A lot of fun and a lot of "friends" will suddenly appear, which is good.
I don,t have the brand name but locally the tractor driven portables are common. Any discussion forum about mills/sawing etc should link up to various web sites by the builders.Maybe try www.logstolumber.com they might be on the web[local dealer] or start a path to search by.
I would like to suggest one thing: Install a pull cord/emergency stop, the length of the mill. Be it ignition circuit or fuel pump,etc that is available from any position you may be operating the mill from. Did not enjoy responding to a limb loss, because it was normal to walk out to the tractor to shut down, didn't help when he tripped/fell on the arbour shaft, going out for the lunch shutdown.
As i was told one time: Don't be scared of it but be blankly blank sure you respect it
