Hello chaps, following on from my post about small bandsaw Mills I have a hm130 max that I'm in the process of building a trailer for. 

 

I will be making ramps and a winch pole to start with. 

 

Any advice or smart little ideas/ additions. 

A couple of pulley blocks plenty of rope. K

Hi get a 12v winch I have a 2tonne hand winch and it’s ok on nice round cedar logs but heavy nobbly butts it’s hard work,also make sure the steel you use for the winch pole is nice and thick walled as my pole has bent so badly I need to remake it and I think a small laser pointer is a good investment as you can point it down the butt to make sure it’s going to fit through the throat ! I have taken the chainsaw to a few butts on the mill , that’s my advice for what’s its worth only had the mill a short while so just finding my feet with it 

Cheers Mark

I'm considering putting the mill onto an ifor williams flatbed that way I can bring home wood I've milled.
