We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

You can achieve the same results with an alaskan mill with a little practice.
That thing looks like it would be a pain in the ass to setup in the field.

I've seen a number of people using a ladder to help achieve their first cut. I personally just use a 2x12 or similar, screwed into the log and shimmed where necessary to create a straight cut.

i have a smaller version of the above mill. pretty nice units. you need a powerful saw. my 261 feels a bit underpowered.

Alaskan mills are really good but that Logosol mill would be much easier for processing a bunch of small logs. For bigger stuff an Alaskan mill is hard to beat.

I've posted these before but here they are again.

Husqvarna 390XP with 36" bar. I wish I had a 42" but I'm not sure if the saw would be able to run it.

my buddy got the trees for free, milled all the timber for a post [HTML_REMOVED] beam house with a bandsaw mill costing 7500$, sold the mill for a little less but still the mill paid for itself

The two big slabs were part of some milling I did for a neighbour. I made a whole pile of stuff but those two slabs were the most beautiful. He was going to make some benches and a table.

The stuff in the truck is my own and will be turned into a shed once I have enough wood cut.

It is all cedar.
