  • Best way to make the most money with a portable mill is to cut the least lumber you can.

How about some side shots, looks like a fairly interesting top bar.

Thanks all for the positive coments. I used it today and was very surprised on how well it worked. Hauled 6- 20" x 16'long hemlocks to the mill and the nice thing about it was logs were clean. I will post some side pictures and some close-up on how the winch works to rise the log in the back and then to rise the front. As to the color it is valspar kubota orange that I got at tractor supply (is real close to WM orange ;D)
thanks Sam
