I have been working a lot building houses and started an excavation business , I now have my son in law running the excavation end of things and have wrapped up the last house for this year I am planning on taking the rest of the year and expanding my sawmill business I have the timberking b-20 and a Woodmaster planer I am really wanting to up my production and am looking into some full hydraulic circle mills and a edger for starters , thanks in advance for any advice or leads on equipment , on another note I sure have missed ff I learned more here than anywhere , I have still been running the mill some but just for my projects had to back out of " public work " for a while,but one house I built alone was 8000 sf with 35 k ft of red cedar and virgin pine on the interior walls and ceilings so the tk has not been collecting dust will post pics later hopefully I can remember how

Valley guy welcome back. A circle rig will certainly up your production, I assume you want hydraulic to cut back the necessary work force. You can get creative with belts and handling equipment but its much handier if you have a good helper, I know I usally cut alone. Modern mills are around many at bargain prices seems the more you buy the cheaper it is. Good hunting, keep us in the loop. Frank C.
