View it in action
This equipment was assembled and operated as a complete lumber-production system rather than as a collection of unrelated machines purchased for resale.
The circular sawmill, line shaft, Perkins diesel engine, planer, tooling, sharpening equipment, conveyors, hydraulic systems, skid steer, and supporting equipment all formed part of the seller's lumber operation.
The seller is now finished with this line of work and is ready to move on.
That is also why he strongly prefers to sell the entire operation to one buyer.
Instead of spending months or potentially years advertising individual knives, heads, sharpeners, tools, conveyors, and machines separately, he would rather see the setup go to someone who can put the complete operation to use.
The seller has now reduced the asking price from $105,000 to $94,999 OBO and is inviting serious buyers to submit reasonable offers.
The seller reports that the system was operated as a working setup and that nearly everything related to the operation is included except the concrete foundation.
Buyers should independently confirm present operating condition, included inventory, installation requirements, dimensions, and component specifications during an in-person inspection.

Where Quality Meets Integrity
WEBSITE DESCRIPTION
A major price reduction has just been made on this complete circular sawmill and planer package for sale in Barwick, Ontario. Previously offered at $105,000 USD, the seller has reduced the asking price to $94,999 USD OBO and is encouraging serious buyers to make a reasonable offer.
This is far more than a standalone circular sawmill. The package represents a broad lumber-production operation that includes the 48-inch Simonds circular mill, hydraulic carriage, four-head planer, Perkins diesel line-shaft power unit, Cat 248D skid steer, sharpening equipment, specialty planer heads and knives, conveyors, hydraulic equipment, blower and dust-handling components, tools, and numerous supporting parts and accessories.
The seller is finished with this operation and wants to move the equipment.
The preferred sale remains the entire package to one buyer. The seller does not want to spend an extended period selling individual components one piece at a time. However, should the complete package not sell together, the seller may consider separating equipment only after the circular sawmill has sold first.
With the asking price now reduced to $94,999 OBO, qualified buyers are encouraged to inspect the package and submit a serious offer.
Complete Circular Sawmill System
At the center of the operation is a seller-described circular sawmill equipped with a 48-inch Simonds saw blade using Simolock-style shanks and carbide bits.
The mill includes a 12-foot hydraulic carriage with an onboard hydraulic log turner. Hydraulic headblocks and an adjustable carriage-feed system provide controlled movement through the cutting process, while fast reverse capability helps bring the carriage back efficiently for the next cut.
Seller-provided mill equipment includes:
- 48-inch Simonds circular saw blade
- Carbide bits
- Simolock-style shanks
- 12-foot carriage
- Hydraulic carriage drive
- Onboard hydraulic log turner
- Hydraulic headblocks
- Adjustable forward carriage speed
- Fast carriage reverse
- Steel I-beam log deck
- 14-inch vertical edger
- Hydraulic edger adjustment
- Outfeed conveyor
- Conveyor drums and belting
- Diamond-wheel saw-bit sharpener
- Approximately 1,000-pound flywheel
The seller reports that the bearings in the husk and line shaft are quality components with fewer than approximately 250 operating hours.
For a buyer looking to establish or expand a traditional circular-sawmill operation, the package combines primary log processing with many of the supporting components normally purchased separately.
Four-Head Planer Adds Finished-Lumber Capability
A major part of the value in this package is the included 8-by-12-inch, four-head, two-speed planer.
Rather than being limited to rough-sawn lumber production, this setup gives the next operator the ability to produce a broad range of finished and specialty lumber profiles.
The package includes numerous planer knives, heads, gibs, sharpening equipment, and specialty cutting profiles.
The seller reports that two sets of many of the planer knives are included. Many of the knives have a contoured back designed to allow sharpening using a flat-knife sharpening system.
The top and bottom planer heads were upgraded from five-grip heads to 10-inch gib-style heads.
According to the seller, these heads use commonly obtainable approximately 5/32-inch by 10-inch knives, which may help simplify replacement and sharpening compared with more specialized tooling.
Included or seller-reported profile capabilities include:
- Log siding
- Cove siding
- Shiplap
- Tongue-and-groove lumber
- Hardwood flooring
- Flooring relief cutter
- Eased-edge decking
- 1½-inch tongue-and-groove material
- Specialty stack-wall timber profiles
- Custom 4-by-4 double tongue-and-groove timbers
The seller reports that the custom 4-by-4 stack-wall knives were specifically designed for producing double tongue-and-groove stack-wall timbers and are manufactured from AR400 steel.
That variety may make this package especially attractive to custom lumber producers who want to sell higher-value finished products rather than only rough-cut material.
Sharpening Equipment Included
Maintaining blades and planer knives is an important part of running a lumber operation, and this package includes several pieces of sharpening equipment.
Included sharpening and tooling equipment reportedly consists of:
- Automatic electric flat-knife sharpener
- Integrated water tank
- Cooling pump
- Electric L-knife sharpener
- Diamond-wheel circular-saw bit sharpener
- Cordless-drill-powered bit-sharpening setup
- Multiple planer knife sets
- Extra planer heads
- Extra gibs
- Additional cutting tools
- Related sharpening accessories
Having this equipment onsite may allow a future operator to complete more routine knife and bit maintenance internally rather than sending every cutting tool to an outside sharpening service.
Perkins Diesel Line-Shaft Power System
The mill and associated equipment operate through a line-shaft arrangement powered by a Perkins 1004 Series diesel engine.
The line shaft was built with removable couplings, which may simplify maintenance, service access, future modifications, or the addition of compatible equipment.
The Perkins engine is reported to have a nearly new gear-reduction starter.
Included power and support components include:
- Perkins 1004 Series diesel engine
- Nearly new gear-reduction starter
- Complete line-shaft system
- Removable shaft couplings
- Hydraulic pump
- Hydraulic lines
- Approximately 20-gallon hydraulic-oil tank
- Air compressor
- Lumber-banding equipment
The exact Perkins engine variant, serial number, horsepower rating, and operating hours have not been supplied and should be verified by the buyer.
The seller also discloses that the included air compressor requires a high-pressure shutoff in order to function as intended with the line-shaft arrangement.
Hydraulic Material Handling
Several of the mill's primary functions are hydraulically operated.
Seller-provided hydraulic features include:
- Hydraulic carriage drive
- Hydraulic log turner
- Hydraulic headblocks
- Hydraulic vertical-edger adjustment
- Hydraulic pump
- Hydraulic lines
- Approximately 20-gallon hydraulic reservoir
These hydraulic functions support log positioning, carriage movement, cutting adjustments, and overall material control around the mill.
Exact hydraulic pressures, pump flow ratings, and component specifications were not supplied.
Cat 248D Skid Steer Included
The complete package also includes a Caterpillar Cat 248D skid steer loader.
The seller reports that the machine works well and considers it an important part of the lumber operation.
Included attachments are:
- General-purpose bucket
- Pallet forks
Within a sawmill environment, the skid steer may be used for jobs such as:
- Moving logs
- Handling finished lumber
- Moving pallets
- Cleaning around the mill
- Handling waste material
- Loading or unloading components
- Moving supplies
- Assisting with dismantling and relocation
The exact year, operating hours, serial number, tire condition, cab configuration, hydraulic configuration, and other machine-specific information were not provided.
Buyers should verify the exact configuration from the machine identification plate during inspection.
Dust Handling and Material Movement Equipment
The package includes a 12-inch blower, piping, extra ductwork, conveying components, and other material-handling equipment.
Included components reportedly include:
- 12-inch blower
- Blower piping
- Additional duct piping
- Outfeed conveyor
- Conveyor drums
- Conveyor belting
- No. 80 roller chain
- Components suitable for completing or constructing a sawdust-removal web
The outfeed conveyor is not presently connected to power, but the seller states that the drums and belting are included.
The exact blower motor horsepower, voltage, phase, airflow, and RPM were not provided.
Extensive Tools and Supporting Equipment
The package includes considerably more than the primary mill and planer.
Seller-provided tools and supporting equipment include:
- Quality metal toolbox
- Wooden work surface on toolbox
- Wrench set
- ¼-inch drive socket set
- ⅜-inch drive socket set
- ½-inch drive socket set
- Lumber moisture tester
- Electronic battery-operated tachometer
- Extra planer heads
- Extra planer gibs
- Extra planer knives
- Smaller pulley intended to increase planer speed
- Additional ductwork
- Extra No. 80 roller chain
- Assorted operating parts
- Additional related accessories
For a buyer establishing a new operation, the quantity of supporting equipment included may reduce the number of smaller tools and components that need to be sourced separately after the main machinery arrives.
MAJOR ADVANTAGE — FREE DELIVERY WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 1,200 MILES
Transportation is one of the biggest considerations when purchasing an operation of this size.
The seller is offering FREE DELIVERY within approximately 1,200 miles or 2,000 kilometers, provided the buyer assists with dismantling and loading the equipment.
This could represent substantial additional value.
Relocating a complete sawmill and planer operation can otherwise involve multiple truckloads, loading equipment, dismantling labor, freight coordination, permits, border paperwork, and considerable transportation expense.
Final delivery arrangements must be discussed and agreed upon prior to purchase.
Buyers should confirm:
- Whether their destination falls within the delivery radius
- Number of expected loads
- Type of trailers or trucks required
- Dismantling responsibilities
- Buyer labor requirements
- Loading-equipment requirements
- Delivery timing
- Unloading responsibilities
- Oversize or overweight permit requirements
- Border and customs documentation
- Import requirements
- Insurance requirements
- Whether every included component is covered by the delivery arrangement
For locations outside the seller's delivery area, Trustworthy Equipment LLC may also help connect buyers with independent transportation resources.
Everything Except the Concrete
The seller describes this as essentially a complete working lumber-production setup.
In his words, the buyer is getting nearly everything associated with the operation except the concrete it sits on.
That makes the package worth considering for:
- Existing sawmills expanding production
- New sawmill businesses
- Custom lumber manufacturers
- Timber operations
- Log-home material manufacturers
- Stack-wall timber producers
- Siding manufacturers
- Flooring manufacturers
- Agricultural lumber businesses
- Family-operated sawmills
- Plain-community businesses
- Forestry operations
- Investors establishing a lumber-processing facility
Buyers should remember that dismantling, foundations, electrical requirements, mechanical installation, guarding, site layout, permits, and safety requirements can vary significantly between locations.
A qualified buyer should inspect the system and develop an appropriate relocation and installation plan.
PRICE REDUCED — $94,999 USD OBO
The seller has made a significant move on the price.
Previous Asking Price: $105,000 USD
New Asking Price: $94,999 USD OBO
That represents a reduction of more than $10,000.
The seller is finished with the operation, wants the equipment moved, and is encouraging qualified buyers to make a reasonable offer.
The complete-package buyer remains the seller's priority.
The seller does not currently want to separate individual knives, tools, sharpeners, planer components, the skid steer, and other equipment into numerous individual sales.
If the complete package does not sell together, the seller may consider individual equipment sales later, but the circular sawmill must sell first before the remaining major components will be considered individually.
Serious buyers interested in the package should contact Trustworthy Equipment LLC for current availability, additional information, inspection coordination, delivery questions, or to submit an offer.
Specifications are believed to be accurate but are not guaranteed and may vary by unit. Buyers should independently verify all specifications, features, and condition prior to purchase.
The following specifications combine seller-provided information with general information where an exact configuration could not be confirmed. Equipment may vary by serial number, production year, options, modifications, attachments, and configuration. Buyers should independently verify every specification important to their purchase.
