Thanks everyone for sharing in my excitement! I sawed my first log on it today and man am I ever pleased! Its just built so much more rigid feeling compared to the 15. Also the log deck package is an absolute back saver! I got it home, sawed a 22" pine log and it turned it with ease! Exactly what I was needing. I love how the power feed system is chain driven and not rope like the lt15. It honestly felt like a completely different beast in a sense. I feel as if this was a very good idea!  8)

So as you guys know it's a lot higher up then how I had my 15 set up. So I did some work on my log deck today getting it ready for a big load of tie logs coming in tomorrow. Pics to follow! Stay tuned!

I really like what you've done there. It gives me some ideas for how I am going to set up my operation. When I get everything moving....

Thanks

Since you have all those lights on I assume you have been burning the midnite oil to get it done.  As always, you impress me with your willingness to put the action behind the thought.

looks great food for thought though take a sawzaw or cutting torch to that 6in of redee rod or carriage bolts that are sticking out (personal experience) I cut several jean pants and gashed my leg on mine....

Oh yeah! I would be the one to get hung on it!

Cut a few ties and some 5/4 white oak flooring. Found a flooring mill to buy my side cuts! Excited!!

[Wallee]

Also lucked up on several really nice cherry logs on one of my logging jobs. The wife has already claimed theses first few boards as her new dining table  ;D

[WDH]

I believe that to be red oak, not cherry  .

Hey Wallee,
That's some real nice sawing and nice material there. I too think that may be RO.
The tie on top of the stack looks like you sawed right through the heart on it. Will your tie buyer take that? Mine might reject it. That means he would pay $4 instead of $28.75. I don't know what the other side looks like but the lumber would have probably been better from the other side. I am guessing you may have made 2 ties from the same log? I have given up on doing that unless it is a real rough big log. I don't get a lot of them.
Has the price you get for ties changed?
What's up with that tie with the pith right at the top for the whole length?
