 I do beleive that Valley Machine works built the Woodmizer edger when WoodMizer was looking into getting an edger in the orange family.

Back in the late '90's both Wm and Valley were at the Bangor logging expo with their edgers.They were identical.Excellent edger,I've got a 1999 with the 25 hp Kohler.

I think they only go to 12" wide and my Wood Mizer goes to 15".Come to think of it, the old WM only went to 12" I think with an Onan 24 horse gas engine.
