Panther Cub vs Granberg Small Log Mill

[Dave Boys]

I'm looking to buy a log mill to use with my Stihl MS261.

Looking like a choice between the Panther Cub or the Granberg Small Log Mill.

Thoughts and advice appreciated folks

Sorry but you need to Get a bigger saw, your 261 has not got the cc. Unless your going to mill 10”/12” logs

Both of these mills are designed for milling these size logs!

 

Go for the Panther Cub - we're not biased or nothing

 

• Bolts more securely to chainsaw rather than pinching the bar
• Faster height adjustment
• Better fittings
• Lo pro bar gives you max cut at width [17"] at best speed

Cons - it's more expensive. But either way we don't have small log mills for weeks.. we have the Panther Cubs in stock.

I was / did make a longer reply but shortn'd it  to....
I was really saying, once you get a taste for milling a 50cc is not big enough.

 

Happy milling ? it’s adickitive

[Dave Boys]

Thanks both

 

At this stage I’m just looking to mill a few trunks from trees I’ve felled in my own wood so 17” max is fine - first attempt without a mill was “interesting” ? but can see how this could get addictive ?

 

Rob - I’ll give you a call next week.
