My new log diameter limit is 18" for my LT 10.  The Woodmizer claim that the LT10 can handle 24" logs is for somebody who has lots more help than me and lives in a cooler climate.

Haha. I hear ya. The max on my LT-15 is 28 inches. I may have gotten a little bit ambitious with my last delivery and had him include a 30 inch log thinking I could just trim it up a little bit with a chainsaw to "make it fit". Not really looking forward to turning that cant after playing around with a few 24 inch logs. We'll see.

There's something about a saw blade making its way through a piece of wood.

Won't be long that little fellow in your member photo will be rolling 24" logs up on the bed for Papa. ;)

How is your 10 treating you?

Daddy always told me not to let my crocodile mouth get my hummingbird azz in a jam.. Guess I should have listened better...


 

It took me and the customer 2 hours to get this 1,500lb cherry log in position for the opening cut..........

JPell, I hope you got some help with turning those cants.  I use a winch anchored to a pine to help me.  Sawing those capacity logs can be a challenge.

DGDrls,

DGDrls,  I probably be at the old folks home by the time that boy is big enough to do any milling.   The 10 works just fine.  It keeps me busy and off the street.

Wise men know the limit of their equipment. ;D
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.
