Hi NFG. The low pro is a bit faster but it is still slow. The 365 will be used for the Farmers mill from now on so I'll get a shorter bar for that and use the 880 on the big stuff. Got all this Sweet Chestnut ready today for milling will post pics as milling.

Looks good! Is the logosol a lot more productive than an alaskan? Whats the cost of the logosol?

I presume the logosol couldn't handle bigger rings like the one your 550/560 is leaning against in your last picture?

Hi jamesd. This was my first go with it. I think it will speed up things once i get used to it and it's limits. I mainly got this to process smaller logs but it can take a ton they say up to 60 cm diameter with the poss of cutting much larger logs and up to 3.8 m long and longer with extra extensions. But at the moment I've no way of loading something that big so will use the Alaskan to make the bigger lumps manageable. You can add the electric and chainsaw log moulder electric speed saw and electric bandsaw if you got a lot of money. Some good clips on youtube.

hi james,get a solid gb bar for milling, solves all your droop problems, and if you are getting a lot of large dia stuff, turn the mill upside down, ........mount the mill to the log.....details on the logosol us site, there is a logosol handbook about it

Its red oak from a garden near Sevenoaks. The client has a big stack of it in his garage that he is planning to turn into floor boards when it is seasoned! It’s pretty hard wood!
