I wish to thank Wood-Mizer for the outstanding support system that they have developed, as well as the design of an incredible mill. I'm one of those persons whose lives have changed by the purchase of an LT40HD.

Add the advantages of hydraulics to the quality and durability of the LT40, and much of the physical labor associated with sawing is eliminated. Six hydraulic levers located at the front of the mill, control the functions of loading, leveling, clamping, and turning of the log.

Once the log is ready, the operator simply sets the board thickness and feed rate from the centralized cutting controls and walks along with each cut. An optional operator seat can also be added for convenience.

If you have not witnessed firsthand the advantages of hydraulic log handling, call us to talk to someone who has or visit our website to find out when you can see a demonstration for yourself. The speed and ease of operation provided by hydraulics help serious sawyers achieve their goals.

Options include a Command Control station that brings all controls, including the hydraulic log-handling levers, to a fixed position at the head of the mill. Other options available on the LT40 Hydraulic include Accuset® 2, AutoClutch, LaserSight, LubeMizer™, Board Return, Operator Seat and Debarker.

  Power Options
28 HP twin cylinder gas with electric start
35 HP Yanmar diesel

• Log side supports:Raised and lowered remotely through the control box.
• Monorail/Sawhead:Assures fast setup, easy leveling, and accurate cuts.
• Adjustable outriggers:For simple rough leveling. Optional fine-adjust outriggers available.
• Removable gas tank and blade water bottle:Can be lowered for easy access to mill.

LOG HANDLING

Hydraulic Roller Toeboards
Extra-wide roller toeboards compensate for log taper and allow easy log positioning.

 

 

Hydraulic Loading Arms
Logs can be loaded in seconds with the throw of a lever. Each arm features a self-leveling, heavy-duty cylinder.
Hydraulic Log Clamp
Special two-plane clamping system simplifies sawing of stressed logs. Cuts as close as 1" from the bed are possible.
Hydraulic Log Turner
Turning a log or cant for the next cut is easy. Just move a lever on the control box.
