so we have been wanting a loader for a while ,   and we found one in our price range,,,its an older hough/international  h60a,  most everything works on it  its a 2.5 yd loader ,  its dirty and needs misc stuff fixed or welded nut its really kool ,,  now we dont have to roll or drag big logs to put on mill,,,,  my tractor could only lift so much, this will lift 2-3 times the weight   cant wait to use it ,,  plus the guy who hauled it home is a regular customer ,  needs wood for his short double,,   about 1500 bd ft of oak,,   good day in all

I think you will like it you can't beat old boughs.  I've goth a 1954 hh that I use at my mill. H60a should be an early on. Is it rear wheels steer and dose it have a inline 6 Cummins motor? If you have trouble with anything I might be able to help we have had a lot off boughs over the years.

Nice, wheel loaders are fine machines, I wish I had one.

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

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

I got a lot of seat time on a H65: good machines, simple, pretty well bulletproof. I'd buy one if it came along.

Now you need forks with grapple. Never ends does it?
The quickest way to make a million dollars with a sawmill is to start with two million.
