"First Log Milled"
Hines Farm Setup included modification to have a 22' log bed in lieu of 12' standard.

Hines Farm Setup also included removal of hand crank so a "Power Up & Down feature" could be implemented.
April 27, 2014, I converted my Harbor Freight Sawmill to "Power Up and Down". Remove hand crank by driving the retaining pin out. Replaced the crank with a 3/4" nut with threads drilled out and a .2" hole drilled through the perpendicular axis so the retaining pin can be driven through it and the screw drive shaft. To power the sawmill up and down I use an 18 Volt battery, reversible powered drill with a 3/4" socket attached. Works great and is a lot easier and quicker than hand cranking at a height above your shoulder. If you modify yours, follow safe procedures and do at your own risk.
