I'm looking into purchasing this Mill but the owner doesn't know much about it as he bought it from an estate sale. It has a Perkins diesel on it and the trailer is roughly 30 to 34 ft long and has a cutting width of 42 in roughly. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with these mills or knows what it is? It is fully hydraulic and does not seem to be home made

My first thought was it may be a Timber Harvester mill!

Where are you located?
The frame doesn't look like a TH or a Mitey Mite.The head does resemble the MM.

Iam just down the 401 a few hours. the mill looks vary similar to my brothers mill, the names on the tip of my tongue. if it is the same the company that built it started in Marmara Ont then moved to Peterborough Ont. my brothers mill is not as big or complex as yours so I would guess yours to built latter on. I think the company starter in the late 60s  or 70s and produced till the the mid 80s. Iv talked with the man that started the company different times. a few years ago I heard his health was failing and I haven't seen him around.
found it  "Board Bandit"
