stuck. Check out the video for the remainder of my frustrating moments.
Even after all this, I can say I still love my work. Thanks for checking out my video. – Chuck
