[image] Diesel in crankcase Can someone explain a diesel engine with no injectors??? Sure … here’s a cutaway view of one in my collection. The screw device on the top of the cylinder controls the location of the “contra-piston” which permits changing the compression ratio for starting and run…

yea rafterman, I’ve taken my mill out for a few jobs along with the forklift I can tow behind a rig. it’s fine to do but not for real big jobs but most of mine don’t get over a couple thousand BF. Bargemonkey, seldom does one encounter krap in trees here. I did saw a walnut last year that caus…

Northern NY. Theres 30+ firewood processors / 50+ sawmills within 1hr either direction of me. Boats are just a fall back option when fuel goes nuts / stumpage / weather, going to see people starve to death soon the rain doesnt stop, doesnt freeze up. Put in a brand new stationary amish built mill 2x…

Unless youve got a decent customer base dealing with the general public is a waste of time, they pick thru the pile for 3 boards, we have a 70x24 building just for lumber, decent sized kiln, Logosol 4 sided, big single sided, now its by order only. Mobile sawing is another great way to lose your shi…

The last I checked a woodmizer like mine was around $40k and near a year lead time. this one i overhauled is probably worth something like $25k or maybe more? the woodmizer website has some used units on there but most stuff seems to be back east.

Tried moving posts on too small of a device, got them out of sequence. Anyway… [image] tugsailor: Hud-son mill with a one year lead time. It looks good, but it’s limited to about 14’. I’d prefer to be able to saw longer logs. The Hud-Son I’m familiar with came with a track made up of 6-foo…

yea, heard that about hudson, frame flexes, neither are those mills with the hydraulic hoses that follow the carriage. always getting wood chips and krap stuck in there. There is some good competition with the Woodmizer out there but I’m not watching, I probably won’t get rid of this mill as I…

I have a Lucas 21 inch swing blade made in Australia that works really nice, ive had it since year 2000. i have cut logs up to 5 foot diameter, totally portable, you can saw any length you want, just buy more extensions. i have one set of extensions and can cut logs 27.5 feet long.

5 FT. is huge, I can’t get much more than 36" and that’s a bit much, anything bigger I have the neighbor cut in half!! sounds like one of those outfits you put on the log?

you can set the saw mill up around the log. if you cut your 5 foot diameter log in half its still 5 feet diamter.

yabut, one can turn it on the side, my mill will cut quite a ways in height , probably taller than wider so that works but a 40 inch log has to get whittled down a bit by bit and isn’t worth the effort, wastes blades and such. welcome to the forum, I usually am on the pro mariner part or the ma…
