Well, thought I'd post a quick first impression that will surprise no one. Man I love this beast. I dropped a big SYP (about 36" dia at base) and spent a couple of days milling it. What a great saw. Stepping up from my LT35 HDD, I didn't expect as much "up". So much faster, down the track and back. I really have to watch and stay in tune with the machine.

Is there any disconnect scheme to help reduce parasitic load to help ease starting? Manuals were ordered but have not arrived yet.Read More

I'm going to be milling some redwood logs that are 5-6' in diameter so I need to quarter some of the logs or square the edges in order to fit on the norwood sawmill. I'd like to cut into logs halfway and drive wedges to split in half. Also in the future I plan on doing some chainsaw milling...
