I got the trailer and length extension upgrade to my HM122 sawmill, the BushlanderXL offroad trailer.
I also got a few other accessories, toe board, adjustable blade guide, and trailer tool box.
It all came together really nice, and I am greatly pleased with Woodland Mills bushlander sawmill, their instructions, and my new machine upgrade. I assembled the kit over a couple of evenings.
It of course takes a few tries to sort out the new usage details, and you can see a few of my mistakes, like forgetting to put the saw locking pins in place even after pointing out that I need to put them in! Leveling the bed seems like it's going to take 1 log just to get the feet settled. The side I am working on acts like it wants to dig in a bit and the bed goes out of level and the saw starts to roll down hill when it didn't just a few minutes ago.
I did figure out what the wobble was from - when I first set the mill up the cables used to keep the track and wheels clean where too long and I squared the mill up with the cables under the wheels. When I adjusted the cables, the saw was no longer square to the track. I did flip the cables over while I had those parts off to install the transportation lock.

15 hours and the machine won't shift into reverse. Not sure why it suddenly stopped shifting.
I made some adjustments and got the shifting working again.

Cutting the last boards for the fence. It took about 4 or so hours of saw time to cut all the boards for the fence along the yard. I will need to cut a lot more boards to fence along the field.
Showing a jig I made to make hanging the fence by myself easier.

My daughter looking at the assembled hand. She had already played with the fingers for a few days.
The hand needs to be red.
The pinky needs to be shorter.
We need 'Move Sparkles' to make it move by itself.

I am not always the most attentive person and may forget to check a trap every day. I figured out how to overcome this with a little bit of technology.
I like this style of trap as the chickens and dogs, and little kids don't get caught in a trap.
The door sensor is from YoLink. I have many of them because they have a long range and work around the farm.
