How many board feet per hour on an LT40 hydraulic?

[ladylake]

 Enough yet or should we get down to the specifics about what works and what doesn't.   Steve

[Peter Drouin]

Do you cut crane mats too? Do you sell lumber? Do you cut for a big mill like some do here?

No I don't cut crane mats yet, I do cut for a big mill, I sell a lot of lumber plus a lot of custom sawing.  What does all of this matter??     Steve

See, A TK can do all my WM can do . Is the matter, All the mills work just find.
And for the Sawbuck , I think [ old saying] came from a saw mill, Sawing and bucking.

There's a LOT of people watching this thread..... Hey Everybody. How ya doin'?

[red oaks lumber]

well here it comes :( my first mill was a tk 1999 b-20. shortly after i joined this forum, the topic was mills and i said the best day with my tk was when i sold it. you lady lake jumped all over me!
with my tk i sawed just under 800,00 b.f. so , i feel very qualified to be very critical about the unit and the service. i truely believe steve, that your actually jealous of w.m. owners but, just cant admit it. if you ran one i'll gaurntee you'd send yours down the road. i did!!! like i said before if i had to go back i'd quit. thats not a rip on tk, just my hard learned opinion.
:P

boy, if that's not a rip on TK, I don't know what is.  You literally said you'd give up milling (on a milling forum) if you had to go back to a TK mill, where I come from that's a rip  :D :D :D :D, let's at least agree to be honest with each other. :-[

After reading all the WM problems on here you HAVE to be kidding.    I did fix a couple of design problems when I first got my mill like the cord reel and drive side guide wheel, apparently you didn't  .  Once fixed my mill works great with many customers (formerly WM customers ) making comment like you can saw all day and don't have to work on it. If you like your WM mill fine but keep it to yourself as I'm not going to sit here and take your insults about a mill that works GREAT. Steve

 I was told by whom I believe a wise (ole) man, one who would most likely run me under the ground working a mill, pick your fights!  this one is one of those without a doubt. It's not just the mill, the logs, or the region.  It's about loving what we do, making the best of out decisions, and living with these decisions, and then moving on, lifting folks up as we go the best we can.  I've seen many a mills and scenarios, to saw is a blessing, and to make money is bonus. Kinda, chumpy comment, but really, there are lots of occupations, and they are all voluntary.

you say you have 9000 hrs on your mill, how many board feet has it cut? hey i'm happy your mill works for you
mine didnt and i'm not shy about telling people. how is speaking about problems being an insult? i have ran alot of equipment many differant brands and types large and small.  when somethings good i say so, when somethings not i say so.brand dosent mean dittle to me ,how something preforms and holds up means everything.
if we cant give our honest opinoins about equipment then we havent done justice for anyone. how many times have you steve made a buying decison based on someones personal expeiance? my guess is often.

[Brucer]

I think one of the admins must have goofed and accidentally combined two threads. The original post was about BF per hour on a hydraulic WM mill, not about who's equipment is best :.

Maybe someone could start a topic on the "members only" board and move all the "my mill is better than your mill" discussion over there.

[Dave Shepard]

I agree on the splitting of the thread, but it isn't entirely about who's mill is better. There are other ongoing issues at work.

[red oaks lumber]

its not mine is better than yours, just stating issues
