Congratulations.   I was told 6 weeks when I wrote the check for my lt50. A few days later it moved to 9-10 weeks. Still waiting!

I went from a LT15 to the LT28. I felt like driving a Yugo to a Caddy. I don't know if it is the height difference or the power drive. I also have a Woodmizer EG50 single blade edger which really helps. If I have help you can really boost production.
I enjoy reading about your experences in sawing, keep them coming.

Thanks! Will keep everyone posted. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the upgrade! I think I am going to find it nice as well. Talked with woodmizer today and Im looking at about mid march for a delivery. I am very anxious lol.

While I'm waiting delivery of my new lt28, business must go on! Here is a little cedar order I worked up last night.




Also while I'm waiting, been doing a little bit of logging for those who are interested in that as well!

[gww]

From your picture, your cedar looks pretty knot free compared to what I am used to.  Makes a pretty sawdust pile though it probly won't be as pretty when you are moving it.
Cheers

Looking good!  How are you liking the International?  Does that have a 366 or 466 or something else?


Gonna miss the 15 are ya?


Cedar looking purdy 

[gfadvm]

That's some pretty cedar. Ours is rarely that clear.

Wow Wallee,

Had to read the entire thread in one sitting. I really appreciate you posting all of your successes and tribulations. I am waiting on my "starter mill" now. I am starting with a small manual bandsaw and I hope to upgrade to a fully hydraulic model later this year.

I have learned a lot reading your thread. Please keep the posts coming. I am cheering you on from Louisiana.

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It sure has been a fun ride so far! Can't wait to get my lt28 in!

Cedar looking purdy  :o

It's got a 7.3 in it! Same as the ford 1 tons from the 90's and early 2000's. I love the truck!
Probably won't miss the 15 when I get the 28!

[4x4American]

Duh lol it prolly has that blue/green looking T444E..


What are the main features you're looking forward to gaining with the 28?

Mobile, bed frame design, and the cantiviler head design.

Remember that even that LT28 frame has to be supported.  If the ground is soft I put boards under the outriggers to keep them from sinking into the ground.  I periodically check them to verify that they are all still carrying weight.

Wow, Wally!!! That  cant is bleeding!!! I've never seen ERC that big or clear...

Thanks for that tip! I will have to cut me some boards to go under them feet!

I cut some ERC at a small job a few weeks ago that was 36" at the butt and around 26" at the 16'6" mark. It did have a bit of rot though. I got a job coming up that is going to have some pretty nice cedar on it. Will be hauling a bit to my mill and some of it is going to another mill at tree length. The other mill is using it for some type perfume or something??! Anywho they are paying good and take it tree length so thats a plus!

So no milling to speak of till monday but look what I found at an estate sale this morning!
xl12

Got it to fire off then it went to spitting raw fuel out the exhaust when I tried to start it again. Thinking I need to check the carb over, may be something sticking or a bad dia. Will get some carb cleaner tomorrow and give her a once over. But hey it was only 12 bucks! Im a sucker for old saws!

I just put a new old stock saw like that in the trash. It was never used untill I got it.
I used it for about one hour before it quit. I found out it needed a new gas line.
The line just fell apart. After about an hour of trying to replace the line it went to the trash.
The line was made in the block where you would need to take every nut bolt and whatever
off just to get to it. Wasnt worth it to me. After I trashed it I thought that maybe that
I could have ran the line on the outside of the case. Oh well I got to many saws now.

Got it out today, started on 2nd pull. Runs like a top! Thinking about full restore and making it a shelf queen/ play with saw!

[Kbeitz]

I saw that too, and wondered if it was a bicycle hanging behind it, or a crazy people eater power saw lol


Wallee, that's impressive it started on the second pull!  Don't feed it ethanol gas!

[Kbeitz]

I'll take some more pictures of one I do have with handle bars.
