LT20 WoodMizer hydraulics are manual?

[difflock]

Dave got a bit snippy, and referred me to their website:001_rolleyes: when I had the termity to request a detailed specification against his quoted price.

so am not asking him again.

Nor buying a WoodMizer either:001_tt2:

But I surmise the optional extra hydraulics on the LT20 are hydraulic hand pump powered, having carefully read and re-read all the very limited info available on their website.

Back to Cooksaw or importing an LT35 then?

[aswales]

Have you seen the autotrek mill (fuelwoods website) looks very good and heavy duty, also logosol are now doing the HD36 available with electrically powered hydraulics...be interested to see that in operation.

[difflock]

I was. . . happenstance.

looking at Cook's again.

But price against spec they are much of a muchness with TimberKing.

Plus Cooks suspend the hydraulics overhead on their lower priced mills (being 3 out of their 4 models) only the top spec HD36 mill gets the better arrangment as per TimberKings standard arrangment.

And I like my hydraulics neatly packaged in TK's "energy chain"

Thanks Jonothan.

I will look at Fuelwoods site, though I suspect the Autotrek mill bes well pricy.

I looked at the HD36, and whilst appreciating the battery stored energy being used to power the hydraulics, was attempting to avoid any 12V stuff if poss.

Plus a fully specced HD36 is the same kind of money as any other hyd mill.

Though at least I could buy the basic HD36 and "bolt-on" whatever extras I desired as required.

A sensible sales concept.

I can't stand 'salesmen' like that.

Aswales,

Autotrek/Loglogic product in a different league.

And build for an entirely different market demand.

100mm wide bands for cutting large diameter hard hardwoods.

what about this

Portable Sawmills > H 360 | HUD-SON Forest Equipment

works out about £11k

i got a quote from them to ship me a hudson oscar 230 and it was $1000 usd ($300 carting which i presume is to get it from them to docks in usa) and $700 to ship to liverpool docs.

i delt with a guy called mark major, they are excellent, i'v bought a few smaller items from them and they dont bat an eyelid when i ask to ship to uk.

if you want his email address PM me,

Cheers.

PS only thing is its not CE marked.

[Big J]

That looks pretty good for the price actually! That said, I think that I would still go for the Turner Mills Hydraulic model instead, as it's a bit cheaper with more features.

[aswales]

Hud-son do have a UK distributer which import CE marked versions of certain mills for EU market - find them at Just Saws, hydraulic not listed over here...might be worth talking to their agent..

Couple of others that spring to mind SERRA (German) - see marshall logging website and pezzolato (Italien) and forestor - both on Saws UK Ltd Bandsaw Blades and Bandsaw Machines suppliers, UK.

 

Perhaps its about time we made a British one (apart from the engine...), been looking into this for a while - got 2 main hurdles to get head round - bandwheels and the issue of CE marking....

[farmerjohn]

yeh, just saws (uk Hudson distributor) quoted me £6500 for the saw,

Hudson in America would do the saw delivered to Liverpool docks (same CE saw and shipping) for $7771 USD which according to Google works out at £4708. both exclude vat and delivery in UK.
