What happens here
The host utilizes a TYM T254 tractor equipped with Precision Manufacturing pallet forks to efficiently offload the freshly milled boards from the sawmill. He demonstrates how the tractor allows for easy handling of heavy boards, which he estimates weigh around 100 pounds each, thus preventing back strain. He slides the boards onto the pallet forks, emphasizing leveraging the forks to avoid heavy lifting.
Goal: Safely and efficiently move heavy milled boards from the sawmill using mechanical assistance.
