Ez boardwalk MDL 40 will swallow a 40'' log but the max board width cut is 36''. PC

   Thanks. I think most of my milling will be Loblolly Pine mostly 14 to 20 inch. Also have a lot of Red, White and scrub Oak  18 to 26inch. I have some trouble with my heart and had 4 disc in my neck and 2 in my lower back ruptured. I can do pretty good except jerking recoil starters that is why i definately want electric start.But I have alot of time and not in a hurry.

peanuts roost,welcome to the forum. With that much damage I would keep away from wood in general. Hard to handle logs,lumber. But maybe that's what is keeping you going.

I am also disabled but hope to purchase a small mill in the next few weeks for my own use only.
I would suggest consulting with your Primary Doctor prior to any purchase to make sure you are physically capable of running a sawmill without further injuring yourself.  If you have family, possibly they could run the mill for you if the doctor does not clear you.

I believe that is what this forum is all about, getting AND giving advice.  Ask as many questions as you like.  ;D

Steve Phillips by what I've read you're building your own mill. I'm guessing that you're gonna set it up as a manual, why not build with the intent of usin hydrolics on it later. Guess what I'm tryin to say is to make sure that your design is easily modifided when you get the funds and time to add it. Working with limited funds is doable just takes longer.  :D

Welcome steve phillips, for what its worth I have pushed P. Cases mill through wood and it is a lot easier than my mill. PC's is a boardwalk and mine is home build not on angle. The angle does help pull the head through the wood. bg

Has anyone else ever tried the ez and another mill to compare? Just curious. PC

hey ozarkian  i always TRY hehee to do what the doc says but like my mama said  " boy you are one hard headed child '' LOL what more can i say . but all joke aside i do listen and hes cool .

yeah i am building a home made mill .  it will oneday be a lot of hydralics on it . but for now got a lot of fencing i need to build this summer . i have about 1/2 of tall poplars to cut on , some are close enough to end up in bed with me one nite

if its not broke dont fix it !!!!

 Appreciate the concern. But I have friends to help and I can't stay inside. Had a long talk with Ezboardwald today and planning on ordering a Ezboardwalk jr with optional 15 hp subaru with electric start. Not very familure with subaru but does have 3year warranty. Sounds pretty good to me. What do ya'll think? opinions will be very appreciated. Thanks

I say, I think, I say,I think you made a wise choice. The ez boardwalk mdl40 is a tough rugged well though out ,very user friendly mill and the jr. is a chip off the old block.   You will be sawing logs day and night! PC
