LT50 electric. If you operate stationary, electric is the only way to go.

We have 4 mills now. First one was a custom Alaskan mill using a Husky 2100 featuring a 34" cut width.

We bought an old Sears Roebuck circle mill and have been using it as a parts mill.

Last fall we picked up a Belsaw M14 featuring a 42" saw and a Datsun L20B for power. It popped our circle mill cherry, and now we're bit by the sawdust bug hard.

A couple weeks ago we found basically the exact mill we originally wanted. It has a 46" saw, a full hydraulic carriage and feedworks, hydraulic log roller, outfeed conveyor and divertor, and a sawdust blower. It came with a 4-71 for power. In the deal we also picked up a Beaver 49 planer that we will power with a Perkins 6-354. Thinking we should be done collecting mills now! Ha ha.

I brought home my new Woodmizer LT40HD Diesel last month.  Two days after bringing it home, my excavator smoked it's wiring.  I have been replacing all wiring since then.  Next weekend I hope to saw my first log on it.

Thanks Chuck!  I forgot to include a photo of me picking the mill up at the dealer in East Texas.  Only thing I find wrong with the WM is the orange paint.  It doesn't match my truck!

Ok, how do you upload a photo to a post from your computer?

First post on this forum.  I just picked up my new 2018 Timberking 2500 mill last week.  I had used a Timberking 2000 for the past 7 years and a Timberking B-20 briefly before that.  

When the logs get really big, I use my Stihl MS880 with a Granberg Alaskan 72" Mill.

First Post:

I've been reading all that the Forestry Forums has had to offer for the last two years. I hope that what I have gleaned from my studies here will add to my success. We are due to pick up our Woodmizer on October 6. First time sawyers here, so we went with the LT50HDD35W-RA with all her bells and whistles. I would like to start a modest business with my grandson that he can take over when I'm no longer productive :D Thanks for all the hours of enjoyment reading your adventures. I look forward to sharing some of our own.

I run a woodmizer LT15 start mill, extra set of bed. I designed a mechanized feed system using #40 roller chain, fixed and idler sprockets, 1 HP AC electric motor, gear reducer, and reversible drum switch.  I can vary speed by using step pulleys if needed.  This really saved on time and effort.

Had to rethink the ac motor thing, they could not handle the duty cycle of constant start stop forward/reverse.  Thermal breakers would kick in about after 30 minutes.  Got a good deal on 3/4 Dayton dc with speed control forward reverse etc.  I designed a toothed cog and lift system so I can engage or can free the head and use it manually.  This comes in handy when I want to see how the blade FEELS, like say its feeling dull, or short in the tooth or just plain board!!
