Piper and Archie playing is the epitome of the Golden Retriever spirit; rough play and nobody gets hurt. Noble creatures!

There is NOTHING cuter than a Golden Retriever puppy!!!

I completely agree about the forklifts. Along with your uses, you can dig up small bushes. I tossed a piece of plywood on them and used it as a quick and dirty portable table.

Hi Mike You are so right about pallet forks, something I do is paint the last 4 inches of the tines to make them easier to see from the cab of my tractor and just re-apply as needed. Keep up the good work Michael 🇬🇧

You are absolutely the neatest lumber stacker ever!

Mike, what a great idea bringing in the smaller sawmill. I have 30 acres of mostly woods in western Indiana. For me, a quality mill under $5,000 is absolutely doable. I look forward to watching your experiences with it. And the pups are pretty stinkin' cute too. God Bless.

Had a skid loader on the dairy farm since 1970. Didn’t get pallet forks till we got a model that had quicktatch. Don’t know how we ever got along without them for 25 years! (85 or 86) 👨🏻‍🦳 Keep up the great videos. From Northeast Wi.

Mike - Another Woodmizer - really? You do know how to have fun. I don't own (and probably never will) a tractor, but your thoughts about the forks attachment makes sense. Loved the video of Archie and Piper at play. And then there's Ruger, just enjoying his chewing on a piece of wood and ignoring the other two. Blessings to you and your family. Hi to Hunter.

I use Pallet Forks more often than the bucket! Great for logs, too! Thanks for the video!

Agree on the pallet forks. This week they unloaded a delivery truck with 3 tier pallet stack of grapevines, moved heavy picnic benches, and IBC totes with and without water. The do lots of odd jobs. My dealer years ago said to tilt the forks up slightly to move the pallet arms. Did this for years until I saw a youtube video showing someone tilting them down......way easier. Have fun with your new saw mill.

Pallet forks are a must for a tractor. Using pallets for storing things one is the way to go. It certainly makes things easy to move around. Pallets are easily available in most good size cities in the industrial areas and are almost free for the taking. One just has to keep their eyes out for them.

I picked up the pallet forks thinking it was a luxury that I would seldom use, I use them ALL THE TIME. Also looking forward to the saw mill videos, I am in the market for exactly that. Thanks!

Good morning Mike and Melissa. Now you’ve got my interests perked and running wild about the new Wood-Mizer sawmill. Looking forward to seeing you getting it set up and running. Great video this morning, good to see Melissa and the pooches all looking good and playful this morning, always a pleasure. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

Glad to see the LX55! I've been looking at purchasing that mill that over the last week or so and I'm anxious to see you get to work on it.

I am building a retirement home on 5 acres of family property. And bought a Kubota L3901, best invent yet. I also purchased pallet forks, grapple, front loader, box blade and a 18 ft trailer. So far I have used all of them and only have about 25 hours on the tractor. But by far the most used implement are the pallet forks. Came in real handy when building the metal building. Love them.

Thanks for the info. I had just about come to the same realization about forks and you confirmed it Mike. And my wife even agreed!

I agree with you Mike, pallet forks are my most used attachment!

Lots Of Information To Chew On!!👍👊

Good morning from western Kentucky forks are life saver I put everything on pallets even my trash bins my back has been thankful

Agreed! My pallet forks rarely come off. It’s a very versatile attachment.

my town t5.115 it cant lift 1,200 lbs of pallets of bricks and the newholland suposed to lift 3,500lbs wich newholland faild that kubota mx5400 is a hulk

Mike, Thank you for all the great information in this video. I love what you guys do and I would like to ask you kindly to put this the new sawmill together on camera with all the challenges it might bring. I will own one of those one day and I would like to know what it will take to set one up! Thank you!

Currently, I use clamp on forks for my bucket on my BX23. They are amazingly versatile. Will definitely be getting the quick attach forks when I upgrade the 🚜!!!. Have a great day, guys!

I agree on the pallet forks and it was the first attachment we bought. Looking forward to the new sawmill videos.

yeah forks are pretty cheap at my kubota dealer

Pallet forks are a must have. I went with the 42" Woods as a compromise between length and weight (extra weight reduces the lifting capacity of the tractor).

Pallet forks were the first attachment that i bought for my tractor real handy! Thanks Mike

I agree the pallet forks are great I drilled holes in the ends and i an use heavy S hooks to lift motors and such, I also can put a trailer ball to move trailers, push a lawn roller into tight areas. Keep the great videos going Mike.

Great idea introducing the LX 55. I purchased my mill at the end of 2019. Not a WM, but the same size capabilities as the LX 55. These smaller and more affordable machines are little beasts. If you want to slab a 36” black walnut your out of luck. But if you want to be able to mill logs that are readily available, and much easier to handle , you’ll need to watch what Mike can do with this “little mill”.

Mike with your forks you can drill a hole on the end using a hitch ball to move around your trailer without getting your truck, plus it makes turning and parking your trailer easier :)

Howdy Morgans, Piper and Archie playing King of the Pine Sawed Mountain. Looking forward to the future videos on the WoodMizer 55. Have to agree the pallet forks are really handy. Have A Day! ;~)

Great little video guys. I so thought you’d bought a re-saw to add to your collection. Kudos to you both for showing great products from small businesses, especially during these difficult times. I look forward to seeing your assembly series on the 55. Take care

Mike I agree pallet forks are one of the most useful attachment for a tractor

💥 I agree with you, forks are definitely overlooked. My 4 year old enjoyed the puppy video at the end. *Keep on tractoring!* 👍

I’m looking forward to that LX55 video series!

I really really like the closing music for this video. I just received a package of brochures from Wood Mizer. I have that twenty acre piece of land you are talking about and about 13 to 14 acres of it is woods. It is our camp in Pike County, Mississippi, and I have a good mix of pines and hardwoods. I have noticed that the Wood Mizer mills are by far the most popular used mills on You Tube. Probably 80 to 90% of the portable saw milling videos I have seen are a Wood Mizer.

On man! I can’t wait to see the series on the LX55. That’s a great idea to demo an entry level piece for those that can’t spend over $10k. Thanks Mike!

Loved seeing Archie and Piper tussling at the end of the video. Another great video Mike.

Love the dog segments! BTW, forgot to mention yesterday, I make lists on envelopes too Mike. Only difference, I use ones that we get in the mail, specifically bills, lol.

I agree. Pallet forks are by far the most useful attachment!

Good lazy morning from MidMo. Expect the front that Phil in KC is seeing to push through about 10, and will get busy after that. More landscape work today - topsoil, plants, and mulch. Funny to watch Piper and Archie play through the sawdust pile. Twice Archie ran over Ruger on his way after Piper. And Ruger just kept gnawing his stick without even looking at Archie. Funny personalities.

Another great benefit of watching #OWTM are the practical recommendations. I own a JD 2720 with a FEL and have thought about the need for a grapple. Very likely pallet forks would be a better and less expensive option. Thanks Mike!

Thanks for showing Archie and company…they can simply take all your concerns and worries away.

Have a skid steer here on our mini farm and I use the forks as much as I do the bucket.

I also agree, my forks are on my tractor more than anything else. I store my other small attachments and random things on pallets so it’s easier to move them around.

Excellent video! I'm so excited to see the new mill go together....I have 50 acre's mostly wooded that for the storm damage blow downs could be made into something other than firewood.

Archie seems to be growing leaps and bounds. Theres nothing I like to watch more than the energy of a puppy.

Great little video guys. I so thought you’d bought a re-saw to add to your collection. Kudos to you both for showing great products from small businesses, especially during these difficult times. I look forward to seeing your assembly series on the 55. Take care . On man! I can’t wait to see the series on the LX55. Forks was the main reason I got a tractor.

You pick great sounds

Great video Mike. Guess I'm like most, not realizing that there was an affordable mill for most people available. Great content. Tell the family hello and have a day.

Anxious to see sawmill work.i might be interested in one

100% on the pallet forks. I also drilled a hole near the end of one of the forks to screw in a trailer ball to move trailers around.

I totally agree! Use my forks all the time

Will be looking forward to the videos on the LX55. I have thought about that one for myself and I have a friend that has a vast supply of lumber that is interested also. Can't wait. Stay safe and have a day.

I do agree pallet forks are very handy and you can do alot of stuff with them. We have a maratach heavy duty pallet forks and welded the forks as wide as they can go. We did that for stacking saw logs and firewood logs.

Preach it Brother Mike. The questions: What is your favorite, what is the first, which attachment do you use the most, and more all have the same answer. Pallet Forks. Most setups can also be used for Moving round bales which just adds to their over all value. I use mine so much I bought a second set to have an emergency spare...

Two questions: How do forks work when putting in a swimming pool? Where are you going to fit the LX55? 🦀

Mike, work out a deal with a pool Installation equipment business and do a DYI video series on installing your own pool!! Melissa can complement your video series with her own video series on the process and enjoyment of the pool on Morgans Off The Leash!

I got the 42" land pride forks and land pride grapple for my B2650 when I bought it a few months ago. I use the forks all the time. I couldn't imagine not having them.

I completely agree, I think the forks are as important as a bucket, it’s the first thing I would get. I like the four footers also but I like to keep A shorter one or just one with a trailer hitch ball on it, it’s just really quick to move a trailer and pick up and drop it when it’s in front of you.

Good Evening from a very cold 36 or 3.3c in Australia. Have a wonderful day. From Nanette and Frank in Australia

I agree about the forks. I bought a tractor package and added forks to the deal because i needed to be able to move hay bales. thought about a hay spear but realized I can do a lot more with forks.

Archie is going to be ruling the roost in no time. He's got spunk, intelligence, and more energy than Piper and Ruger together.

Absolutely, 100% correct, I use my forks for everything, great advice.

I agree MIke, the pallet forks have more uses than you think when you first get them. Have a day

I love seeing the dogs play. Even laid back Ruger. I bought my tractor with forks. I compromised on tractor size, that's my only regret.

Looking forward to the new sawmill in use. Archie is growing so fast.

Looking forward to the LX55 series of videos!

There you go spending my money again...... the saw mill has me intrigued. Can’t wait to see the videos. Great video, but, I’ve come to expect that🙂. By the way love my pallet forks.

Great video, loved it!❤

Great video Mike. Can't wait to see the Woodmizer videos to come "Joe Said it would"

I agree. I keep the forks on at least 90 percent of the time. Between moving logs, carrying things on pallets, I even have an enclosed platform that I use to trim trees or any time that I have to reach higher projects. Almost like a small bucket truck.

Agree with the forks. I actually have two sets. One is 48" inch and pretty beat up and second set of 36" that are actually straight for now. Looking forward to seeing the new mill in action.

I agree Mike. I use them more than the bucket or the grapple. I recently threw the hydro belt on my mower and couldn’t get to it without pulling the deck. I put the forks on the tractor and lifted it up to where I could get under it and work on it. I power washed the underside of the deck and sharpened the blades while I had it in the air.

We had a weatherman in our area like that and the story goes like this. He got a letter that said thank you for your forecast just got done shoveling 6 inches of partly cloudy off my walkway 🤣 thanks for the memory Mike

Agree 100% on the pallet forks I use them way more than my bucket

The dogs playing at the end was awesome! Great video!!

Please don’t forget your turners wanting beautiful cherry turning blanks when you start using the LX55. It might be helpful to you to put out the question of what dimensions your turning subscribers would order. Maybe your FedX son would be able to keep that info for a future revenue opportunity. Just saying that turning blank business could be lucrative. From Central Texas, greetings and Have A Day!

Pallet forks are a must, I use them probably more than the bucket. But I would like to get a grapple next . 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yes! Most definitely 48-inch forks with a high load capacity. I use my pallet fork/hay spear attachment most of the time (until I get a Kubota SVL65 skid steer).

100% on the forks. Good advice Mike! Happy Independence Day!!

Great Video,didn't take much to figure out the link problem from yesterday, might have been a blessing in disguise they emailed me that they got such a large response from your link that they had to update the website, hey Hunter "have a day" keep up the good work always look forward to your videos

The joy of watching a puppy play !

i was going to tell you a friend of mine has 5000 acres full of trees and he has a saw mill like yours and a few other saws . What he did is built a Metal Building with just a back wall . It is 60 x 100 feet . He also has a small Kiln to dry out the wood . He powers it with all of the saw dust and Chips he ends up with . He did pour a 100 x 100 foot cement pad to but it all on . Works great .

Really looking forward to the small to the small mill build and use videos.

I just bought a set of forks about 2 months ago and so far they are the handiest attachment that i have. I was debating on the forks or a grapple and my wallet just wasnt thick enough for the grapple. Now that i have the forks, my want for a grapple is still there but in much harder to justify. Long story short, i love the pallet forks, very handy, they really are. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I got the grappler then made my own forks that the grappler clamps down on.

I think we are all waiting for the day you’re going to start the big dig on the pool for Melissa and the kids!

great idea .id like to see how it works and how hard it is to build and run

27 point something acres, about 22 in woods, mostly black locust with a few walnut trees mixed in. More honeysuckle than anything. Property has set vacant for many years and honeysuckle has taken over. I love your RK 37 tractor videos, bought my RK37 on January 1 this year and drove it to the property. RK is only 2-3 miles from my property. I have since added a graple, brushhog, box blade, landscape rake and a Woodland Mills chiper. I have about half acre for a food plot. Removed the old house and built a 40x64 pole barn. OK, I did not built it, Amish crew did. Primary use is hunting and hiking once I get some trails cut. Poisen ivy everywhere. I do enjoy your videos, wife says you are my best friend that I have not met.

Love it!

Nothing more fun than seeing a puppy grow into his legs and learn how to really use them. #GOARCHGO

Marty Parsons of Woodmizer PA is the Best of the Best . Top-notch

Y’all be doing a good job 👍

Have a day- love you guys....

Archie is growing up so fast!

Good deal, I've been wondering about the LX55. This will be good to watch. I bought a used 1992 Wood-Mizer LT40 6 years ago and from the service I get from Wood-Mizer, you'd think that I'd bought it brand new from them. Good company!

I've found that if you drill a hole in one of the forks, you can put a long shank ball through it with a hole drilled in the shank for a clevis pin and be able to move any trailer around with ease.

Agree on comments with pallet forks. I have an L3901 and and bought pallet forks after I decided I couldn’t justify upgrading for grapple. I really wanted a grapple. I move a fair amount of slash on my property and move it to burn piles. I had no idea how much slash I can pile on the forks and move around. They work wonderfully for that and now I really don’t know why I would need a grapple.

Great Kubota ❤️🌳🌲❤️

Saw a video about painting the tips (6") of your pallet forks orange to give them some contrast, making them easier to see and guide. Just something to think about.

Happy to see you do more equipment evaluations Mike and expanding the sponsor relationships. Now just need to get in touch with a company that name sounds like Swimming Pools of America.

Fork are probably my most-used implement as well. I also pulled the bladder out of an IBC tote (like the ones you're using for firewood at 16:08),. Put the IBC frame on the forks and secure it with a tie-down strap to use as a man lift.

Good morning everyone! After a few days of 30 degrees C plus (approx. 90F) we finally got some rain in the Netherlands this morning and we're cooling down..

Had wondered what you used to place them large logs on the sawmill,makes sense now.
