The seller reports that the machine needs rebuilding, so this is best suited for an established sawmill, pallet operation, industrial wood processor, or machinery rebuilder capable of completing the required work.
Serious buyers are encouraged to make an offer.
Available in Reedsville, Wisconsin, this Brewco 5-head resaw is now offered at $25,999 OBO after another major price reduction. Originally priced at $30,000, then reduced to $27,999, the seller has now lowered the asking price another $2,000, bringing the total reduction to $4,001.
The seller says the machine must sell, wants it moved, and is encouraging serious buyers to make an offer.
This is an older heavy-duty horizontal band resaw configured with five cutting heads, five individual 20 HP electric motors, 36-inch band wheels, hydraulic belt feed, hydraulic hold-down components, variable feed speed, hydraulic head-spacing adjustment, and an included hydraulic power pack.
The seller has also been direct about its condition: the machine needs to be rebuilt. It is not being represented as production-ready equipment. Instead, this is an industrial resaw platform for a sawmill, pallet plant, lumber-remanufacturing business, machinery rebuilder, or wood-products operation capable of completing the required mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, control, and safety work.
Brewco 5-Head Resaw — Now $25,999 OBO
The pricing history now stands at:

Original asking price: $30,000

Previous asking price: $27,999 OBO

Current asking price: $25,999 OBO

Latest reduction: $2,000

Total reduction: $4,001

The seller is motivated to get this machine sold and is open to serious offers.
For a buyer specifically searching for a used Brewco resaw, multi-head resaw platform, or industrial pallet mill equipment, this latest price adjustment creates an opportunity to acquire a substantial five-head machine for rebuilding rather than starting with a completely new processing line.
The condition disclosure remains important: this machine needs rebuilding, and buyers should base their purchase decision on an independent inspection and their own evaluation of the work required.
Five-Head Production Configuration
The machine is configured with five horizontal band-saw heads, allowing multiple cuts to be made as material travels through the system.
Each head reportedly has its own 20 HP electric motor, providing approximately 100 combined saw-head horsepower across the five-head arrangement.
For the right operation, a multi-head setup can reduce repeated passes compared with a single-head resaw because several cuts can potentially be made during one trip through the machine, depending on blade spacing, material dimensions, desired finished sizes, feed speed, and the rebuilt configuration.
Potential applications may include:

Pallet deck boards
Pallet stringers
Cant breakdown
Fence boards
Dunnage
Crating lumber
Hardwood lumber
Softwood lumber
Dimensional wood products
Lumber recovery
Reclaimed-lumber processing
Secondary lumber manufacturing
Pallet and packaging material

The seller reports a maximum cutting width of approximately 7 inches and maximum cutting height of approximately 14 inches.
Reported material thickness capability ranges from approximately 7/16 inch minimum to 6 inches maximum.
Because the exact production year and original Brewco model designation have not been confirmed, buyers should verify these capacities against the physical machine before planning production around them.
Five Individual 20 HP Electric Motors
Each of the five cutting heads is reportedly powered by an individual 20 HP electric motor.
Seller-provided electrical information includes:

Five electric saw-head motors
20 HP per cutting head
Approximately 100 HP combined saw-head power
460 volts
Three-phase electrical service
60 Hz
Approximately 1,750 RPM

The motor starters and main control panel are not included.
The electrical disconnect is also not included, and a complete emergency-stop and safety-interlock system has not been confirmed.
Any buyer rebuilding this sawmill resaw for sale should expect to have its electrical system evaluated and properly engineered for the installation by qualified personnel before operation.
Heavy-Duty Band-Saw Components
Seller-reported saw-head equipment includes:

Five horizontal cutting heads
Five sets of approximately 36-inch band wheels
Approximately 1½-inch wheel-face width
Approximately 1¼-inch-wide bands
Approximately 15-foot, 6-inch blade length
Six blades reportedly included
Air blade tensioning
Sandwich-style blade guides
Hydraulic head-spacing adjustment

Brewco continues to manufacture multi-head resaw systems today. For general manufacturer context, Brewco's current B-2400 literature shows configurations ranging from one to six heads and uses features such as electric head motors, hydraulic variable-speed feed, and air blade tensioning. That current product should not be assumed to have the same dimensions or specifications as this older machine, but it provides useful background on Brewco's multi-head resaw design approach.
Brewco B-2400 Big Band Resaw information
Hydraulic Belt Feed and Hold-Down System
Material is reportedly carried through the machine by a hydraulic belt-feed system.
The configuration also includes:

Hydraulic feed drive
Variable feed speed
Hydraulic hold-down components
Hydraulic head-spacing adjustment

No infeed conveyor, outfeed conveyor, or return system is included.
For an operation rebuilding the machine into an existing production line, those missing material-handling components should be considered when planning the final installation.
Prospective buyers should inspect the belt, feed-drive components, bearings, rollers, hydraulic motors, cylinders, adjustment mechanisms, and related assemblies to determine what can be reused and what requires repair or replacement.
Hydraulic Power Pack Included
A hydraulic power pack is included with the machine.
The seller reports approximately 15 GPM hydraulic pump flow.
The hydraulic equipment appears intended to support systems such as feed movement, hold-down operation, and head adjustment, although buyers should verify the complete hydraulic circuit during inspection.
The condition of the pump, reservoir, valves, hoses, fittings, hydraulic motors, and cylinders should be included in the buyer's rebuild evaluation.
Machine Needs Rebuilding
The seller specifically reports that this Brewco resaw needs to be rebuilt.
That disclosure is important because this unit should not be confused with a currently operating, turnkey resaw.
No recent complete rebuild, electrical modernization, hydraulic overhaul, motor replacement, bearing replacement, or control-system modernization has been reported.
A recent operating demonstration has also not been provided.
A prospective buyer should expect to evaluate areas including:

Band wheels
Wheel bearings
Shafts
Saw-head frames
Blade guides
Blade-tensioning equipment
Electric motors
Feed belt
Feed-drive components
Hydraulic power unit
Hydraulic motors
Cylinders
Hydraulic hoses and valves
Head-spacing mechanisms
Structural welds and frame condition
Guards
Wiring
Motor starters
Main controls
Emergency stops
Electrical disconnect
Safety interlocks

The value proposition is therefore the five-head industrial platform, motors, hydraulic equipment, and major machine components included at the newly reduced $25,999 OBO price.
Size, Rigging and Transportation
Seller-reported overall dimensions are approximately:

Length: 29 feet

Width: 104 inches

Height: 77 inches

Estimated weight: 14,000 pounds

Shipping configuration: One section

The machine is located in Reedsville, Wisconsin.
Because of its approximately 29-foot length and estimated 14,000-pound weight, buyers should verify loading access, lifting equipment, rigging requirements, trailer selection, width restrictions, loading assistance, and actual transportation dimensions before scheduling removal.
Nationwide transportation assistance may be available through independent transportation providers.
Built for an Industrial Wood-Processing Buyer
This machine is best suited for an established operation or experienced machinery buyer rather than someone looking for a plug-and-play saw.
Potential buyers may include:

Sawmills
Pallet manufacturers
Lumber-remanufacturing businesses
Hardwood mills
Softwood mills
Industrial wood-products companies
Machinery rebuilders
Custom sawmill-line builders
Operations expanding secondary lumber processing
Buyers capable of rebuilding industrial sawmill equipment
