Farm which will accept chip to compost and logs and cord wood by appointment

handling a meter plus 3,4 5 and 6 inch slab isn't an issue, neither is the shed for it to go in, tbh i don't mind one needing work providing its worth the agro and tbh wasn't wanting fancy hydraulics on a mill, i'm un familiar with peterson, i was trying to avoid any chainsaw or lucas type mills purely as they make too much sawdust. i suppose the question is if every one is saying i'll not get a forester or tom sawyer for the money... how much are they and where would i find one? and what other wide band mills are there? i'm not interested in a flimsy woodmizer having used one be ok in douglas but not wide oak. here's the sized stuff i'm used to cutting...

depends, bit of both in that the day job timber frame and building conservation/ restoration means large dims odd shapes, wind braces cruck frames etc, and most of the trees i tend to get are ex farm/ hedge / parkland stuff big and wide., i can source small section stuff, but large air dried bits are getting hard to find, i have the shed space so may as well saw and that way can control quality my self, we've an antique rack bench which i've used for 20 years or so but want something that looses less kerf, and i haven't got to cleve before putting on the table, would rather have something rail mounted as i could lay 30 odd feet of them and it would allow me to literally saw anything up...

Probably been covered before but say with a budget of 10-15k where would i get a wide band horizontal mill? just missed a trekka saw, maybe after a 2nd hand forester/ tom sawyer but maybe out of price range, having tried a woodmizer decied narrow isn't up to the large/ wide through and through capability i'm after of over 1.2 mtr
