After 15 months was notified 3 Apr mill was in production. On Apr 6 dealer called to come and get it. 4 hours later was called and told not to come as WM had shipped without Debarker, HD blade guides, Seat and Blades. After 2-3 weeks dealer finnally got a Debarker . guess what? Debarker won't work, tripping circuit breaker. Still don't have Mill as of today 9 May 24.

I picked up an MP200 two sided planer for my cabin project. I need to make T&G for my floors, roof and walls. The floors and roof will be out of 2x pine stock an the walls out of 1x incense cedar.

I'm thinking of having one set of knives made with a double T&G. Full height for the 2x and drop down for the 1x.Read More

Has anybody used one of the Japanese mini trucks in place of a UTV? I've been checking them out and they look pretty interesting. They can't be imported from Japan until they're 25 years old, but a lot of them have pretty low mileage. Some of them are available with differential locks, four wheel drive, and a dump bed all with an enclosed cab with heat and sometimes AC. People put lift kits on them and off-road tires. The price on them is a lot less than what a UTV would cost with similar options. Maine won't let them be registered for the road at this point, but I'm primarily looking for something around the house and in the woods. Read More

Hydraulic toe boards stopped functioning.

Insulation on smaller gauge wires at battery terminals started to melt.

Lever actuated switch for this function do not appear to be working. No vibration like the other three switches when they are working.

1. Could it be that the melting wires and the hydraulic switch/valve issues are related? How and why?Read More
