I wish I’d ordered cast wheels with my M.

what are yours? and is your rear wheels max out for widest width? and tires loaded? that one is

Just the regular rear wheels- they weigh about 200 lbs/ per less than yours.

Yes & Yes.

I load logs on a regular basis That onlookers tell me I can’t.

Is yours a 6060 or a 7060?

Go Big Orange.

We only mill Oak, Larch and Spruce. And even then we send it off to mill. We use it mainly to refurb the houses and buildings, or structure, or flooring etc. Everything else, including oak we can't or won't mill, goes in to our 5 fireplaces, or is sold.

We use larch, which is mostly dimensionally stable similarly to Doug Fir, for structure and planks as well. Some spruce for cladding etc. This extension(a room and a covered patio) is nearly entirely of Larch, including two 1'x1'x12' columns with oak flooring. We also have 3 stables we made with larch and oak, and one rather large shed that also can hold two more horses(we have 8 or maybe 9, I forget. It changes):

This may look like a lovely piece of millable ash, but it's value as firewood is far higher, as heating your home in Ireland, which is something you want to do up to 9 months out of the year, isn't cheap. And ash will burn very hot. A cord of mixed firewood goes for €150 here, 100 unseasoned. Which means that red oak I posted earlier is worth thousands and thousands in firewood alone. And, quite frankly, folks here do not want to pay for milled timber. Most who use planks rather do it themselves, or their businesses evolved near a mill anyways. It's much more profitable in the UK to mill your own wood :
