  I decided to sell my 1991 LT 30 and buy a new LT 10 while Wood-Mizer was
running their $400 off special. Been getting away from handling the larger logs
and the LT 10 will do all I want to do and more. The buyer got a very nice mill,
still looked good and in excellent condition. Been very pleased with it in the
about 6 years I had it and sold for quite a bit more than what I paid.
   I drove up to Indianapolis and hauled it home...Only about $30.00 for gas..



 



 



 

  Built my trailer using a trailer package for a Norwood LM2000.
Here are pictures of the starting of the build...


 

Used two 9-1/2 ft 4X4 heavy angle to support the axle and tongue assemblies...


 



 



 

Then used 2X4 box tubing to support the sawmill bed..



 



 



More on the build later...

  Thanks, I try to make stuff look good that I put together, and work good
also. And I'm well pleased with the build of the LT 10. Solid built mill and
saws great. Really not all that small either. Same band wheels as the LT 15, just
a little closer together so won't saw as wide a board. Uses a 144 inch band.
I'll be doing some mods on it and started with putting a power up for the head.
    Here is a short video of the first log....

a quick reminder for anyone else out there.

Check your local CL for boat trailers.  There are always several in my area selling for $500 or less.  Sometimes with the john boat.



that is a 16' trailer with fenders, hitch, lights etc for $500  Drop your 2x4 box steel on it or whatever and your good to go
