Looked at a 2011 3665D this am. Anyone here have one? Anyone seen one run? All thoughts? Nice clean machine and a few pluses over my Logmaster.

I've only seen videos of them in action, but since I have a mill with 67 hp, you will love the power! Was once a serious consideration for me until I found Cook's was almost local to me (3 hrs. away).

Was not looking till this showed up 1/2 hour away. My 31 hp cat/perk saws faster than me. Price seems ok. Now the wife...

Tom is a 3638D, but there are a couple of local 3665’s. It is a beast of a mill. Personally I think that the Woodmizer is a better option for portable milling (Faster setup), and the Baker a heavier duty option for stationary milling.

Yes, I agree would not want to move it around. The same as my LM3, to big.

And my Cook's AC36 is not very easily set up, either. I prefer it to stay where it is anyway.

Cut a small log on it, now to see if the price can come down some. A few things need worked on and 4700 hrs on mill.

I have a 3650E, great mill. I am sure the blue/ orange thing is the same as the Ford/ Cheve thing. Saying that I haven't owned orange. I can say Baker has been all and more than I could ask for on service.

I do not own it and service is GREAT. Called to ask some questions and I was on the phone for an hour. They were in no hurry to get me off the line and called me back when the call got dropped. Came to terms on the price should be coming home on 4-2.
