Dang, no. It's more like this. Put your time in and you can take time for yourself a bit early by weeks end. I figured $1100 bucks was good enough for this week. About twice as much as some that like to drag their but on the ground.  This is one job you will learn who measures up real quick. Physically. ;D

Well the wife and I have made it back home but it is a little dark to run the mill just yet, all I can say is that it pulls fine. I did cut one log on it where I picked it up at the Miss. WM office and I looked worse than a rookie some of the controls were wired backwards from my mill so not only did it look like I didn't know what I was doing I was going the wrong way most of the time. :D I must also add that them are some fine folks down there.

Thats funny!  I didn't even notice that you had gotten the towing package on that Harley.

All right you guys there is too many questions to answer with just one small mind.
1. The engine on this mill is the 62 HP Cat.
2. Yes I did have a LT 40 and a LT 70 at one time but Warren talked me out of the LT 40
3. As to how can I run both mill at one time I can't but I should be able to keep one of them busy all the time instead of one busy part time.
4. When it comes to insomnia I don't have that trouble and for those that do I would sugest that you eat more sawdust it sure cured mine.  :D  I do have trouble staying awake from time to time but not sleeping.
5. The Harley does have a towing package but it is always loaded just with my ego. :D

Congrats on the second lt70 sounds like its got all the goodys Mate  ;) ;D ;D 8)
with the wireing n the lines Ive been caught the same way swapping from one machine to another in the same brand Like they say Sawyers do things their Own Way Mate  ;)  :D  ;D  i dont reckon it'll take you long to swap afew wires and hose fittings over to suit your sawing style like i do  Mate ;)  ;D 8) 8) 8)

Carpenter Its all about being productive on a particular product or providing a service  ;) Eg i have 4 sawmills and each work well for a particular product if i include the csm which only gets used for slabbing these days I would have had a 5th The bandmill i had from when i was 15yo but it got stolen from a jobsite about 7 years ago  :o :( >:( First time it had been locked in a yard in its life ::)  ::) the table top is setup for remilling recycled sleepers and warf and bridge decking and the like or sawing  squares which is what it was built for . the Lucas  is my allrounder atm and dose just about everything im sawing you atm just have to keep them in 16" plus logs to do your $500 to $800 t/o per day sawing inch in pallet grade or garden sleepers which aint bad for one bloke on his own including docking it all to length on a mill thats under$16k new  ;) ;D :o
The Meadows will be My first static production mill but it will take year or two to get the way i want it but ill eg with a good infeed/outfeed chipper & dockers ect ect But im only aiming at getting one thing at a time done properly like the first thing will be the carriage with dead infeed and dead roll outfeed for a start and building production from there as i go  ;) ;D

It does'nt take long to pay for a mill if you work Hard and plan on paying for things as you go most sawmilling and support equipment can be paid of within 12 months ;) ;D and never have mutipule dept on mills or equipment unless it all works as a unit  ;) Ive worked for people with huge dept loads and its not much fun trying to produce enough t/o to cover payments when 50 to 70% of the gear they have just sits in the yard doing nothing 90% of the time  its not worth the stress ;)

Ill take a punt and say that i reckon that Cs New Mill would most likely be paid for or had a sizeable deposit placed on it  ;) ;D 8)

Good for you,many congrates.Many times I have wanted to add something to the mill that would increase production,but at the same time no longer be portable.Have built my own second mill.I took an old cab-over garbage truck and stripped it of all the equipment put an old prentice110 and some homebuilt log bunks ,that helped for a while but still like to go portable when needed.I understand completly.Aksawyer,14 below today in Fairbanks....

Jeff the wires weren't no trouble it took all of 8 min. to complete the change over. I do have the dump truck with a boom on it I wish it had a grapple on the end of it but for what I use it for it works great. When I do a portable job I load the tractor and edger on the goose neck trailer then hook the sawmill behind that and take all I need in one trip.
