2004 LT40 Super Hydraulic

First half of a LT 70 with remote Command Control

2nd half of the LT 70
There was a slight misunderstanding between a fir tree, gravity, steel (LT70), mobile sawmiller and the customer. After rebuilding a WM carriage (and being a mechanical engineer) I'm very impressed with the thought WM's engineers put into the LT70 carriage design. Even though the carriage is built to handle wear and abuse, the old frame design took the beating and outlasted the new carriage design. The Dexter axle assembly did not do so well. Hats off to the WM design team.

1989 LT40 Hydraulic (Sorry no picture yet)

6' Extension & 24' extension

CAT V180B Forklift coming home

1985 Pettibone 4wd

Planer I bought from Pender 6" x 16", I can't wait to get it powered up. Do you think it might make some chips?

Adds up to about 75,000 lbs of iron

I run a home made CSM built from Procut plans and a portable Alaskan mill.

That chainsaw carving thing fascinates me. I am really impressed with the talent you guys exude.

I gotta go to bed now 'cause I'm old and decrepit, but, there is a picture posting thread with good instructions in "behind the forum" . Lots of good forum instruction stuff in that area.

1996 WM LT40 Hydraulic, Kubota tractor (still in the works for wood handling), Pre 1900 4 sided planer currently going into a cnc retrofit, at the moment it's stripped down and the electric motors are being mounted, working on the controls, grinding custom profiles and milling out a new blade holder. Ill post a few pics when I get a chance. Still learning, but enjoy running the WM immensely, a nice change from the daily grind. First post here and glad to be aboard

If anyone near the UP of michigan needs a helper for a weekend or two I'd love to work with someone with some experience running these wonderful machines.

Hey Casey, welcome to the Forestry Forum. Didnt mean to over look you in here, this just seems to be one of those threads that folks only look at every few days. One of our alert members sent the admins a heads up we had a new member in here that needed looking after. I'm not sure of wood-mizer owners real close, but we have several members with other flavors that would certainly let you work your butt off for them.

Welcome to the forum. Pretty nice inventory you got there.

I'm a bit of a drive from you but if you every want to run a Peterson swinger just give a shout.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks, glad to be here! I'll be heading up to the millsite and hopefully will remember the digital camera to get some pictures. I'm somewhat embarrased to take pictures of the planer at the moment, we just had a mill and lathe installed in the shop so it is an unholy mess right now. But when I run up there I'll bite my pride and snap off a few, not much to look at right now, just a 30hp motor, gigantic cast iron frame, and lots and lots of gears. The finished plan on that is to have a carousel cutter head with several indexed cutters, selectable via an operator interface. The carousel itself will be controlled by an acme thread powered by a servo or stepper. Same with the upper head. We've put some thought into including a resaw primary as well, but getting the blade to set itself via automatic control is proving to be tricky. Best case we hope to have a "feeler" which will detect the width and thickness, then adjust the heads. At a higher level of control you would define woodtype, or cutter RPM, along with depth of cut. It's going to be a long range project, but once it is finished it sure will be neat. By then hopefully my engineering days will have moved onto running my own sawmill days

Thanks again folks!

Casey
