It is a great mill. It’s still in the hobby mill category but does a good job. I’d get the trailer for it though. On the trailer the rails are one piece and easier to level and it’s at the optimum height. If you go without the trailer the rails are 6.5’ long each and you gotta put some time in...
Dingo is a 2016. The closest dealer is Earthborne equipment in Warrington or Norris sales in Norristown. (Although I think recently bought by united rentals)
the stack is only half of that log. Seems like cutting stickers is gonna be a good portion of my milling🤣 I need to get my hoop houses up soon. I ran outta space almost immediately.

Got the rails together today. Next is racking and leveling. Gonna move it onto the 6x6’s as well to make it easier to clean under. This part had to be done outside where the mill was going. It was a pretty cold day. Tools would freeze to the ground in about 5 or 6 minutes. I wish I had down time...
I’m sure there is a lot to learn. That’s part of the reason I got it now. I’ll get plenty of use out of it just for my own projects around the house but the intention is to make money with it.
