Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[PapaPerk]

Some of you guys mention selling logs on craigslist. I tried, oak and cherry, and only got guys who wanted me to GIVE it to them. I guess having it milled might be better, but I found very little market for logs. If you have lots of big trees, maybe you can get a logger in there.

Been our experience as well!

Its a Canadian company but they have a wharehouse in the USA and ship all over the world. The Sawmill was less then 1/2 the price of any other bandsaw mill I could find at $2900. As well I bought an extension track so I can mill 16 foot logs. So with Mill, Extension tracks and 10 blades +taxes was about 4,000 cdn dollars. I did cut the main 20ft 6x8 beam but had to repossion the log to do that length.

What brand is it? Sounds like a good deal! Thanks for your response!

Another angle of the Sawmill as well as my slowly growing lumber pile. One of the issues I run into is sorting the wood, ie if I need 2x4's I have to rearrange my piles. Left side is 9 ft pile and right side is lumber up to 14 ft long. I hope to build a 20x40 garage next summer. (Commercial trusses for roof)

Man I just love that whole saw mill setup! Like the shed. It's just so old fashioned looking. Gotta build one! (0:

Don't keep all that equipment hidden in the woods. Show us what you do with it like RustyIron says.

I would love to try an excavator out some time. I feel like I'd end up using one to get the mail...

I have put 500 hrs on my excavator and I'm still amazed at all the things I can do with it , I got 3 buckets and the hydraulic thumb and it is so versatile I'm always finding new uses for it. It is very handy in the woods for trail work ,culverts moving logs , digging out stumps, bridges, I use it for holding firewood logs off the ground while I block them to split
