Thanks for the information Paul. Is that cost with a trailer package? I don't want to leave it at the woodlot if I'm not there.  There is a Hud-son dealer only a few minutes away from the woodlot, but they don't have a small trailer model. Leaning towards a Thomas or Woodland Mills trailer model. Thomas is only 3 hours from home.

No sir no trailer included in that price. I feel sure any of those mills will suit your needs. Once you been doing it for a while you will get the bug to upgrade just as have.
 good luck!!!

Didn't realize WM are made in China, I thought Canada.  Looking at other domestic brands along with the Thomas. Anyone familiar with Turner?

Just to clarify that your WM = Woodland Mills, not Wood-Mizer.  ;D 

Wood-Mizer does have an entry level LT10 sawmill.

Turner makes a nice mill
But doesn't use flanges roller guides. 
If he did I think they would be much better.
I know someone who has his top of the line hydraulic mill.
Put cooks roller guides on cuts much much better.

Visited the Thomas booth today at the Fryeburg Fair and looked at their mills. They are well built mills, relatively local to me, and now are standard with siding option. Looks good for the $$.

@Wayne_Stevens,is that the one that the head is offset by a lever? If it is,I saw it at the Bangor,ME show. Cut the cant and tilt the head. No need to remove the cant and put a jig on and saw siding.
I have one and like it. I have the movable bunk,can cut a piece of stove wood lenght wood by just moving the bunks.
Yes,they are built. I don't move mine,but had it for many years and only levered it once to set it up. I have flipped some big ones on the bunks.
