16-18ft tri axle Les and a decent mill 15k he paid for that trailer with the HI AB etc stick 10k on for a decent mill and you have a very versatile set up. Adds few more legs etc, bearing in mind I did my woodlands twin axle from scratch !. 

maybe not as far fetched as it first seems. I guess it’s all down to what you are intending to do with it once built  🤷‍♂️.  

To high for operating and loading dave

Deck on the Trakmet sits at 840mm when set up on level ground an Ifor tri axle floor is at approx 650mm when level, well my 14ft tri axle is. My self build woodlands trailer was higher than the ifor too. If crane is loading it would not be so bad. Like I say no one machine will tick every box but it is an option I’d say.

Guy I work with has just bought this, lovely bit of kit. You are right in a lot of what you say, unfortunately you need about 5-6 bits of kit to tick every box🤷‍♂️. 

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Great bit's of kit these! I priced one up- came out at about £14K+VAT. This is what I was wondering about linking together with the Logosol mill. If you played it right you could have the mill be demountable so that you could use the trailer and crane for collecting logs...

Weight of that trailer and hiab would be pushing 2 ton so legally you would not get many logs on there.
