Wow,

emailed TimberKing on Thursday past with a US 1600 /UK 1600 model specification query.

Got a reply from Will Johnston (the company President!) on Friday, i.e. the next day.

Wow!

 

What did he say?

Apologies Jonothan,

Will simply stated that, apart from minor "CE" compliance modifications, the US and UK mills should be the same specification, model for model.

I yet await to find out the difference in price between the US and the UK.

If I get no response from Matt Marriott inside a week I will ask TimberKing to price me a Mill Stateside.

And I have reasons to imagine I will not get a response from Matt btw.

Regards,

Marcus

Jonothan,

Twice the Price is ABSOLUTLY correct

For a LT20 with hydraulic options

£17,938.00

Plus a wheel kit at 4k

= 21,936

plus UK carriage at about £650.00

= £22,588.00 at 1.6 Ex rate

= $36,140 = virtually twice the US of 18,995 for the LT35HD

Talk about being bent over double.

 

wtf - got to see the justification for this?????

Not as if they are not making money on that price in the states as well!!!!

Rip off Britain still exists.

Yupp!

I wouldn't mention to woodmiser that it is going to be brought over here, I doubt they would be interested in supplying you if they found out as it would upset woodmiser uk I would think.

But that is a lot of saw for the money.

It can be done though. Another sawmiller just north of us brought an LT40 in from the States a few years ago. He reckons the American made machines are better than the Polish ones and he saved himself about £6000.
