It says timberwolf all over it even a website and phone number. The website no longer works and the phone number is for another company in Canada. I couldnt just add the photo to the post but i attached the document showing the pictures.

Look it over good, if mostly off the shelf parts I'd get it.  The Kubota diesel is a BIG plus.  Steve

i am just joining on the forum. i have had a Timberwolf sawmill since 2004. it is fully hydraulic with the kubota diesel. i think it is an excellent mill. i went to Cambell River where it was made and met with the main guy Garnet (who left years ago, but one of the best mill makers). Anyway, excellent mill. the only problem i had was the main bearing that holds the drive pulley for the blade. i had a machine shop make an oil bath bearing that (knock on wood) has not caused me any problems since.
if i understood correctly at the time, the Timberwolf was very similar to  "The Cutting Edge Portable Sawmill" (which i can't see any current website or phone number either). both excellent mills.

I have a Timberwolf I bought in 2009.  It was made in 2004.  Fully hydraulic with the Kubota Diesel.  We mill with it every day with a 4 man crew.  We have milled a lot of lumber with it.
