    Default saw mill wanted to buy where do I look?

    Hi all, I have been looking for a few years to buy something that I can perhaps hook up to a 3 point linkage on my tractor?

    I would like something with a Hacksaw type of setup

    Also I want to buy a largish type of Sawmill for crosscutting "mainly fire wood but obviously slabs also.

    I must be looking in all the wrong places..

    allthough I did once see a very extravigant setup at a clearance sale it was like a horizontal bandsaw? with rollers and this and that quite a high reserve price too from memory?

    cheers,

    Steph I look forward to all responses

    What you were probably looking at was a proper portable bandsawmill.
    http://www.woodmizer.com/en/sawmills/index.aspx

    Very popular in US the where they usually have smaller logs. Not so common in our part of the world where logs are bigger.

    More popular NZ and Aussie mills would be Peterson and Lucas swingblade mills.

    These are proper samills though, not firewood buzz saws. Use them for cutting nice acurate boards out of decent logs.

    A good chainsaw is still the most cost effective way of breaking down firewood.

    Cheers

    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
