I’ll try and hold out long enough to post a vid. 🤣

 

Its not arrived yet. It left Sweden about 10 days ago so surely it’s due any day. But it’s going to the dealer first for a check over then coming down to me.

I often get overwhelmed with the amount of work involved in milling 😆

yeah...I thought I'd have a go at  milling to ease my self out of climbing as I get older... it's not to worst idea...well clearly it is the worst idea if I'm going to be using an Alaskan mill.... think I'll start saving for a skylift instead 😜

Get a Bandsaw. Still graft but a lot less than an Alaskan. £400+ a day.

I built a log deck with ramps behind it

 

Load the log deck with over 5t of logs, then stack them behind with the loader

 

Quick rill up onto the log-deck when the loaders gone

 

The loader cen keep me going for quite a while

today's job...felled these oaks a few months back...  client told me not to waste time stacking / stickering and clearing up....so i didn't. Ended up using the small log mill with 20" lo pro on the 661 for most of it.  nice light and rapid.
