Just got one second hand. It's fine, and generally cuts well, but has it's limitations. Also quite a lot of general maintenance.

 

Other makes worth checking out are Timberking, Autotrek and Serra.

Just sold my Hudson Oscar 36. Excellent machine, FAR cheaper than a mizer, and just as good. I didnt pay for a name though......Far more bang for my buck IMO.

go with the LT 40 HD its how mobile saw milling evolved. With the cantilever head they set up well anywhere. The de-barker is worth its weight especially on skidded logs. Ive been using wood mizers since we got our first in 1991. They wont cut 4' logs but upto and around 30" x 20' aint bad for a mobile unit. LIke any thing it doesnt look much for the money, but they are wll made and you can earn good money if you know how to saw.

It's the hydraulic log handling that really speeds things up. Having come straight from a full manual mill previously, I can tell you that production rates are at least 5 times higher.

 

The lack of throat is an issue, but with the monster chain mill that I now have along with the extensions, I can cut a 40 inch log straight through it's heart and pop it on the mill. Very quick way to produce a lot of timber. I've got 400 hoppus foot of big Oak to process this way.

I have an LT 70 for sale-the difference between this and the 40 is the slightly bigger throat, slightly bigger blade, better blade guide rollers and auto clutch.

 

It has full hydrualic log handling and debarker,its on arbtrader,or PM me for more info.
