tractor and sawmill

[kcbarnes]

It was a nice crisp morning today and I cut a few cotton trees for a guy I work with. The sawmill is a norwood lumbermate 2000 with a 20 horse honda.The shed is a work in progress project that I will finish next spring but at least it will keep the snow off me this winter. The logs were the largest yet with my forks, they worked great.Can't wait till next weekend to do it again.

Envious:
Sure looks like a nice set up. I would like something similar as we have a goodly number of trees that would make nice house lumber.

Just out of curiosity, what's that attachment on the back of your tractor?

There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are very, very few old bold pilots. And they get scarcer every day.

The attachment on the back of my TC40D is my version of a farmi winch exept without the winch. I made this to drag out logs to big for the loader and use the bottom part to keep from tipping backwards while I have the nose of the log off the ground. And to woodmills, this is just a hobby, I wish I had the setup you have with your log trailer ect.

Nice arch you've got there. But that is a real back saver.

would you recomend the Norwood. I have been lookng at them for a couple of months now. My plan is to cut and mill my own logs for a cabin. Maybe do some custom sawing afterwards. Anyone else's input would also be appreciated.

I can say that I have been quite happy with the mill, I cut again last sunday and it worked great, the largest log was 27" in dia. by 8' long. I just got a flyer from norwood and they have added some more options including a log loader/turner.A great way to spend a day. And the arch I just built and not sure when I will use it because the tractor has been able to lift all the logs so far with the forks.
