I have the LT35, Its perfect for me, I have the hydraulics to load and turn logs. I am 63 and I am not wrestling logs. I talked to Woodmizer not long ago and they were 15-16 month wait for Lt 35's. Ron
I currently have a Frontier OS27. Im thinking about selling it and buying a woodmizer lx50 super. Im told that they are the same as the lx55. In your opinion would this be a worthwhile upgrade?
Been contemplating getting one for some time now. Still think in my case it's more time efficient to have a local custom cut my own timber. Time being the most expensive being self employed. Great vid Tim
Matthew Cremona..(Pa) cuts the big stuff on a homemade band mill. Iron & Oak Sawmill knows a guy who does the big stuff as well on another homemade band mill. They’re around, Matt has a channel. Take care and stay safe! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Doug, how is the 55 doing for you? I had to pause for a spell but early next year with tax monies I'm back in the market. Any details on your mill would be appreciated!
Lol I been working on my woodland mills 122 cutting 2x8 pine today. There is a woodmizer dealer in Louisville Ms , I ended up getting a woodland mills 122 cause it was the only one we could get the soonest and that was 8 months wait too , I like the woodmizer mills and been watching a lot of videos on them .
The Bergman's Mahoe twin-circular-saw supermill (or smaller minimax) is one of the options for the larger/ medium logs (electric motor (appropriate to region)or Kubota engine power). The state of Victoria/ Australia is looking to ban logging of their indigenous forests (some areas have large trees felled with machines like Tigercat LX870s with pulpmate 9.5K lb fixed bar saw heads). The Asian scrap metal man is likely to get the old sawmills. If it was not for the voltage/ frequency issue & transport cost, might have found a real cheap Aus commercial circular saw mill made by someone like A E Gibson and Sons (established 1896). example head rig consists of 3 horizontal medium-sized circular saw blades followed by two large vertical circular saw blades, the higher large blade cutting before the lower blade, so 3 boards fall off at the same time rather than a large slab. I have heard of a sawmill family from Downunder flying over to Sweden and disassembling & packing a disused commercial sawmill into shipping containers with minimal assistance. The Swedish trees had similarities to the small-medium pine they saw downunder.
I know what you mean about people who don't understand cost and profit. I mow yards for my wife's family. I am not doing it as a business. I am disabled and they have to wait sometimes because my pain holds me up. I make enough to pay the gas and oil and blades. If like last year. I had to replace a 300 dollar part. That ate all I made plus more. I have over 400 hours on the mower. I will never be able to replace the mower. I am thankful it's heavy-duty. Fuel costs was a killer last year at over 4 dollars a gallon.
Hi, I live in the UK, and last year, diesel was $10.80/gallon and petrol $9.54/gallon. Currently they are $8.05 and $7.61. I would've loved being able to buy it at US prices!
@Jason Moncrieff You can come to the USA. But fuel prices differ from town to town and state. You can pay 30 to 50 cents more in a different area. I don't understand it. In my area, non ethanol gas is a dollar more per gallon.
I always wanted to run a saw like that . Just amazed at how cool they are . Today's a rough day and watching your videos pick me up . Today's the service for my sister that passed the 13 of Feb. Gonna be a rough one for sure
REALLY close to buying a mill. At 20:30 he mentions hundreds, maybe thousands a weeks in "log" cost. Now, what I'm asking, is ballpark, how much do you all pay for logs? Do you simply contact local tree services and buy their 'sticks' for 10/20/30/100 a log? For hobbyist, which is what I will be, what is feasible to expect in order to get material to work with? Oh, and cotontop3, Thanks for sharing insight on Wood-Mizer vs Woodland Mills. Subscribed, sir.
You should be able to get some wood for free from local outlets. You will probably have to cull through some of it because usually there's something wrong with the tree and that's why its taken down. Also very often, trees around houses will have metal in them, so be ready to wreck some blades if you go that route. If you buy logs, price will vary a lot.
Y'all mentioned lacking circle saw manufacturers, there's a older fella in Maryland has RUclips channel goes by Fricknjeep. He's got Frick number 1, and a much older smaller Frick, and he had to have a bearing block base for the small mill. Because the block that holds the bearing for the jackshaft to the blade busted.. He located a small shoo up there near him that has taken over the Frick parts fabricating for replacement parts. They've also started selling their own version of the Frick saw mills, and they are basically refined, and branded differently from my understanding. Looked to do mainly inhouse machine work on all the components, including painting everything. Look him up, the video was just last week, and his videos are numbered in sequence, with descriptions, and thumbnails. If you're seriously interested in new circle mills of smaller sizes. Hope that helps, and always enjoy the content when you two are visiting, and are doing business with one another.
It’s amazing how much smaller sawmill’s have come in abilities to produce quality products. I was in the wood 🪵 products division and we had the the ability to run over 400k of 4/4 s eight footers with a three man crew in one shift. Modern technology is a amazing tool with deep pocket larger sawmill’s. I was doing a little hobby project the other day and went bought some osb for nine dollars a sheet way down from 42 pandemic days and stud’s down to less than 3 dollars.
Interesting Saturday morning coffee time chat.
Thanks Tim.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a great video. Very helpful! Thanks!

Great video. Great talk and yall are 100% correct on business cost and business expenses.
Yes! Thank you!
Been contemplating getting one for some time now. Still think in my case it's more time efficient to have a local custom cut my own timber. Time being the most expensive being self employed. Great vid Tim
Tim with cottontop 3 needs a saw mill to go with his tree business
Great video Tim, very informative, thanks for sharing, there's nothing like freshly sawed pine, ohhh that smellll! #sawdustismanglitter
You got that right!

Many truths spoken right there. I see it everyday in the retail business.
I’ll tell anybody if it ain’t a woodmizer we ain’t talking

I ordered my mill in Sept 2021. I still haven't been given a build date. Woodmizer estimates April 2023. They are waiting on engines.
We waited a year and a half for our mill, got it this past fall.

@@cotontop3 Thanks for the feedback and valuable insight. Cheers!
Use ripper blades .! They have great blades
Make sure the battery for the impact are charged.

I’ve been waiting on a woodmizer since November of 2021 lol 😢
Great video. Straight forward and to the point. Honestly from experience. Very refreshing gentlemen. Thank you
Great conversation, love to have a lx55 on my farm in Texas. Good luck to you.
I’m a farmer and when we joke with each other we say it was a non gross year!
great video I had a 48"white oak sawed on a band saw the log 10 ft long weight 10,000 lb he but the mill him self it was a pusher
Maybe you could talk him into some chips for those mudholes
Great video Tim enjoyed the video with the belt driven saw this one was just as interesting
Thanks 👍
My woodmizer dealer is a 1 man show. He never answers his phone. I have to call to Indy to get answers
