Ok so i have been thinking about buying an alaskan to put on my 660 and try my hand at milling. I found a guy near me with an ad in the shopper selling him stihl 880 and alaskan MK3. I got his email and he sent me a few pics and this desription.
I would like to sell this chainsaw sawmill for $2100 or best offer, i WILL NOT sell the chainsaw before the sawmill but if you already have a powerhead you may buy the Alaskan MKIII and set up for $1000 or best offer. The extreme advantage of this set up is its infinately portable and can be run anywhere you can walk around a log. I have milled in the woods when the log couldn't be moved just as easy as moving the log. When you don't have the heavy support equipment to move thos oversized logs this is the set up for you. Have sawn 30+" cherry slabs and made table tops out of them, and have sawn 16" red maple for trim. http://onlinestore.forestindustry.com/scripts/granbergint/002014.html Alaskan MK-III C3 Mill 36" The C3 mill comes complete with everything you need except the powerhead. Included are double end saw bar, ripping chain, oiler kit, slabbing rail bracket set, helper handle, and chainsaw sharpener. Retail $685
9ft EZ Rails Constructed of durable air craft aluminum and steel, the EZ Rails attach and level in minutes providing an accurate and stable platform
for guiding the Alaskan saw mill. Retail $200
5ft EZ Rails. Retail $140
Mini Mill II The compact milling attachment combined with your chainsaw converts logs into lumber or beams. It also makes an ideal edger for use with the Alaskan MK III. Comes with 12 feet of guide rail in 2 foot sections. This is attached to a customer provided 2 x 6. Retail $95
http://www.stihlusa.com/chainsaws/MS880.html# For the power head i have a newer Stihl MS880 attached to the alaskan sawmill, the saw starts and runs perfectly, all new filters meticulously maintained oiled cleaned and tuned, never overheated very powerful. Also comes with 48" 0.404 pitch bar and chain. Retail $1400
So if i run the numbers i am getting around 2500 bucks he has invested. I am pretty sure this is way more mill and saw than i will ever need but i am curious on what you guys think of this setup and his price.
I kinda think it is really steep (but hey im kinda cheep to). I might go look at his setup and offer him much less. what do you guys think?
