Recently installed a 2 pulley counterweight for the trapdoor on an L6 (16' x16') 62-67' high tower for the GF, who's been 32 Summers on manning several different ones.. The FMO was happy & likely cause he didn't have to do it. *grin* Get Caught up would love to put a 2-3 story on my own place...

Rather than the converter types i went with the 20hp model .... power company wanted $10K a mile to add a wire to upgrade the service to 3 phase over a decade ago. https://www.phasetechnologies.com/products/phase-perfect

10 - 12 inch on the small end on the littlest ones Smaller, one can waste around with higher overhead and recover a few Bd. feet / Customer wise any under 10" & these are by an hourly rate / firewood mostly for myself unless little taper w/ tighter growth rings. (Center pith beams/posts, etc.)...

With the perimeters stated, have you toyed around the option of setting up a Gantry crane to feed / lift logs onto the mill and cut lumber back onto a trailer. Assuming still using the neighbors equipment for placement. What i use a Case 580K backhoe rated just under 5200 lbs on the 4 In 1...

My 2 cents likely 2 bits now days in extending the service life of any steel tape even new out of the wrapper is to run them out and apply an automotive car wax Turtle Hard Shell is a favorite. Even new will slick & speed them up, then reapply as needed. In a welding / fabricating environment...

Used toothbrush works for me if needed & easier to carry. Milling.. I do keep a portable (5/7 gal.)air tank handy to blow the whole saw & air filter out, on break when it’s cooled off. A 12V compressor to recharge the tank when away from the shop, as well as a 400 watt inverter to power a 120...

Different grinder, a note that I keep close to mine rather than soiling the manual... Hopefully this may work on yours, till you get another reply..... the 2/3 is cutter height

Enough in a portable tank like this to blow a saw off 2-3 times, & if more is needed in the field 12v air compressors aren’t that expensive.

Bar condition / ??? Wear...

A source I use with outstanding customer Service.

Seemly about the only perspective left might be to Rethink on these wide slabs is the technique of how the wedges are applied.... (& Center kerf support in narrower thickness..) Too much lift may allow the natural belly in the bar to track that way....

Hopefully BobL will chime in & perhaps provide a link on this. Here’s something in theory only as a 5’ bar has covered my needs / uses so far. A holder to screw into the end of the log holding a stick of wax on the leading edge underneath of the bar with a star knob to adjust it upward to take...

This question placed in a poll format Reads akin to a poll of asking in the movie Dumb & Dumber Who was the better actor? OMG

Gas to electric 3 to 1 10 HP electric / 30 HP gas That’d put you into the Lucas 8-30 range Likely your answers to hub / blade sources etc... One will need to match rpm’s to the blade Same w/ the fpm on the slabber .......... Decaded slabber is the only way to go, I’ve got the slabbing...
