As Sunfish said, heavier flywheels and ram/rack configuration are the main differences. I opted for the HD simply because I didn't want to kick myself later down the road because of not getting it and it wasn't that much more in the whole scheme of things.

How much is the HD version?

If I remember right the HD is around $2800 & the J is around $2500. Not much difference in the big picture. But in most cases the HD isn't needed... The prices are on the SS site, but it's been awhile since I looked.

The photo Hedge posted shows the log bucking trailer with 2 splitters in place. His son is the loader/unloader in the picture. The aluminum walk board has been replaced with 2 - 7' long storage boxes. This is where the saw operator(s) cut at. Literally no bending required.
Here is a different view before the center 2 supports were removed. A loader is used to place logs on top. Saw operator(s) stand on the uphill side of the expanded metal ramp to buck the logs into rounds. The tongue is removable so up to 3 splitters can be stationed around it comfortably. The idea is to limit the amount of bending / lifting required to cut & split rounds. The big rounds can just be rolled onto the log lifts without having to be picked up.
I plan to bring it to the Iowa GTG then leave it at Sam-tip's for use at the Waukee Charity Cut, May 17th.

The bucking trailer worked surprisingly well! No bending over or working on the ground for both chainsawing or splitting.
More pictures of this event if you care to share.
This is very cool stuff...
instead of some threads that have turned to slamming others and having to be right, verses stating an opinion, respecting others, and keeping an open mind. More pictures please...
and thanks for the ones posted. Crane
