Awesome pics. Thats a nice shed to boot. In the colder months, a simple tarp or canvas covering on the one end will stave off some of the chill. Again, well done!
There are no problems; only solutions we haven't found yet.

Hamptonlawyer, That is an awsome find, I am envious. I really want one of those mills, but I have to be patient. Anyway, congratulations on your new mill.

That is the first time that I have heard of a shed coming with the mill!  Good score!

I almost bought a TK  1600 , but I chose a larger hydro mill from Logmaster.   I have their LM4.  I don't see any mention of Logmaster in any forums  I don't think    a lot folks know of them or own one.  I've had mine going on five years and have no complaints.
Lots of power and tork, 30 inch band wheels,  30 inches between the guide bearings.  24 ft cut length,  photo electric set works,   two rolling toe boards.  Blades are  229 inches   , inch and a half x 7/8   .055.   51hp Perkins diesel.   I've cut a lot of white oak, pecan and hickory.  It handles it no problems as long as I keep my feed speed moderate to slow.  I have expieranced (mostly with red oak)  Kants that bow upward and pinch the blade in the middle of the unfinished cut  and spun the clutch.  Didn't seem to hurt it as I caught quickly and I know to watch for it now.
Still running the original clutch.    Pete Chesapeake ,Virginia.

Welcome to the forum.
Maybe start a thread on your Logmaster and show some pics. We like pics, and a video if that could be possible.
You are right, we don't hear much about the Logmaster mill.
But a search on Logmaster will bring up previous threads where they are discussed.

 :) Welcome to the Forum I was thinking I might have mentioned one in a past thread  8) The hardest part I have with mine is handling what it can produce not the log :D
