We have a Wood Miser. But in addition to the bandsaw mill you will need a bobcat to lift the logs onto the mill. There are some mills that are ground level but you have to gorilla the log onto the rails, you have to manually turn the log. With the woodmizer it will turn the logs for you (depending on model, i think). Save your money up and get a good brand that will do alot of the work for you because i promise it will save to lots of pain and aggrivation.
There is also a bit of science to cutting logs that you should study up on. See if there is any woodworking shows coming to your area so you can go see one in action, or a dealer closeby.
There is definitely something special about cutting into a log and discovering some beautiful grain...good luck
