I pulled the trigger today and ordered a Brand New LT40HDD35.9 W I D E Head 2018 model.

Ordered if from Joe Whitley at WM Albemarle, N.C.

It is projected to be ready in 4 weeks.

I got the wide head and ordered the 35.9 hp Diesel engine.
I will be running the 7 degree turbo blades....they will be a longer blade due to the wide head.

I ordered the simple set....I prefer this over accuset.

Lube mizer, HP Blade guides and 4 side supports.

I'll have 2 mills for a while and maybe put my first mill up for sale or run 2 mills to see how it goes.
I'll wait and see. Maybe 1 mill for quick portable jobs that pay very well in my area.

But I'm excited! Can't wait to see how the Turbo 7's saw with that diesel engine.

I'll post pictures when I go to pick it up.  8).............Go ORANGE!

This is a walk along mill?

Yes...I thought long about the stationary control but I'm so used to walking along keeping an eye on everything I just kept it the same.

Congratulations on the new mill.  That tells me that you are successful and like what you are doing. Way to go.

Congratulations, I can't wait to hear what kind of adventures you and your mill will get into.

YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
