    Hey guys, I am at it again. I posted pictures of the trailer loader I built for a sawmill project I am doing for my club. Well I have almost completed building the chip loader. I only have a few last minute details to add and then it will be complete. I still have to finish building the chip trailer and the conveyour belt into the bunker.
    Let me know what you all think.

    Excellent model, Ryan. I had never considered having a stand alone item like that for loading trucks. Is it modeled from a prototype? Thanks.

    Nice! There is a woodchip mill we switched in Ohatchee, AL and they had a loader like that. Good job!:)

    Thanks for all the comments guys. Flash it is not model after a specific prototype but it is very similar to the one I model it after.
    Here is a question for all of you. With the latest re-release of the Walthers lumber mill, do you think there would be market for this? I have to make several of these for various other projects I have in the works. I thought to myself why dont I make a resin casting for this and produce them?

    Yes. A local lumber store has one of the loaders too, so it's not just lumber mills...
