Mobile sawmill - pros and cons

So has anyone owned to LogLogic and can they compare it to the Mizer?

I`ll watch this space BigJ and see what you come up with, whilst my woodmizer has payed for itself, its fiddly, and goes through a fair few blades as I dont have a debarker,,(2k xtra), seems to be a moody bit of kit,,,

 

I don't like complicated, I like simple, especially from a maintenance point of view. This is why I'm not convinced about Mizer yet and am looking at alternatives, preferably British manufactured.

i''ve borrowed a trekka saw and it was ok but had its limits, mainly the bands breaking in the gullets, i've used a towed log logic twice and in comparrison to a mizer much better but the blades would be more, i'd also go for the stellite tip so more expensive, and the kit was more expensive than a mizer, £ for £ i would say mizer is better value but if you've the money then i'd have a log logic, if i had the timber and time i'd build a propper mill with a stenner band rack.....vb 54 or similar but not really portable....

Brother in law's got a woodmizer, not sure of the model, but he'd definately describe it as moody...... i've heard the expression "like a woman with bad PMT" mentioned around it on occasion. But as he says, there ain't a lot of choice when you compare £ for £ as the market is sort of limited in the UK. Guess he wouldn't do an awful lot with it compared to some people.

Hi Treenuts,

 

Give me a shout and we can discuss importing something monstrous from America, as Jonathan put it! I run a TimberKing 2000 and it gives me very little trouble. The stack in the backround is the result of 2 days milling Western Red Cedar.

you can run a slightly wider band on the mizer range inc. the LT40 , i think you may need to fit wider guide rollers, the bands are also thicker in width and I am told cut longer straighter and last long, de barker helps.
