Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?

Or would you just like to pull up a stump and visit with a friend?
If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you.

I started milling with a Lt 15 in 2010. In 2015 I invested in a Lt 35. Basically the same head so I am familiar with this mill. I am currently helping a friend with his LT 15.

Hello.

My Son David is looking at a second hand LT20 mill.
This will seem like a silly question to a lot of you. But we have no knowledge of Wood-Mizer products.
It apparently is Fully Hydraulic.
Does this mean that it has hydraulics operating the cutting feed? Or do you have to manually push the cutting head when cutting, or is the feed hydraulically operated?Read More
