Title: lt 15 50 foot
Post by: Flintlock427 on June 25, 2018, 11:51:07 AM
well woodmizer put there bed sections on sell I  could not resist, when I get the lt 15 set up I will be able to cut 50 foot logs even if I never cut one and they  throwed in a few cant hook and log wedges .

The problem is that if you have a 50 foot log, the butt is likely too fat to mill on the LT15.  It would take a lot of trimming with a chainsaw.

that has been thought of ,also but most likely 20 foot and stack on the unused part are use my other lt15 head and put two head on the long frame one for log and one for flitches.

Cut one while someone unloads the other one. That could be really nice.

kb5brz (http://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=37826)        I drove by your house yesterday I think (two story with brown siding ?) on my way home from work would it be ok to stop in and say hello and see your set up. anthony
