KiwiJake,

I sure can't compete in the my dog's bigger than
your dog contest but here's my LT15's worth but
I'm only doing this for a hobby. It's not the biggest
but it's all ORANGE.

Whitepe,
Why is your LT-15 so high off the ground?

[shinglemaker]

A Baker manual model 18.
Just hobbying it for now.
Making shingles mostly for my own use.

Just a little LT40HDD42 Super.  Use it mostly for custom sawing. 42HP Kubota Turbo Diesel

BBTom,

Looks like that should knock the dust out of those pesky logs pretty good!. :D

 SURE DO LIKE THEM ORANGE MACHINES. ;D

Kevin,

It's so high off of the ground because its sitting on
4 sections of two railroad ties cut in half.
And, the reason for that is so I don't have to bend
over so far (read bad back) to pick up the boards
once they have been sawed from the cant.  
When homo sapiens figured out they could walk
upright, our spinus erectus has never been the same.

Somewhere in one of these forum posts I read that
someone else recommended putting the LT15 up onto
something so you wouldn't have to bend over.

Here's another pic of a 22 inch , 10.5 foot black walnut that
I sawed this week.

Dear fellow ORANGEMEN,

I sure wish I could convince those folks at
Woodmizer to start putting YELLOW CAT engines
on their ORANGE sawmills.   :D :D

Man that YELLOW would sure look pretty with ORANGE.

Now think what this engine would do on a sawmill.
The bottom two-thirds of the engine is below the steel deck.

  Then we would have to shove a larger engine in my Dodge to pull it all around.  I have problems with the Weight Man now and here you are upping it for me. ;D
   Besides those 42 Kubota's are already orange at heart.
