Hey guys after 4 years of reading, i finally pushed the trigger on a brand new woodmizer LT15.

Assembly went well but this being a new Generation assembly plan's didn't match with what i had.

Plus i am missing the keys to start the engine, so i am wating impatiently!!

Meanwhile here's a pic



P.S. Sry for my english (I am from Quebec  ;D)

Looks good, congrats and welcome.
Some of the small engines have a sort of universal key. May work with
a key from a riding lawnmower if you have one.

Ditto on the congratulations.  I also had the same problem a while back regarding keys and found a Kawasaki key from a Lesco walk-behind fit a Kohler motor.  It has Indak on the key.

Congratulations!  I'll second the remarks on the key, Most small engines with electric start have an Indak key and they are universal.  My mill key will start my engine on the debris loader I use to vacuum up leaves in the fall and vice versa.  An old Snapper lawn mower has the same key as well as my Sears riding lawn mower.

Congratulations on the mill.  That one is a workhorse.

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Nice tractor and trailer/loader!  make sure to add some armor, lights, glass, fuel tank, hoses!  Lots of good pictures of other members setups with tractors.  Many will be jealous of the loader.

Looks like a good size tractor you have there. How many hp?  Nice forwarder trailer you have there.
