Thanks John, I really like reading the forum questions I have picked up a few pointers already once I set up my mill Iam sure ill have a lot of quetions for you guys. Kevin

Windy Hill, I have the LT15 with 15 hsp engine. It cuts great. However, that LT28 with the 25 hsp engine may be one of the very best manuals mills you could buy taking into consideration all the features. Keep us posted.

Hello Kevin. Welcome to the forum. Congrats on the LT 28. I guess you will stare at the calendar for a while. :-\ You will enjoy the mill.

Hi Windy Hill Farm and congratulations on the new mill.

Hey, we're neighbors, give or take 60 miles! ;D

I know it won't be much longer before my mill gets pulled out of the garage! ;)

Thanks Chuck, I didnt know where Russell N.Y. was until the guys I went to the show with told me.I have been living up in Ellenburg for the last 5 years, so Iam still learning the area.I dont know how the weather is in your neck of the woods but we got about 2 feet of heavy wet snow in the last week. Kevin

Chuck White · February 28, 2010, 05:27:56 PM

Actually, we're starting to get a lot of bare ground around here!

But........ we still have about 2 months yet to deal with!

I went to the garage today and did an alignment check on my mill, couple of minor adjustments and done!

I sawed on my LT15 this weekend. Weather was very nice. I sawed 8/4 red oak, so now my butt log is dragging

. I am getting too old for 8/4 red oak :

8/4 red oak 12" wide and 10 feet long can age a feller by his lonesome

A nice new saw on the way.What will you be building?I see you have your own trees to cut.Know how to post pictures yet?Better get that task out of the way before you get your new mill.We want to see it.

Dont know how to post pictures yet, but the wife will take care of that. I have a few sheds to build and maybe a camp on my woodlot.My mill will bi in the barn the day I pick it up, which wont be until April. Started a new job been working a lot of hours and weekends, so even if I had the mill I have not had time to cut any logs, that and all the snow in the woods. Kevin

what will you be building your sheds out of- is your place a lot of HW? always curious to see if others like me with a big HW woodlot are building out of oak etc.....
