I drove down to Oxford NY. and picked up my new TURNER MILLS 36" yesterday.
It was quite a drive. About 600 mills round trip. Left home at midnihgt and got home 4:30 pm.
I haven't decided witch engine i'm going to use on it yet. Got an 18 hp kohler and a 40 hp diesel. When i get it working i'll post some pictures.

This'll be exciting! I vie for more horses, but then, I'd put 500 hp on a skillsaw if I could. :)
Looking forward to your pictures and how the saw performs.
If it can handle the wieght go with the 40hp diesel, a 18 gas will be slow sawing in wide boards, Kohler's 34hp gas has good power too. Steve
Right on !!, I'll be anxious for oics too, Have fun with the new mill!!

The mill i bought is a Turnner. A guy named Bill Turnner builds them in Oxford NY. He has been building the for quit a few years. They have tires and rims instead of steel band wheels. Check out turnnermills.com on the net.
I bought his manual trailer mill, 36 inch diameter cut, 17 ft. log. I am going to automate it little by litltle as i go. I am going to start off driving it with a 45hp diesel engine, hydrostatically, about 20ft of to the side of the mill.
