new. to me, mill

[jackpine]

 Monday I picked up another mill. Lt40 hydraulic with the following features

Cat 34 hp diesel
de-barker
Lube-mizer
Accuset  upgraded to accuset2
autoclutch

I had gone to the dealer the week before for parts for my existing mill and saw this one . Could not resist ;D

Best part, 2005 model with 100 actual hours. and fully serviced by dealer. The only issue I have had was the nozzles on the lube-mizer plugged up and had to be cleaned.

Still learning to operate it but so far very pleased.

Congrats Bill!  You may benefit others too if the existing mill gets passed on to another!

I don't know about the demo part but it appears that after the training the previous owner, a cardiologist, tried to cut up more parts of the mill than he did logs ;D

3 cut lines on the first hydraulic log stop and at least 6 on the first manual stop not counting sawing the very tip of that stop all the way off.

Also all of the carbide teeth on the de-barker blade were broken from hitting the claw turner :D

He is buying a new mill so I hope he learned some things from this one ;D

That's funny, jackpine :D He must have figured this one was wore out with all the cut marks on it You'll be liking this mill I think ;)

Congrats Jackpine. On the nozzles plugging up on you, if you take a very small drill bit and make the holes in the nozzles just a little bit bigger it will eliminate 90% of your tips plugging. ;)
