What would you say the focus of your is business, Dan?  Do you make most of your money from custom-sawing or from selling lumber?  Do you dry your lumber, and if you do, is it air-dried or kiln-dried?

DL,

You might contact Woodmizer at Newnan, GA.  They may have a lead on a used mill.

I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like there's a way to extend the length of a trailer-mounted sawmill.

You can buy extensions for the bigger mills as well. :)

Well shoot, there goes that justification for not shelling out the extra 30 grand :D

it's much more cost effective to add a track to an LT15 than to an LT40 (unless you are sawing a LOT of long stuff).

and the LT15 can have an infinate length, you could make a track across the US if you wanted, but that might be a bit rough getting leveled across WV.  :)

Yep, you'd be better off putting the track through south Georgia, where a dip of 2 feet in elevation is called a swamp ;D.

Down thisaway, there was an older but refurbished LT-30 advertised for seven grand last week.  Don't know if it's still available.

Everyones situation is different. I currently have an order for 2000bf of qsro so paying the $100 is nothing. The figures I quoted were for flat sawing, if I qs the log which takes no extra time or effort then the profits ramp up greatly.

Sounds like a deal, but the writer-of-checks is in Honduras for the rest of the month.  I interviewed for a job today, so maybe I'll have some disposable income before long. ;D

A job besides looking at trees? :o.  (Or maybe it is a job looking at trees ::)).

"Disposable income?"  I'm not familiar with that term.  Is that a real possibility, or just something some pinko liberal communist professor put in your head in college? ::)

It's a county agent position in Elbert County.  I would be doing some looking at trees, as well as landscape plants, hay fields, cows, etc.  And as long as I'm able to reside rent-free at Mom & Pop's, disposable income seems like a distinct possibility (hopefully long enough to buy a WM to build my house ;D)
