It was too slow and not really beefy enough. That claw turner sucked, not enough hp, dragback system not really up for dragging back heavy cants and ties; constantly broke the dragback arm welds, not fast enough operator controls, head up/down, etc. It was a really good mill but I think it’s alot better suited for someone sawing retail lumber, it wasn’t quite a production machine. If I wasn’t always in such a hurry I wouldn’t have upgraded but it was the slowest part of the whole operation. I remember saying to myself when sawing with it many times, almost all of my problems that I have with this mill can be fixed with a 70...and so far, I really like the 70, I think I’ve found something I’ll be able to stick with for a good while. If I need more production the next thing would be a scragg mill. Not planning on going that route anytime soon. Hoping we can make enough lumber to keep up for awhile..
