A couple phoned me to help them find a home for their Dad's LT40 Super Diesel.  When I got there, it was 9 years old but has only 4.9 hours on it.   
If you're looking for a used Woodmizer, I hope you find a 'diamond' like this one!  (Now it has 10.1 hours on it)!

So what is the rest of the story??
Did it only take him 9 hours to saw enough wood to build his house and barn?  :D
Alaska?? That thing should be worth new price less shipping.

That guy on "Life Below Zero" hauled his WM 500 miles (IIRC) then put it on two boats for the last part of the trip!

According to the records from Woodmizer, the former owner traded in his lt40 for a new Super with pretty much everything on it.  He was about 74 yrs old when he did the deal.  It was a dream.  My job as a sawyer/sawmill guy up here is to help people's dreams come true.  A fellow with a VERY bad heart came and bought a mill from me.  It was clear that his teen-aged son was not going to be much help.  But it was his dream to cut his own lumber.  I felt compelled to encourage him because we all have dreams.

Lee asked about my siding attachment.  It's a new product for me.  What makes it nice is that it doesn't require you to lean over the attachment to tilt the deck.  I'll put some photos and a better description on a new post.  Thanks for asking about it, Lee.
