Demonstration Day in Wisconsin - April 26, 2008

We are planning to be in Wisconsin in April at Jim Birkmeier's farm! It's going to be a great day there - seeing Jim's operation, and meeting our customers in Wisconsin. We will be taking the PH260 on the road, along with some other equipment, including the Log House Moulder and the new MF30. We will also take a robot along - to keep the chains sharp, of course.

Jim has planned a big day around this event. He will be having Full-Vigor Forestry discussions and Solar Cycle Kiln tours, as well as logging demonstrations and flooring installation information. It's a unique time to see an operation from forest to floor. No where else can you get this much information in one day!

Rivers will be going with me to do the sawing on the M7 and making some log home logs with the log house moulder. That is always a fun thing to watch - taking a raw log and turning it into a finished product right in front of your eyes.

And I'm excited about showing off the MF30 for the first time. I've been working with this machine and it is certainly an excellent piece of equipment. I'm anxious to get Jim's take on this new machine from Logosol.

If you are in the area, please make plans to attend that Saturday. We already know of people coming from out of state, so if you can make the time to travel, it will be an excellent opportunity to see the machine and an operation that is using the machine to make money. That's the bottom line these days, is to make money, right? This event promises to provide you with not only technical information, but also how to make money with this machine.

I hope to see you there!

PH260 in Article in TimberWest Magazine

Got a call the other day from Don Jennings, who has been putting the PH260 through its paces in a big way out in Idaho. He mentioned that he had been featured in the current issue of TimberWest Magazine. I found a copy of the article on the web and have included a link to it on this blog. It's a great writeup about his sawmill operation. But, Don told me he couldn't help but brag on his Logosol Planer/Moulder to the reporter, and they included comments about the Ph260 in the article as well.

Don has a great operation going out there. He's found quite a lot of resources are available to him since he takes the stuff the bigger mills don't want. So, he's taking salvage logs and turning them into retail quality finished goods such as paneling and flooring. The PH260 has become a major part of his operation. He estimates he has put 90,000 board feet of material through it since February. "It’s gotten me so much business, and the guy that used to do my planing now sends me business," he says in the article.

It's always great to hear about success with the PH260. Great work Don!
