INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (January 2, 2015) –Wood-Mizer LLC,the world’s leading sawmill manufacturer, introduces the LT70 Super Hydraulicsawmill – a mill that allows zero to sawing in ten seconds! Engineered to saw logs faster than ever, the SUPER70 will join Wood-Mizer’s industry leading line of portable sawmill equipment.
Combining the rugged power of a 55HP diesel engine with the functionality of engine-powered hydraulics, fully-proportional joystick controls, and an enhanced operator interface, the SUPER70 is faster than ever- all at your fingertips. The compact and efficient hydraulic system integrates directly into the engine’s power for the ability to withstand rugged and mobile environments, even in harsh, below zero climates. Serious sawyers will also benefit from an increased production rating of up to 1,050 board feet per hour.
To demonstrate the increased production speed of the SUPER70, Wood-Mizer Service Technician Nick Burdine proved the ability to load, clamp, and begin sawing in under ten seconds at the 2014 Paul Bunyan Show in Ohio. John Robertson, Wood-Mizer’s head sawyer and owner of Lumber Worx – a custom sawing operation in Indiana, described the new sawmill as “extremely fast and productive”.
