Roller table setup

[KWood255]

Hi all, I have setup my LT70 under a 24x40 shelter, with 16' lean-to sides coming for 3 sides in the spring for additional room. The way I have the shack setup worked perfect for my LT40, but I find the board drag back isn't being utilized when cutting anything over 8'. Most commonly I am sawing 16' material. 

I have acquired a couple heavy duty 9' roller tables, but I have yet to see a similar setup to mine where the roller tables are used. For those of you who use them, would you be willing to either post or send me a couple pictures? Thanks.

@YellowHammer and @customsawyer both have those setups.  maybe you tube and or they can reply.

@Southside  also has rollers for sorting flitches to the edger, boards to be stacked and slabs to waste and uses the board return.  

@YellowHammer has YouTube videos that show his roller tables.   Albeit he doesn't seem to cut a lot of longer material.

Why isn't your dragback being used on long boards?  The heavier and longer the board, the more useful it is.  For us, one table is angled down where my slabs and flitches come back and they will roll down to me loader forks, virtually hands free.  The other is on the backside of the outfield table and the boards transition right to it with the dragback, then to a pallet. 

The key to using tables and rollers and conveyors and stuff is to not have them stretch the whole operation out linearly, but too get it done more hands free with less walking.

Thanks YH. The way my shelter is designed/built and where I set my slabs to pick up with the tractor has been problematic with anything beyond 12'. Hopefully when I get the rollers setup I can make a few amendments to make things more efficient.
