Skid Steer at the mill?

Another option is a 3 point hitch forklift attachment

The problem with these is that you have to twist around in the seat to see what you're doing. That can get really tiring after a while, not to mention giving you a stiff neck.

One other drawback to skid steers is they are a bear to climb in and out of. But, anyone in good enough shape to be sawing will probably be fine ;)

JCB and Volvo make a single boom skid loader that you get in and out of from the side like a truck.

Yes, ROL, I agree they are easier to get into than a front end loader. But not easier than a telehandler, Tractor FEL, or forklift. Maybe my assessment is skewed by the fact that I am 6'5" and 280 pounds ;D

One downside with alot of the big skid steers is it's hard to watch out the back all the time...not like a tractor

I bought a $97 back up camera at WallyWorld and solved that problem. Now I want one on everything.

My 2 cents would be a big skid steer. Move saw dust, move snow, move gravel, load mill, move stacks of lumber, portable scaffolding, grade drives, pull stuck vehicles out of snow, are all things I do with the Bobcat. For really big logs like >40" I use a 6000lb fork lift but it has to be dry or frozen for me to be able to get the fork lift back to the mill.
