Portable Woodlot Equipment

Portable Woodlot Equipment WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Saws 23-1-27 If you've got a woodlot that's hard to get to, you'll like this new portable equipment that makes working in even the remotest areas easier. G.W. Lucas & Sons' mill is a portable saw mill which can be easily set up and run by one or two operators. It can be transported on a utility vehicle or pickup and features light but strong aluminum rails and a powerhead fitted with removable wheels for easy shifting. It uses a gas strut mechanism to turn the circular saw blade through 90 degrees. This allows cuts in both the horizontal and vertical planes. Two models available. Model 6 with 16 hp engine and 6 1/4-in. maximum depth of cut. Model 8 with 20 hp engine and 8 1/2 in. depth of cut. Sells for about $9,300 and $11,400, respectively. Yanigav's new portable log saw is said to be more convenient and easy to use than any conventional stationary table saw. It's powered by a Kawasaki 8 hp engine and features a 20-in. dia. saw blade that retracts and extends to the cutting position with a foot pedal. It rides on two 10-in. dia. pneumatic tires and pulls to the job just like a wheelbarrow. It'll handle up to a 9-in. dia. log. Sells for about $1,750. Also available in trailer-mounted model.
