OK I know this is like asking chevy or ford, Stihl or Husqvarna, ect ect.
I am getting to the point where I am ready to take the next step to a bandmill and I am looking at a timberking 1600. The things that I like about it are the 32" cutting width and relitivly low cost compared to full sized mills. I have milled with a friend on his LT 70 and after you engaged the clutch you have to wait for a couple seconds for the cutting head to stop wobbling. That is probably because the band was high above the deck cutting a large tree but what the heck.
I am hoping to get some real feedback from people who have hopfully run both or seen both. Either way chim in on the good bad and ugly.
Here on the west coast all I see is Woodmizer but from the videos I have seen of TK in action I like what I see.
