milling perhaps twice a week large diameter beaming through and through timber mainly hardwoods but large diameter over 1mtr and up to 36 foot, currently using  a band rack and a circular rack with 8 foot blade but need to get more "up to date" and commercial, its taking too long and loosing too much in kerf.

general thought were horizontal band mill but no idea what make or new/ 2nd hand... budget 10-20k?

any ideas?

Did you look at the "poleSaw" range? Ttm800 or similar may suit?

I have sent you a message as looking at selling my 7 month woodlands HM 130 as upgrading to a woodmizer.
