first big day out with new mill setup

[farmerjohn]

finally (although sooner than i thought i would) i received my new double headed mill from chainsaw bars and chains and bought a MS880. we gave it a small run out on a oak log in my yard then straight to this fella!!!!

its 18ft long and about 4ft 8inch wide

Perfect cuts glad you missed the nails. K

Top job fella?

[Wonky]

Very nice,.....

Wow,. thats some beautiful Slabs! 

 

Are you using 2 x MS880's? 

 

How did you find the job? Easier or harder than using a single MS880 and a 48" Mill and Bar?

 

If you dont mind me asking what did you charge for a job like that?

 

I had the dreaded black stain of death on a log I milled lately.  The Cable then doubled up after this cut.

Great work and a proper way for a tree like that to end up.

we are using 1x ms880 and 1x ms650.
plenty of power, biggest differance is using the hyper skip chain.

I have only ever used double headed mills. as far as the mill goes i actually like my swerber mill a lot more, i know its heavy but its 2 man system so does not have much effect on use.
i was going to sell the older setup but am not 100% sure now!!!!
