We are going to be sawing customers' logs for the first time in a while. I was planning on charging $125/hour for cedar and other lower yielding logs and $0.45/hour for decent logs. This will include John and me working, an edger and all of the support machines. We saw with an LT 50 with 47 hp Yanmar. Does this seem reasonable? Read More

Posting for a friend here in Northern Vermont who would like to trade his fairly new LT25 with trailer (value of about $5000) for a wide saw mill option. Could be home-made. Just needs to do the job.

I can do his occasional milling requirements much faster with my LT-35 H. while I could benefit...

I have an 8'x12' bed I want to deck with 1" boards. I have an oval log 21" dia x 28" dia x 14'. Euc cracks and warps a lot. I have been advised to avoid the pith. I'm wondering what the best way to mill it is. Maybe boards on the narrower side will twist less? right now the truck has 7" wide apitong boards, breaking down. Planning to screw it down green.

Hi everyone,

I was walking to woods today and noticed my poplar stand is starting to die off/fall over. It's mostly an even age stand and there are lots of small hardwoods underneath ( Sugar maple, red maple, birch, also some softwoods).

Anyone know if these make good boards or lumber to sell? Trying to see what options I have to maybe offset the cost of removing these trees. Some are fairly big diameter.Read More

Good day,

I have a couple of acres of white cedar that I am thinking of select cutting. I was going to take out the larger trees to give space to the smaller ones to grow. My thinking behind this is a few years ago I removed a dozen or so 14 inch dbh trees and they counted around 220 years old. This area is very wet and would only be accessible in the winter .Read More
