Wow,along ways off. Welcome to the forum. You should call the WM hot line. Did you bought that new? What's the use for all the lumber?
I know you are busy right now,but jeff would like to have a piece of wood for his ceiling.

Hi Zambian, welcome to forestry forum!!
We have many members with lt40's that can give you advice. I cannot, just wanted to welcome you.

What are common species of wood for you to mill in Zambia?

I believe we have a manual for a HD40 mill, parts list, specs, and all. In worst case scenario, my secretary could probably scan and email that to you.

Hi Zambian, welcome to Forestry Forum.

This is a great place to share the knowledge!

Answering your first question, you can use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) for hydraulic fluid.

isawlogs · May 05, 2011, 07:48:26 AM

As said above , automatic transmission fluid, but I have run mine with hydraulic oil for better part of 3000hrs. I don't know what grade that you would use as the temps are quite different there then here ,I am sure you could use a thicker oil that would be better in the heat.

We use a 10 weight non detergent hydraulic oil. Indol 32 by Cenex, although I doubt they have an outlet in Zambia.

I am curious. How did you wind up with a WM in Zambia?
