I was curious as to the details of it's construction. that really answered some questions about how it fits on the saw, etc.

On a similar note, that guy was milling through some wood at lightning speed, but then I look and he's running an MS880 with a 36" bar. daannggggggg.....

lol that is the best way 076 is another good one...but the biggest logs I will have is around 35 in. and thats poplar so the ported 460 and a 32 in bar will do. (my hard woods are all under 28in.) I have the 30in. mill 32in. bar recommenced cc 65-85 I have 76.5cc

bring it over, then. google maps to Macomb, IL. I got oak & black walnut waiting for you. I have a big enough harvest (I think) that you can get a full load on whatever you are driving/towing. this offer isn't good for anybody else. I get 25% of the boards......... Too bad you aren't a little bit closer.

I have 2500 board foot 800 ready to go and the rest will be done by may 9th and worth 2-3.25 a board foot klin is rig and ready to go the math says I can afford 2-880 lol
and still turn a profit.. walnut is all sold alreay 900.00

That's great but for the price, you coulda bought a small, portable, real sawmill.

was thinking the same, but I know Jay and he wants a big saw to play with. I give him less than a year before he has a 6ft (or equally ridiculous) bar to use for the big trees.

lol the biggest one I have in my sites is 63in. very round and have put it off for more than a year called the guy Saturday night and told him we have a answer to the problem! Now I have none quite a few trees 58-59 in. with flat spots with a 28in. bar so a 41 should cut any tree in the mid-west...again have mill will travel! lol

not even close the Alaskan mills is the cheapest way out easy enough to pack in a woods and with 121cc will be pretty quick for a mill. A good use mill with around 8000 hrs on it is 4000.00 buck range

yes even counting the saw price! with saw and mill is under 2000.00 and its all new.



"A good use mill with around 8000 hrs on it is 4000.00 buck range" and will not be able to do the big slabs!

I bought my little sawmill for $500.
I cut up enough wood to build a chicken coop, an 800bu. corn crib, a 30x60 barn addition,
sold about $2000 worth of lumber, and sold it a couple years later for $800.
And I didn't ruin a good chainsaw to do it.

lol the 880 built to mill and you can see its well worth the effort 500.00 for a mill you got lucky for sure....And planing a 20x20 on the shop aswell so I am pretty happy with my choices....If anyone can where out a 880 all it would need is a new top end after many many many board foot...I can assure you it is the choice of many millers.
