that would be great as long as i can get it here cheaper than buying it new will have to check it out.

i do have a 20 ft aloy ladder but it is about 13" wide and dosenot sit level on the log as the rungs touch the log and not the uptights

Get 2 bits of 2 x 4 or 1 x 4 or 3 x 2 and tek screw them horizontally onto the top of the ends of the log so the ladder can sit level on these. Then Mill away!

Cheers

thanks will give it a go with the ladder

If you're a hard core, ya makes ya own! And ya buy an old CS and spends loads of money fixing it, . . . . Are we having fun yet, . . . . . you bet

try your local mower shop or garden centre. and remember to ask them about a chainsaw mill not a chainsaw thingy.
