What happens here
The first step is to detach the Wood-Mizer LT40 portable sawmill from the Dodge pickup truck. This involves pulling out the pins that secure the hitch and safety chains, then raising the sawmill using its integrated jacks to clear the truck's hitch. Once detached, the truck is moved forward, and the sawmill is adjusted to be as level as possible using the jacks.
Goal: Disconnect the sawmill from the truck and level it
