Warren Buffet said, "Price is what you pay, and Value is what you get". Few truer words than that. Purchasing products should be no different. I love to buy and hate to sell, part of my social anxiety, so I tend to keep things for the long run. Our dumps are full of cheap products, unneeded purchases, billions of dollars worth, wasted because of impulse buying, not, basically buying junk just to say you have one of those things everyone else wants. So stop filling our landfills, and emptying your wallet!
I am an average guy, who happens to be dutchman, again dutchman are stereotyped as people who tight with their money, overly frugal, personally I don't mind the stereotype, there is some truth there. I personally believe that we in general have learned from our youth that money does not grow on trees, that you want something you need to save for it, and having worked/saved for it, it is much harder to let go of that money. Unlike pulling out a plastic card or clicking a keyboard.

I have the deluxe what are you running for air pressure for saw
These are incredibly good built machines. I cut with the 54 inch variant. They’re definitely more expensive, but sometimes you do get what you pay for. Necessity if you have a larger yard.
We run he Red Runner Deluxe. 3 years in. It's not without faults but it's been a decent machine
I have the outlander 1000 6x6 and absolutely love it. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten one of these, but in a world of sxs I wanted something different. I am envious of the electric dumping bed, though lol. Great vid.
What a waste of 11 minutes. I wanted to see how these machines work and you never ran a log through it.
What’s the max width of this model? Thx
Is the kawasaki engine better than the kholer
Since this part broke once I would order another for a spare so when it breaks again you can fix in an hour instead of weeks later. Reduce your downtime! Also, it looks like some of those hoses at the back rub sharp edges which eventually will cut your hoses or wires. Use pool noodles or tape around the hoses or wires to protect them. Obviously it’s built as cheap as possible but a little maintenance and slight improvements looks like it will go a long way.
For sure. It's a decent machine but not without issues. Preventative maintenance goes a long way
Thanks for the review. I know Pembroke area. My dad cut a lot of lumber with his large modular sawmill in that area in the 80s. I e worked on a few bridges in that area as well. Nice machine.
I believe those Kohlers have a winter setting, you turn the air intake towards the muffler
Mine has 320 hrs. Bought it in kinda rough shape but no complaints so far. Does more than what it seems like it could.
This is the kind of review i like to watch, actual real world use age of these 6x6's, I would love to see more videos of you using your canam if possible. Hopefully this summer i can get my hands on my own. Until then its save and watch videos. You must have a easy face cord plus in the bed.
Any thoughts on ground speed in forward or reverse? I have a 2017 that I bought used with 3200 hours. Seems extremely slow in high gear, in reverse. Pretty much all gears. Takes forever to plow my driveway. Usually running it WOT because I'm impatient.
No it’s quite quick in high maintenance maybe 18-20 mph. Not as fast as my other gear tractor
I have a 2023 Limited 6x6 and it still has the old style front visco lok dif. The red 2024 units have the new smart lok dif. I love my 6x6 with heat/ac and closed cab and 30" tires. Great video!
Where did you find out how to adjust the blade back. Mine is the Deluxe but the chain has stopped and the splitter also. No close dealers. I’m stuck with anew machine that does not work.
Hey Paul sorry I was away for a while. All the adjustments I basically figured out my self. But I would reach out to your distributor for their help. Adjusting the chain tension is pretty straightforward. Losses the two bolts at the base of the saw bar and then using an Allen key just above those two bolts to tighten chain and then retighten those two bolts.
Wow most interesting. You are patient. I have the deluxe with less hours than you - now the cylinder pushing the wood won’t come out and the saw no longer works - all suddenly while I was working. Very annoying - I don’t know how to fix that. Dealer 2 hrs away suggests I bring the Red Runner to him.
Can't fix it if he doesn't have it
Can I ask what he cutting issue was? We run the Deluxe as well. Cuts fine so far
Thanks for the great video. I've watched it several times. I have a 2024 on order and can't wait to start adding accessories to it.
Right on!
I wish i could purchase another one. Ive had mine for 4 years now. I use it at my camp. I usually arrive on Thursday leave Sunday afternoon. And thats every weekend. Its starts when i get there and does not shut off until i leave on Sunday. Hot refuel 9 pm and uaually between 9am 10am. Oil change is done on Sunday when i leave. Wish i had an hour meter on this thing. Also wish they never would have stopped selling this. Mine just started acting up. I am so bummed out right now lol. I totally give it a 10 out of 10. It owes me nothing. Thanks for the video
The one I have seem to work good..only problem...
Dave, have you noticed that it has trouble sucking up leaves? Curious as I just picked up the new model for 23 and first time out seemed like it was shooting more leaves out of the deck than was sucking up. Kinda frustrating. Lmk what your experience has been. Thanks
Yes, I do find that you can only pick up a light amount of leaves, otherewise like you said it shoots more leaves out the bottom. And even if does suck up the leaves they do not get mulched well and very quickly fills the bags. So I do feel your frustration during fall clean ups.
AUDIO SUCKS!
have you had to set the tracking yet? if so any chance you made a video of it, im having a hard time getting mine lined up properly
no I have not had any troubles with my tracking, have you gotten your lined up?
Do you know how much fuel you use on average, per cord?
Good question, I did about 2 cord yesterday on a tank of fuel. I think the tank is maybe 2.5 litres. So I would say 1.25 -1.5 litres per cord.
Does the rubber deck latch in the up right position???
Very good thanks.
Does anyone know it this is quick hitch compatible???
Super video. My generator stopped. You solved it with the spark arrestor. Saved me 1000 dollars to buy another as princess doesn't sell it. My country place runs on generator to keep my basement sump from overflowing. Thanks
glad I could help someone, that is my purpose to hopefully help people or give honest insight. I have learned much from others channels. It had been an amazing generator still and has a lot of hours.
would you be able to send me your dealer info, Mine here in manitoba does not get back to me and i am having issue with the bar not having enough hydraulic pressure to cut the wood
I too had moments that I believed that there was a pressure issue when it came to pushing the bar down, but I have found when that happens it is a clear indicator that the chain is dull. Change the blade and it will go right through the same log.

Love the Safety trousers and work boots.
The diesel tractor is the real motivation here! A must have for any logging event!
Take it right to the local welding shop put that receiver on now you won’t regret it
I like my lights I can mow my neighbors yard in the dark with them
I bought one. It's put outside. In uilt wooden box with large port hole for exhaust and also drilled many breather holes . To prevent exhaust fumes bogging out unit yet it Boggs out/ shuts down, off within 20 minutes any recommendations . Or should I chain it to bumper. Drag, crunch the piece of crap? Thanks m8😊
Actually the more you talk about this unit the more obvious its badly designed and cheaply made..so many problems you pointed out on all your videos combined
Thanks for watching and your reply. Are there days this thing pisses me off yes, are there short falls yes, is it perfect HECK no. Has it paid for it self in all the cords of wood I have sold, yes, has it made my life easier - big YES. This is a not a commercial unit, it’s a “homesteader unit”. But I use a lot often putting in 8 hr days running. The unit does require daily adjustments, clearly has some short falls on engineering. But the quality is actually pretty impressive.
Thanks for Video , There not many detail video on these sawmill
Maaco is having a special this week on paintjobs only for Norwood Log Hogs for $9.99 plus there's a 25% off coupon you can use with it. Just a heads up
Never seen a bandmill w/ the rollers on the bunks, might be a bit damage prone when loading heavy logs but I can see some advantages for material handling the boards/off cuts. Regards.
Not many video's of this mill in action out there. Nice to see it. Seems like one of the best low cost mill options.
Hey Dave. Beautiful Nov 22 day today and I was out using my standard and the same thing with the ram on the saw. Mine bent all to hell and I’m very disappointed. The cover needs to be beefed up a ton to withstand the constant pressure. Did the little braces in the corners hold up? Does it need more and thicker bracing? I’m thinking throughout that cover. I’ve called and left a message with Darrell. I’m hoping he will get back to me really soon. I’m wanting to take full advantage of this weather.
Sorry for not responding quicker, yes so far those braces have. But I can still see flexing of the cover during operation.
Darrell didn’t help. I went right to Pascal in PQ. They sent me a new hood and some corner bracing and another brace for the back ram. The hood is a thicker gage steel as well. I have the hood all welded back up and now I’m waiting to get the lot plowed out to see what happens. Let’s hope this is a good fix.
Has the spindles got sealed bearing which you can’t get grease in to them ,this issue has bean talked about on Utube a lot
Yes they are sealed.
Would you still recommend this unit? I am thinking about pulling the trigger on this one but wondering if I should be looking at other units that cost a bit more (which I would prefer not to do).
Yes Travis I would still give it a buy rating. Compared to other competitors this model is nearly half price. Like anything it does have a few short falls, but they are easy to fix, and if you know the weaknesses in advance you can be prepared. So yes I would 100% buy again. I mean I would love a $50,000 commercial model but that simply is not in the budget.
Very informative review. Any chance to share those part numbers to save a little frustration if others have similar issues?
Yes I will look them up
Interesting cause to the parts failure. Bigger processors like a Japa goes 4-5 cords or so on one chain sharpening. Also don't forget to adjust the raker depth, same as you'd do on a chainsaw. (Am sure you know this, just saying for other people new to firewood and stuff)
Thanks for watching and comments, yes I use the Shtil sharpener which does it all for me in one pass, I have enjoyed your channel and insights.
Messick's did a video where they hinted at telling a customer that the parts they were looking for would be difficult to find. Was a Chinese mower named "Koboto". Am looking at other Kubota equipment, just not in the market for a mower. Quality equipment in one line usually means quality equipment in another. Hope you get back to making videos as the firewood processor is what I'm really interested in.
just putting one together today, thanks for watching!!
Looking good!
Thank you! Cheers!
What does the 48" Kabota cost ????
can you do anything to increase the size of the video itself? It's too small to see.
sorry not sure why that is, will have to ask grandkids to fix lol
What's the little resovour on the left side by the engine ?
Hydraulic fluid reservoir for each transmission
@@kingswirl1479 Thanks
What a messy site!
Yes, I am not the neatest but have made improvements, a clean worksite is a safe and productive one!
Thanks for the video. I just purchased the exact same machine yesterday. It should be delivered in a couple of days, and I can't wait to try it!!!
