I have 1 Oak and 1 Hickory tree on the ground with about 100 feet of clear trunk with no limbs lying on the ground. The smallest diameter is 15 inches. I cut them into about 15 foot lengths and stacked them with my tractor. They came down a year ago and in october so not fully dry yet. I want to cut them into lumber but dont know of any saw mills in my area and have no way to transport them even if there were. Years ago Dad and I would take logs to a nearby mill but it has since closed down.
I have been thinking about getting an Alaska saw mill to process them, anyone have any experience with one? Any other sugestions? I dont need perfection. I inherited my dads woodworking shop and can work them into finished lumber from rough cut. My tractor is a Ford Jubilee and I cant imagine it running a sawmill via the PTO. Nevermind the hydraulics lifting anything, Stacking them was a bitch.
