Hi all, first time posting.  I have a woodmizer LT15 and am looking at moving up to a hydraulic mill.  Was wondering if anyones running a Cooks HD 32 or comparable saw full time.  I really like the looks of the Cooks saws.  The AC-36 looks like it could be too much saw for a one man operation.  Any input will be greatly appreciated.

JacobsonWYO- My wife and I just picked up our HD32. It is an awesome machine and while I don't saw full time with it I see no reason so far that you couldn't as long as it fits your needs (32" diameter, off loading from the front, etc...). If you have any questions about send me a message I would be more than happy to answer anything.

I have the MP32 - same frame but no hydraulics. Very rugged - been using it for 15 yrs. I think you'll be pleased.

I have an AC 36, and you are right it is more mill than you need if you are running it by yourself.  I had my son helping when we were cutting ties, and even then at times I could have used another hand.  Now its just me cutting for a few customers in my spare time and at times I have to shut the mill down to catch up and I have several roller tables as well.  Banjo
