Read articles →This episode focuses almost entirely on the physical challenge of repositioning and beginning to mill an oversized 34.5-by-26.5-inch oak log that exceeds the sawmill's capacity. The TYM 4820 appears mainly as the tool used to maneuver the log; tractor-specific detail is minimal. Most of the runtime covers chainsaw work, blade changes, and problem-solving on the fly. Best for hobby homesteaders interested in the milling process rather than tractor shoppers evaluating the 4820.
An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing a real work session on their own property, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
The mill head is raised as high as it will go, but the log is still too tall to fit even though it would work widthwise.
He avoids walking between the log and tractor, uses wedges to hold it in place, and stops to think before every move.
He plans to change to a 7-degree ripper 37 blade because oak makes for hard cutting.
