I have no if my renewal payment has been taken, Id have to ask my accountant, aka my Wife. But I have now had a customer through it and seems like he will be a recurring customer so its well paid for itself this year.

Dont keep us in suspenders! Fill us in on the details.

Burn them.

This is on the HM126 page. I guess its as legal as any other trailer thats not over 750kg though; License for Highway Use Although it is sold as an off-road package. Road safety components are included to aid in the registration as a home-built trailer in your jurisdiction. Every province, state and country have different requirements and it is recommended to check with your region requirements.

Would be surprising if its collapsed so soon though.

What about the Torsion suspension?

When its jacked is there any play in the wheel? The bearings could be shot? Also, is the Woodland Mills Trailer Road Legal? Im sure they are but at the back of my mind they where for carting around your land only.

8" beams and the drawings are mostly in my head. And worked around what beams I have available. Yeah got the Makita and it's a god send saves so much time. Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the pictures you post up. Some inspiration for me.

Will be interesting to see if we actually find out what it sells for. Including the logs behind. Seems some folk cant read though....

Ok

We should have a sweepie. Tenner in each, Op can tell us what the seller actually gets for it all, the closest takes all.

Including all the logs behind? Maybe 3t worth? £160 a ton? Ok, maybe a bit much but will be interesting to see what it actually sells for.

'And the Breweries pay Marmite to remove this byproduct. Supply and demand.

Doers it come with all the branches as well? Gotta be worth a punt at £500

Yes, the spent Malted grain. Yes, animals love it. Yes the Breweries get paid for it, or give it away. Again, supply and demand. I brew All Grain all the time, not including the word Grain hardly makes a difference to the point.

A byproduct of making beer is the spent malt. This is a waste product that is sold as animal feed. Like logs it can of course be given away for free. Supply and demand and all that.

The 130 max is a bit of a game changer really. About the only mill in that price bracket that can mill 30" wide. Most Mills in that bracket can take a 30" Log (there abouts) but the Cant, ie the widest board you'll manage to cut is about 24", again, there abouts. Everyone who has a Woodlands Mill seems on the whole very happy with them. I believe the 130 max Saw head is Dialed in out the box, so really reduces build time. And who'd not want an extra 6"? Gobby Punk is currently setting up his 130 max, so Im sure he can fill you in on his first hand experiance. There are a few other 130 owners here and Im sure they will let you know how they got on maxing their Mills out with both hard and softwood. I'm not really sure what other Mills are available in that price bracket? Norwood after seeing what I can assume a sizable dent in their market share to Woodland Mills etc (a few other brands in the US in that bracket, ie Harbor Freight) have a Chinese build budget line now called Frontier. The OS31" can take a 31" log but the Cant is only 23". So a bit of a trade off there, but from a very well known Bandsaw Mill company. As Rough mentioned, you also have the Logosol B751 and B1001 Mills, but your jumping up a week bit in price. There is also Wood-Mizer and Norwood Mills to consider in this price bracket. If the 30" Cant is what you're looking for then there is no real competition in the Market to the HM130 Max just now. Not in that price range.

I did wonder that myself. He seems to think its work more to someone who will carve it than milling it though. Just offering to slab it if thats what the buyer wants. I'll assume at a further cost.

Really? Well when you next see a good clean 880 for £500 let me know! I’ll buy it.

Yip, I think £500 as well. Brave of you to admit that here though. [emoji16]

Nah, I’ll either get the 881 or a copycat G880. No middle ground. [emoji16]

I'll most likely stick with Stihl and Makita to be honest. But I do like to put the cat amongst the pigeons. Maybe next year if I get some more OT I'll maybe even treat myself to a new 881, so I can feel more in the club. But Id sorely like to get the copycat 880 and prove the naysayers wrong. Its just the way Im built. Regarding the Poll, I think it might surprise you to be honest. Im not saying there will be loads of Chinese saws, but there's deffo a few here. And at no point would I make a few burner accounts and add numbers to the Chinese Saws side of the Poll.

Me second. ?Stihl and Makita. Till last year it’s been Stihl since I was 16 because my old man is a Husky Man it it’s in my nature to go against the flow. Maybe ask Big J to help you out making a poll if you’re serious? Polls have to be anonymous so the folks who have ‘dangerous’ Chinese saws don’t feel like they’ll be shat on by the Saw Snobs. ?

I believe it’s an open forum for all disciplines and skill levels? No one that you know of uses these saws on here. That’s a big difference. Unless you’ve conducted a poll I missed?

Good points. No, I dont know if its a fact and am going on face value only. Could well be 10,000 units or individual items now that you mention it. Regarding the G660 though, it does seem to be a huge seller for them. Every day there is posts from new guys firing theirs up for the first time or building a new one. They have dealers and re-sellers in the US, Canada and the UK who have and see to shift an awful lot of stock. But again, I do not have one. Just seen their saws pop up more and more frequently on FB milling pages. Folk getting 2-3 years milling out of them before needing fixed. Two to Three years solid Milling from a saw that costs £250? If its not your main source of income thats a game changer for a lot of folk who either just want to start out or do so as a hobby. I'll most likely get the 880 when it comes out. Purely to resaw 5 Ash Slabs. If it lasts the whole day and costs me £500 its paid for itself that day. If its anything like the reliability Im seeing from the owners of the G660 on FB and other US Milling forums and it lasts 1,2 or even 3 years its very cheap Milling.
