Where are you heading? 6-8 weeks bonus? Its a no brainer, just buy one.  Will be waiting for you when you arrive home, haha. 

UXO job off Belgian coast mobbing in ijmuiden once done vessel will be remobbed for a chain swap on the Alba fsu for chevron. Looking like things will be pretty busy Andy so yeah it may well pay to just buy it otherwise I may find myself in the the same situation I'm at now in sept/oct with 25t of DF to convert to beams etc and no time to do it.

Working to those dimensions Andy, hopefully if weather is ok tomorrow I'll do some measuring up etc and see where I'm at. The drawings might be of use depending on what route you go with your own trailer set up.

Damn, that much still to mill? ?

 

Those drawings are handy.  

 

Id have to build/have built a Heavy Duty Trailer like yours to be able to use a Hydraulic lift I think? The Sub 750kg ''all in'' trailers would just coup over.

Looks good. Rather than the wood I was wondering if you could put up a few images of the log loader set up. Second pic showed the top hyd ram mount and pivot point very well. I'm looking at making or buying a set up, be good to see one in detail empty and at different positions during its operation. 

Cheers

Might be worth you speaking to Bill Watson at Angus Biofuels in Forfar. He has my old Logmaster LM2 sawmill, which is a Texan machine, built like a brick shithouse and with strong, simple hydraulics, including a log loader. Can't be too far from you and it'll give you plenty of ideas on how to pimp your sawmill.

Cheers J 

ill possibly give him a shout tomorrow.

Did a load of beech on the bandsaw and started on this wind blow dead oak bounty and what a beauty got 7 slabs off should get another 4 in the morning.
