Anyone interested in a 1600 TimberKing Mill

[difflock]

I have priced for a 1600 TimberKing mill "Ex works"

I have been quoted $24,292.00 incl for 20 No Dakin-Flathers blades and a $500.00 spares package.

About £15,000.00 + VAT if applicable

Shipping is the killer.

quoted at $4440.00 = £2,775.00 + VAT

Anyone interested in "going halfers" on the carriage with an order for a TimberKing Mill.

"halfers" on shipping being pro-rata'ed on value of order.

Container to be shipped to Belfast Docks, and back-load other Mill to the UK.

Or perhaps visa versa.

Larger value 1/2 of order determines destination Port perhaps?.

If say, someone wants a TK2000 Mill or bigger.

And split the final destination truck transport costs for the other Mill?

 

I got 2 weeks to decide.

If the price includes all the hydraulics listed above, I'd go for it. I would be careful to clarify that it does though, as the standard 1600 is only equipped with hydraulic up/down and forward/back. I'd deselect the set works and add hydraulic toe boards. I use them on every log.

That is apparently the standard US spec, which is why I made the enquiry in the first instance, since it was significently hydraulically better specced than the UK model.

I did not want to meddle with the standard spec, and figgered I could add the hydraulics to the standard manual toe-boards myself.............well..........eventually.

Though I did take it odd that this was the only item that was not hydraulic.

cheers

oops, must ask what price the optional de-barker is.

And ding!, ding!

Woodmizer re-enters the fray, just today.

After I braced them vis-a-vis their glaring US/UK price disparity

Watch this space:biggrin:

This "no secrets" internet indeed bes a very powerful tool.

In terms of transatlantic price comparisons.

Did you decide what mill to get? I am thinking about changing my woodmizer and really like the look of timberking and I have my hart set on a 2200! So if you contact TK again ask them for a price on a 2200. I should think that would fill the shipping container!! All the best Clint.

[difflock]

Thanks Clint.

rgards,

Marcus

btw

Will quoted me $30,300 for a TK 2000 (without set-works), when I enquired after roller toeboards for the TK 1600.

[Big J]

I've seen a 2200 up at Frank Gamwell's a couple of years ago - they are big machines and you wouldn't get two into a container.

[difflock]

Still worth asking "J", perhaps simply require some element of flatpacking with the smaller TK1600 "flipped" on top, Sardine style.
