Do you LT28 owners have problems turning large, long logs on your mills? How have you adapted?

I believe the LT28 and the LT40 manual mill use the same log deck package. I managed to winch a 4000 pound Ponderosa Pine log onto my mill -- 33" in diameter, 20'-7" long. The winch powered turner was a little slow but didn't have much problem turning the log. A little soapy water thrown onto the bed rails helps a lot.
