Just what foresters need
A remarkable range of highly productive, compact sawmills with competitive price tags are being launched by the newly created Just Saws division of Charterhouse Turf Machinery.
Four models of Hud-Son Oscar Sawmills are available that between them meet virtually all foresters' requirements, having maximum log diameter capacities of 18in, 28in, 30in and 36in (45cm, 70cm, 75cm and 90cm). Each is designed for rapid on-site setup, allowing maximum productivity to be achieved.
The Oscar sawmills can also be supplied as a towable trailer package that enables them to be towed virtually anywhere. A wide range of engine options are also available.
Just Saws anticipate particularly strong demand for the Oscar 30, the 30in-capacity (75cm) model. It lends itself to use both as a portable unit and as a static installation. Power on the standard version comes from a 16hp engine, and the machine is supplied with two 2.1m (7ft) tracks.
All four Oscar machines feature a robust four-post design for maximum head stability. This reduces the risk of uneven cutting and gives constant accuracy. They are also designed for easy servicing, with straightforward access to essential components such as bearings, belts and shafts.
Adding to the appeal of the Oscar sawmills is their low-cost characteristics, with prices starting from just £1,995.
Just Saws (www.justsaws.co.uk) also supply a full range of accessories including log ramps, tooth setters, saw blades and blade sharpeners; and are the UK distributor for a new range of high quality pruning saws from White Horse. This range includes both standard and folding saws as well as long reach pruners on poles up to 8m long.
"Charterhouse Richmond have been selling sawmills for six years and our experience has led us to set up Just Saws and select the top-selling Hud-Son range of sawmills for exclusive distribution. Many of our customers have been quick to see the benefits of the Hud-Son sawmills," says Philip Threadgold, Managing Director of Charterhouse Turf Machinery.
