Thread: The trials of mobile milling :D

and at the moment I have around 30-40 cubic metres of log to slice up there....as you'll see some logs came from another jobsite close by and where a nice score of 7x5m long ironbarks and some 2.4 ironbarks plus a small amount of spotty

after a heap of time following an excavator, at times trudging through knee high water, (roping Carl in to help on weekends) as you saw before drowing one excavator, I managed a small amount of time cutting some sleepers and flooring...even swindled Carl to get him to mill for me for a day and also lend a hand trouble shooting with bob the cat...

we end up gettin more DAMN rain!!!! Geese if it does'nt rain 'til Christmas it'll be too soon for me!!!!and now I have to deal with this to get milling so what does Al do? what ya think? I produce the second pic

Love the bridge

Looks like you had a couple of decent loads on the trailer, you'd have felt them through the ute

nice lot of logs there
oh and for the record " just rember a cat has 9 lives " so it was never going to drown

Yeah first load on the trailer I thought she would drop an axle - was $ hitting myself, the logs where in a gully too, so had to take off uphill outta the gully with them, but ute did well and trailer brakes worked like a charm, was also good I only had to take them 500m down the road tho

The digger drowned and stalled, sucked up water and just packed in, they dragged it out later that day and yer she is running again. Operator tells me this is 3 times in 3 years :O

Hey Sig,
Where did you get the trailer or is it homemade?, looking at selling my truck and making one similar?

Cheers

Trailer is custom made, but I'm not very happy with what they did more than happy to complain further about it, but reckon we'd lose Carl for a week if I complained about it more

Hey Al, is that ironbark you come across a bit regrowth stuff, Im thinkin them logs in this thread to be bout 40 to 50?

Nice job Al. Sympathise with the wet weather. Pretty miserable getting bogged and everything being wet etc.

Regards
Paul
