Looking real good your paint is in good shape looks like new mill. Flip your loader hoses on the outside of arms if you have forks on loader you can hit them, dont ask how I know this.

;D Sometimes we learn the Hard way.  Other times we get on the Forestry Forum and Hopefully a good man like you helps us avoid learning the hard way.
That's a good location Migal!  North of Tyler enough to attract those landowners that don't want to drive any further than they have too.  And far enough from there to build a good bussiness without competition from the mills in Tyler, Jacksonville or Rusk.
We picked up a new supplier today that's been driving to Jacksonville the last 3 years because there was No mill closer.  Now we have All his bussiness.  We also got a New client that prefers bringing it to a mill that saves him that 40 mile round trip.
Just be prepared because you will get VERY busy when people find out about you.

Just a update. I'm starting to get this sawing figured out! Takes practice,and good blades! I've gotten the log stop cut down :embarassed:.Hope there won't be lots of those!Hit my first FO yesterday! >:( I know there will be more of those.Found out my cousin bought a new TK 1600.I checked that out today and gave a few tips to him.I think I like my B-20 better.Just prejudice I guess. Will try to get more photos to gallery in a week or so.  Keith

hmm.. and to think that mill, it wasnt very far from here.
Looks in  good shape.  I seen the other day, the mills former owner is hungry for saw logs.   Maybe he had a supply problem and couldnt keep multiple mills.

Thanks Guys,Yea Steve I'm hooked. Yes Brian, I do love the hydraulics,glad my son told me after he went to a manual demo that we needed one.Just can't find enough time to play with it. Every day it gets warm the farm chores call first, then I run out of daylite.
