Very best regards,  Darold Harper

NOTE: Darold owned & operated Cedar Springs Tractor for over 25 years. After selling the dealership, he spent the next 30 years operating the portable sawmill and cutting hundreds of thousands of board feet of lumber for various clients, even taking the sawmill to on-site locations to do custom cutting. He also worked the family farm those years raising cash crops & beef. All 4 Ford tractors are running as they should and the Ford F-350 is in nice condition, all kept in the barn. The sawmill will be operating the day of the auction. Darold stated “I have a few more logs to saw before the mill is sold!” Many  items from past 3 generations.

For your convenience we will have off street parking, lunch trailer, wash-up station and port-a-jons.
