Taking a knotty pine log and making lumber in 1 min!
What happens here
The tractor carefully positions each log directly onto the bed of the portable sawmill. The front-end loader is used to gently place the log, ensuring it is properly aligned for the upcoming milling process. The operator dismounts the tractor to make any necessary final adjustments to the log's position on the sawmill bed, likely using a tool like a cant hook or peavey to rotate or nudge the log into optimal placement (though not explicitly shown).
Goal: Securely place logs onto the sawmill for cutting.
