Welcome 60lp, sorry but not any help either, would like to see a picture or two of that 60lp though ;)
Welcome 60lp, I am new also. You have come to the right place to get help and learn a lot about your mill and running a mill of any kind.

Welcome to the forum Bill , lots of reading to do and anyone will help you . Red
Welcome 601p. Merry Christmas as well. Good luck on your adventure. Milling is a lot of fun!
60lp, Welcome to the Forestry Forum. Sounds like you are ready to have a Merry Christmas with your new mill! I've had my Woodland Mill for a year now, and have had a great time learning and sawing. It has done everything I've attempted with it. I have found that after the basic setup, and adjustments, the key to good results is having the right support equipment for the job. Log handling, waste disposal, and lumber storage are the biggest hurdles to overcome. Just check this forum for older threads on any subject you have, and you will find an answer. There will be someone on here that will know! Good luck, and stay safe. Andy PS We like pictures!!!

Welcome to the forum.
Welcome mate,I hope you have a loader for that JD 60 you will need it. I have a JD 45w loader on my 60 and it handles any log I want to mess with,removed the bucket and have forks.My buddy had a 620lp we rebuilt it never saw a deere that will pull like a propane.Start milling slow and one of your first projects should be a mill shed. Good luck. Frank C.
Welcome to the forum, Bill.
If you haven't used the search box at the top already, I'd start there. There are bunches of posts about the HM 126.
Merry Christmas and have fun.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, Bill.
One big plus: After you get the mill up and running, you can come in cold and tired...sit down with a hot drink and relax here with friends. 8)

Andy,
When I saw your first pic, I thought you had the idea setup! I thought the mill was on your front porch! :D

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, 60lp. :)
Welcome aboard Bill.There are several members up near you.Maybe not woodland owners but still sawyers that could give you some good advice.
60lp,welcome to the forum. What's all the lumber going to be used for? Ever been around a sawmill? Probably will need a cantdog or a peavey? Logrite is a sponsor on the left. They will help you decide on if you need a cantdog or a peavey. Enter the Christmas contest on the top of the page and you might win one.
