Seeing what you do for a living, and the Equiptment you have to keep running, I am taking another look at the Cooks Sawmill, and see if the extra money for the Timber King is worth it. Although the cooks looks like a stout sawmill. That tic-tac-shit is easy to fix, and I would definitely order it with different hose couplings. Thanks for being so honest. What part of Kentucky are you from,I bought close to 300 acres near Cumberland Gap.
The Cooks is a sturdy machine but not a high production. One thing I've noticed during my many hours of research on the Timber King is you have to off bear the lumber from the side, which may not be a bid deal for some. Caution: Would not recommend buying any of the mills that was produced during the covid years in 2020 - 2023. Best of luck on your future mill. We live in central KY but have family over in the south eastern part of state. It's beautiful there! Thank you for watching!
