All this videos of people having trouble going up hills is makeing me feel embarrass I got stuck on flat ground about 10 feet after pulling out of the chute fully loaded had to get a tractor to pull me out.
But in my defense it had been raining for a couple days but I feel that if I had a manual I could've gotten out or more stuck
What is either the driver or truck lacking here?

After sawing out a cant youve got jacket boards, flitches, slabs, cants whatever. Thats when controlled drying begins. Kilns have a lot more control over the drying rate and humidity, but obviously not everyone can afford a good kiln nor does every grade of lumber warrant the utility expense to kiln dry it. A barn or fence board or dunnage/blocking, pallet boards etc.. Theres probably not enough margin in those to do more than air dry for most operations.Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -

A small mill like mine, is more of a hobby than a way to make a living, that said there are things to do with them to make a living with them and many do.
You can not compete with lumber yards for regular framing lumber, but start getting wider or even sometimes longer, tapered siding in this area is some decent money, 3 sided logs are too. big dunnage here commands enough money for a small guy to do all right.
There is a little demand for small mills in thicker lumber, flooring for lowblys and side boards for dumptrucks and such.
As far as grading goes, that is a problem for small mills, but not all states require it, most do..
There is specialty cuts and there is a little of that here, but we do not have the variety of species to make a huge deal out of it,
Hard wood has to come from specialty lumber yards, people hat live in areas where they have a variety of hardwoods can do all right cutting lumber.
Here is basically white spruce for saw logs. The best money I have found just cutting is in cabin kits.
siding runs it a close second.
the best I have found is cutting out everything to make portable buildings, outhouses and such and selling the building instead of just the lumber.
Kiln drying is somewhat of an art, and a different art for just about every species, hobby guys can ruin a lot of lumber getting it right. lolFarmerbob1 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Some of y'all have never driven the back roads of Brasil, and it shows. My guess is somewhere in Amazonas or Rondônia; the terrain is so godawful that even the best built roads wash out in a year's time.
No sense in spending tons of money on something that's just going to tear up anyway - they'll drive that old beater til it falls apart.Farmerbob1, Coffey and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Swine hauler, Coffey, Farmerbob1 and 1 other person Thank this.
