What equipment do you take to the mill with you?

[Chuck White]

I don't own any of the big stuff that Stihl makes, but my BG 55 leaf blower and my old 021 (12") and my MS251 (14") and my 4' Stihl/Logrite cant hook all go with me when I go out on a sawjob!

I bought my Stihl 021 to clean up around the yard following the Ice Storm of 1998.  That little chainsaw has never failed me, now it's a regular at the sawmill!

I have cruised the Stihl web site several times for info on their products!

Great company!

I always have basic hand tools in my truck, wrenches and sockets and stuff, for mill adjustments or minor repairs. I bring a small  chainsaw (stihl 025 16") and a large chainsaw (Husky 390xp 32") and a chainsaw box with chains and files. 48" and 72" Logrite cant hooks plus a 15' grade 70 chain. Scoop shovel, 40" pry bar, trenching spade for digging in outriggers. I try to always have anything when needed as many customers dont have things lined up "just right" and have no idea of the process.

Standard equipment;  straight claw hammer,  tape measure, pulaski,  24" chainsaw,  cell phone(cut list app), peavy, slick, leather welding apron, leather gloves, hearing protectors, drinking water.

Shop is <100' away for anything else.

When I bought the sawmill I also bought a new tool box for sawmill spare parts such as fuses, pins for the adjustable arm, the blade guide, the drive belt tension gauge, b57 belts, speed pot, up/down lever spring, to mention a few items.
Spare blades for different woods, round pointed shovel, and many of the items mentioned by others as well as my electrical tool box.
