Comparing $3000 sawmills - Is the WoodMizer LX25 worth it? Hudson, Woodland Mills, Norwood, Grizzly

I just watched. I am a woodworker, not sawyer (but lawyer), and I thought your presentation was excellent, fair, even-handed and impressive. Thank you. Also subscribed, thumbs up and rang the bell. Keep up the good work.

Great non biased review. I have a chainsaw mill and have wanted to upgrade for awhile but price and fixed budget have not allowed that. I appreciate your fair evaluation

I found a played-out LT 15. The guy had run it into the ground including ruined axle. It is one of the earliest model. I removed every bolt and part that could be removed. Then totally restored it including stickers and paint. I have never had a problem, except blade roller guide and blades. That was 12 years ago. They are the easiest to load. The most stable and stronger than Sampson. I did replace the original 11 HP Briggs w/ a 15 Hp. Kohler. I have used it way more than most would. You are spot on correct. Nobody treats the customer better than Wood Mizer. Thank You.

I am currently in the market for a saw mill. I have had my eye on the Hudson or the Woodland Mills. Leaning toward the Woodland Mills. Your video was well done and gives me food for thought. You're a benefit to the sawyer community.

I really appreciate your video and the information on this mill. I’ve been wanting one for a while and had been leaning towards Woodland Mills but you have certainly given me something to think about.

great chat Preacher, I have been wanting a Wood Miser for a while and you were fair and complete in your descriptiom of all the different mills I think pride started Wood Miser and now the change in management could be greed driven I hope it doesn't affect thier coustmer service we will soon see.

I've had the Woodland Mills HM126 for about a year and a half. It's been great! Max cut is 21" between the guides, which it handles just fine with a fresh blade through hardwoods. The paint (not powder coated) wears a bit too quickly in my opinion. The motor (14hp) starts up no problem every time. Max cut length is 10'5" without track extensions. Each extension adds 6'6". I'm adding one extension for $375. Excellent return on investment. Also... EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE! 😁

I have the Woodland Mills 14hp HM126 I added an additional 6 feet of track and built a saw mill shed around it. I have a tree farm and have done several projects Saw Mill Shed, Sided my hunting shed with 5/4 red elm, added a 1.5" oak floor in the hunting shed, built a Red Elm Boat Dock on the pond, and stacked a lot of Cherry and Elm. Today I have a couple Cherry logs i'm going to pull up to the mill. I'm doing some contract sawing at $.40/BF 1.5 Oak for a Horse Barn and 2' Oak for flooring at a local Band Camp. So far I'm very happy with the Mill.

woodland 126 owner here... upgraded to14hp and it has a 24" resaw and 26" log. It's solid . Apples to apples your video confirms woodland

Thank you brother for doing the work a.d putting everything into perspective! Thanks alot. Great channel. Subbed.

Really good video, thank you. Just one word of caution to anyone that may be comparing electric HP to gas engine HP. Don't expect a 7HP gas engine to do what a 5HP electric engine does. A good rule of thumb is you need twice the gas engine HP to compare to the power of electric motor HP. A 5HP resaw mentioned that sounded like it has an electric motor. You would need a 10HP gas engine to have roughly the same power.

The woodland mill would be hard to beat. You can buy all the extra track you want for it. It is built very heavy and customer service is this best I've ever worked with. The 14 hp Kohler starts very easy and it is the quietest engine of all my small engine equipment that I own.

I know I am late to the game with this video. Last December I just bought the Woodland Mills HM126 with the 14HP Kohler engine (and 1 track extension). It is an incredible machine and have nothing bad to say about them. Thank you for your review and your unbiased opinion.

Thank you for all the information! It helped me out a lot

Very informative, thanks for taking the time to make this video.

I owned two woodmizers over eighteen years. LT40HD, both. Very satisfied with customer service and product quality. Made a lot of money over the years. Very satisfied customer.

Well done sir, well done. Probably one of the reviews I've seen on YT for any topic. Thank you. John.

I bought a harbor freight sawmill in April and have cut about 10k bft on it. I got it new/used for a good price and I've been very happy with it. From the factory it'll handle a 24" wide 9'6" long log and by taking the push handle off you can go up to 27" wide. Lengthening the track is as easy as bolting some angle iron and 6in C-channels together. The 8hp engine is fine, but more power would be nice. Customer service is non-existant, but there's a great community of owners on Facebook to help ya through any issues.

Thank you for the info, much appreciated. Great video!

I’ve been seriously looking into buying a bandsaw mill! What a coincidence! Great information! Thank You for sharing!
