newby needs advice...Lumbermte 2000 vs. Lumbermate Pro MX34...

[Apple farmer]

Apple farmer, are you speaking of this video?  For a quiet runner its surprisingly loud.

Yes, this is the Canadian conversion with separate buttons to start the two engines, but as I said the Logosol-conversion sold in Norway and Sweden has only one button. The sound is mainly from the blade I suppose, not much noise from one or two electrical engines ;)

Hello guys



If I may chime in, we have our tradeshow LumberMate Pro MX34 stored in our Buffalo warehouse right now if you would like to stop by and have a look.  We also have both the LumberMate Pro MX34 and LumberLite ML26 mills on display in our showroom in our Ontario facility and the LumberMate Pro is on display at Norwood's Alberta and New Brunswick dealers.  You'll also find us at many tradeshows this season.  Please feel free to stop by and pay us a visit. 



In response Den, while we have many sawmills in the field, not everyone authorizes us to disclose their contact information.  We take our customers' privacy very seriously; if our customers don't want to be contacted, we will not even disclose their existence.  Each day we have more and more mills reaching the hands of our customers, and more customers who give us permission to give out their name and number to others.  Give us a call to see if an owner near you has signed up for our referral program.



For those who haven't seen the new MX34 Pro in person, I must say I think you'll be thoroughly impressed. It's a challenge to capture the size difference of the new LumberMate MX34 compared to the LumberMate 2000.  You truly have to see it in person to get a full appreciation.



Although the LumberMate Pro MX34 and LumberLite ML26 have new patented features and larger capacity, both were based on the same premise as the LumberMate 2000 – user-friendly, rugged and dependable. 



Thank you for your support



Have a great day,

thanks everyone for the input...

ahlkey and I are thinking along the same lines..my plan is to try and find a used LM2000 before mid
august, as I won't have time to use it or money to buy it until then...I have a refundable deposit
on  the MX34 just in case I don't find a used one...but I'm pretty sure I'll find one..a couple have
come up but guys seem to be asking a lot...one for $7000 bare bones set up, which is more than they
were new(when they were avail.)


My husband's LM2000 was bought in 2006.  It didn't cost under 7000.00 new.  Of course it has the trailer pkg and  other extras.   I have the invoice right here in front of me.  You must consider the shipping also.  Some might get excited about putting one together, but  I will never forget the arrival of the crates!  I felt a lot overwhelmed.  My husband did enjoy putting it together.  I might run across all the pics taken of it being put togther.

Nearly ALL the noise is the blade guides, they are supposed to be noisy.

I don't know anything about the new Lumbermate, but I LOVE my LM2000.  Contrary to what a couple other people have said, I wouldn't recommend the log roller/toe boards.  They just aren't beefy enough (not sure if they've been changed or not, I bought mine back in 2001).  The logs that are big enough to warrant using the rollers are too heavy to allow you to raise them.  I bent the bar/handle used to raise them, and finally broke one of the bolts. 

They're lying on the ground near the mill site if anyone's interested...
