Hi I'm new to the forum and seems to have the milling itch pretty bad. I really like the features of the lt 15 wide except that there is no trailer package available. I was wondering if any one has built a trailer for thiers?
    I'll mostly be milling my own logs but it would be very nice to have a portable  mill or one I can make so. I've accumulated some logs that are over 32" so I'll need some thing with a wide capacity. I plan on doing a piney woods log turner on whatever mill I purchase if it doesn't have hydraulics. Open to any and all suggestions and ideas. Thank you very much.

Sorry but I can't help with the trailer question. I'm surprised as I thought those came on a trailer. I know they are manual mills. Do you have the support equipment to handle those big logs? I can cut up to a 32" log and can't imagine loading and turning that kind of weight without my hydraulics.

Good luck, keep in touch and be real careful.

I have a tractor but no front end loader on it but do have a winch mounted to it and a boom pole on back. Also live on a hill that should help level out the ramps going up the side for loading. Pretty much decided ill have to put on a hydraulic log turner of some kind once I have a mill.
