I did not order the "fine adjust" outriggers. Is this gonna cause an uproar?  :D :D :D

I'd just like jacks that never stuck up above the bed at any time so that I wouldn't have to dig holes in frozen ground to avoid sawing their silly little tops off. If FAO's never stick up above the bed, I want them, otherwise they wouldn't be worth the extra cost to me.



The FAO's dont stick above the bed.  But they have too much give to them and you constantly have to tighten them unless you order the locke for them (should be standard).  Plus, the far FAO at the tail of the mill will still stick above the bed and if you have the blade in line with it and slam into the back stop or have the mill cruising while you're stacking lumber you'll cut into it, done it before.
Whatever Turbo Fang blades you're running need braces.  :o :o

Thanks for the breakdown on the accuset 4x4, I've been considering upgrading later this year and your explanation has me leaning that way. I have a cheat sheet laminated for the third face so I can come out even on dimensional lumber, but I have to rely on my math if the customer requested a variety out of a cant. The cheat sheet works pretty good except for that 1 typo.....

Maybe you should request a coffee cup instead of a hat?

I'll be pressuring washing my mill before long before trading it in.
I had Purple Power in mind tp spray it with before washing.

Some say yes some say no.....what works best?

I say yes to Purple Power, full strength.  It will also remove Love Bugs, etc. from your vehicle without harming the paint or decals.

Not made from Purple Drank, but still good.   :)

purple power is good stuff, we use it on the helicopters, and it removes grease and turbine soot real well, and is not hard on paint, nor is it real corrosive to bare metal bits. I should also add Purple power and super clean are almost exactly the same, except purple power is less $$, more savings sos you can afford to put holes in your new hat so's it will fit the goat proper! ;D

Just don't get confused and pressure wash with Purple Drank full strength and drink the Purple Power.  :D

It would be a cold day before I pressure washed the Kohler.  Clean up everything else, leave it dirty, and forlorn.  ;D. I might even give it a kick in the exhaust pipe with my boot when the new mill showed up. 8)

I did do this......I called Indy this afternoon and ordered the packet with brand new safety stickers in it.
So when I get her clean, I'll remove the old safety sticker ya can't read replace them with brand new ones.  :)

POSTONLT40HD, I haven't been on the forum in a little while, so I am just reading about your exciting new purchase. 

CONGRATS!  My buddy got the exact same mill less than a year ago and it has the new "emissions" diesel.  It has a screen that shows all kinds of cool information about the engine, and the controls are a little different.  I ran it long enough to cut one log and it seems like the blade engage and guide arm switch are in different places than on my LT40.  It was hard for me to get used to.

I am sure you develop new muscle memory shortly with the new mill!

It's all been fixed. Sawing everyday unless it's too cold.

I did not know this but I like it! I made a comment in another post that i would like to have something like a dashboard to give the sawyer information about the engine. This sounds like a good thing. thanks for the info.

Curious did you trade yours in outright, or taking it in on consignment, or something of the sort?

There's a bunch of different things the screen shows, these are the only two pics I have when I picked the new mill up in June. There's engine rpms, %engine load, exhaust temp, intake air temp, fuel temp, fuel pressure, engine hrs, voltage, etc etc. within each diagnostic you can go in and check out further if there is an issue. Just need to "play" with it when you get it. It's pretty neat, I always like to check the barometric pressure and adjust my sawing accordingly. It's a wonder anyone can saw without one equipped to their mill. 

And yes, the toggle switch for auto clutch is moved to the top right. It will take a few hours to rellearn where it's at. You'll keep hitting the blade guide arm toggle switch, which thankfully operates left to right so you won't engage it by accident.

Good pics Adam. Thanks for taking the time to post them.
Looks like fun.  8)
Can't wait!

It does look like your control station is stationary.....I may be wrong.
I'm getting the walk behind.

Yes I upgraded to the remote station with accuset. I imagine the walk along with this engine would still have the control screen.
