Vintage milling and stuff.

I was asked to lend / supply some logs for a demo of a 1940's stenner sawbench (mobile) at the cornich tractor clubs rally this weekend. Here is a video and some pics of a few old lorries.

The tractor driving the mill is a TVO fuelled Case. This rig was being used commercially not that long ago- about 15 yrs i think.

Nice! I saw this nice old 1920s mill working this weekend too.

Haha- they are scary things eh?

[Paul Barton]

Too right! My wife couldn't watch!

 

Brilliant to see old kit still doing what it was made for. And old geezers still doing what they love.

Totally. The old guy in the vid is 83. The bench is either 90 or 70, depending on who i was talking to....
