Lumbermens delivered and I am happy with my sawmill !
I called Mark Laxton after I saw a Helle Sawmill listed by him on Craigslist. We had a couple conversations that first day. I never worked with him before and hadn't bought through Lumbermens prior. He got all the information I asked for very quickly. In the midst of travelling to the Oregon Loggers Conference he called every time he landed to follow up. We negotiated an agreeable price and he sent me a Bill of Sale. I looked into him and his company, found his website, scrolled through the digital copy of the magazine on the homepage. Found a picture of him and the listing of the sawmill in the magazine. I told him I was going to take a risk on him and put my trust into him! Lumbermens and Mark delivered and I am happy with my sawmill

Entire Team from Lumbermens came together to find us an even better Loader!
I developed a relationship with Mark Laxton from Lumbermens over a 3 month period. I called him looking at a Prentice 384 Log Loader. That one kept having issues so, instead of trying to push it on me he searched and searched. When we thought we found one the seller sold it out from under us! That same weekend then entire Team from Lumbermens came together to find us an even better Loader! The exact kind I wanted!

I don’t look to buy or sell anything anymore, I just call Mark!
Mark Laxton has helped me find machines for the company I work for. We've developed a relationship over the last 4-5 months and I like his work ethic so much that I have him selling equipment for me! I usually sell my own but the way he works and takes care of as much as possible is well worth it to me! I don't look to buy or sell anything anymore, I just call Mark!!

Lumbermens helped me find the right machine
I called Mark Laxton after finding a 748G3 listing on Craigslist. He showed me the listing on Lumbermens website and had me set up to go look at the machine the same day! He helped me find financing even though I went with my own his guy was fast and had a good rate. The machine was a little more than the price range I was looking to be in but it was what I needed and could put to work immediately! Lumbermens and Mark helped me find the right machine, that was ready to go to work, not one that was ready to be worked on!

This all happened the week before and after Christmas!
I found one of Mark Laxton's sawmill listings on craigslist, after our first conversation he asked all the right questions to know exactly what I needed after showing me a couple different mills, the 3rd one he brought to me was exactly what I was looking for! He did everything from getting trucking lined up to finding the best way to get the mill to me and lining up help to do so. This all happened the week before and after Christmas! I now have the sawmill I replaced listed with Lumbermens through Mark!

The entire process took less than 72 hours!
I called Mark Laxton on a Thursday night after seeing a Mobile Dimensions sawmill for sale on Facebook. I had never dealt with Lumbermens before then. We agreed on price, lined up delivery, and finalized sale the next day. After I received my Bill of Sale from Lumbermens and had all of my questions answered I wired them payment and had my sawmill early afternoon that Saturday! The entire process took less than 72 hours! - Billy Dykes, Mobile Dimensions sawmill

Lumbermens had found me the exact machine I wanted!
Mark Laxton called me at a time when I was in need of a Cat Feller Buncher. I needed soon! Within 10 days Mark and the team at Lumbermens had found me the exact machine I wanted for the price I needed. Any and all hiccups that could come up during a loggers buying process were handled quickly and efficiently by Mark and Sam at Lumbermens and I had my Machine the Tuesday before Thanksgiving!

Listing I called was sold but Mark found me a better 440 the same week!
I was referred by my boss to Lumbermens and it was the easiest way to buy a skidder I've experienced! Mark took care of evening, from finding the right machine, to trucking, and sending Bill of Sale to my banker. All I had to do was answer his calls and sign the paper for the bank to write money! I've already told Mark to keep an eye out for my next machine and in confident he'll find me the right one!

Re sold without much effort on my part!
Last March I bought a complete Helle sawmill setup through Lumbermens and Mark Laxton. We'd been so busy all year we never even got it set up or put into operation. Mark knew this because of his follow up and kept pitches going on the sawmill. All I had to do was send him a couple new pictures and get him my wiring instructions. He took care of everything else while my company stayed busy making money!

Received the mill within 4 days !
I first contacted Austin Woods through a Craigslist ad he posted for a 2016 Woodmizer LT40. I was very interested in the mill, but at the time I was not familiar with him or Lumbermen’s. After speaking to Austin multiple times and talking to some references he gave me, I then felt comfortable enough to proceed with the process. Austin walked me through the process and helped me understand some of the differences in the Woodmizer models and answered all of the questions I had. Long story short I decided to buy the mill, the only challenge I had now was transporting it across international boarders from Canada to Idaho. Austin put me in touch with a trucking company and got all of the necessary paperwork needed to cross, I received the mill within 4 days and couldn’t have been happier. He even helped me sell my old sawmill afterwards which I thought would take forever. Very thankful for Austin and the honest hardworking people at Lumbermen’s.

Joe did everything for me! (Timberjack 380)
Joe took care of everything for me. All I did was texted him pictures, a video and told him what I wanted money-wise. He wired me my money fast, and buyer was happy. No issues or hiccups whatsoever. He's my guy when it comes to selling my machines!
