Marty would not steer you wrong. You will be VERY happy with that set up.

I would get the Yarnmar but I'm trying to keep cost down.
I think the gas might be quieter than the yarnmar.
I get along well with my neighbors and my dog makes enough noise chasing the bobcats

That mill will do wonders for you and you won't even think of a diesel when you are running it. Talk to @Lawg Dawg I think he has the same one and that man puts out some wood!

I was hoping that you would/could add Command Control.  You now have it optioned out perfectly.  thumbs-up

I might not be able to get the lt40
It might have to be the lt35 ☹
The jump in money maybe a deal breaker

It will be a little slower, but nothing wrong with a 35. Mine built my business to the point I had to upgrade. It will serve you well.

If math is not a strength, there is an app that you might find helpful for calculating starting heights and other mill related things.

Saw Calc Pro (there is also a free version).  Both US and Metric measurements, figures starting heights, board footage, log volume.  Allows multiple kerfs, variable dog board heights, etc.  Distributed by MicaPeak Solutions
07 TK B-20, Custom log arch, 20' trailer w/log loading arch, F350 flatbed dually dump.  Piggy-back forklift.  LS tractor w/FEL, Bobcat S250 w/grapple, Stihl 025C 16", Husky 372XP 24/30" bars, Grizzly 20" planer, Nyle L200M DH kiln.
If you call and my wife says, "He's sawin logs", I ain't snoring.

Run the bandwheels off the 35, if everything goes really well maybe you can step right into an LT70 next time like Southside did. The 40 is a great machine, but the 35 and 70 are way better to change blades on. If you never had to experience wrestling a 1.5" blade on an LT40, that wouldn't be a bad thing😊

LT40 is a great mill.  
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Be smarter than the sawdust
