I thought that handle sounded familiar.

I've made a lot of wide boards in the last year, to bad the guy never sells any of them. There is at least one hydraulic Wood Mizer down in the For Sale section, check it out. You are not far from me at all. I might be interested in your mill later in the summer, are you in a hurry to sell?

No hurry but we need to sell this one before we buy the next. What's it worth?

Mobile D to break it out, stationary bandmill to break it down.
Scoopmobile LD5 for the small logs, 977 for the punkins.

I run a 48”, left-handed, circular mill for an antique tractor club. It is definitely not a purebred as it was scratch built many years ago. It is all manual! We power it with a steam engine for at least one day of our three-day show each Sept. Last year we sawed 8200 board feet of Red Pine at the show. We paid for 5000 board feet of logs. Figure that one out! I had to measure the production twice to prove to myself that I had not made a mistake on the first count.

I have a 48” left-handed mill of my own that I am in the process of putting into operation. It has limited hydraulics, but I intend to add a log turner and some other features.

Woodmizer LT-70 prototype.

Kind of a half breed, LT-40 chassis with LT-70 head and log turner, hydraulic debarker, 42 hp Kubota.
I am running the Accuset 2 with the C.03 upgrade.

crtreedude · « **Reply #273 on:** July 26, 2008, 08:26:22 am »

Okay, our inventory was 1 Baker 18M and an Alaskan with an 090 AV, just completed the order to add the following to the stable with Baker.

2 18M saws
1 9HP Buddy
3 5 HP Buddy

And sharpener and a few blades

Just signed a contract to process an old neglected teak plantation, almost 30 acres. Sixteen years old. The wood ranges between 7 inches to 15 inches in diameter.

Almost 10,000 trees I figure. This is probably not enough, but at least it gets us going.

Dave Shepard · « **Reply #274 on:** July 26, 2008, 10:01:20 pm »

backwoods, I just did the C.03 upgrade yesterday, I noticed that when changing settings, it goes up and down about four times faster.

Don't know what else it does though.

Papa1stuff · « **Reply #277 on:** August 07, 2008, 08:06:47 pm »

Currently a Granberg chainsaw mill with an 036. Hoping to upgrade to a bandmill eventually.

Meadows Miller · « **Reply #279 on:** August 08, 2008, 12:39:51 am »

Gday Tyb 525

Its good to see alot of young Blokes on FF having a crack in this industry

We dont get many down here.I started with a CS mill when i was young .The trick is to keep moving ahead at a steady pace and not to go in to too mutch dept . You will be supprised

how quick You get that band sawmill

good luck from Chris McMahon
