I've had the model 8 for about 8 years or so. Awesome machine. Especially when coupled with the slabber.
Always wondered what the difference is. I assumed its just the gearing, but that doesn't explain the price difference. You know the hp of your engine?

I have the 10 with slabbing attachment but I'd like to know how much better the dedicated slabber is. They are strong money for sure

Ah that is quite a bit extra capacity then. Nah I have the normal rails and I have a rhino roof rack that they sit on top of. A bit of overhang at each end as they are bloody long

I've got a 10/30 and it just fits in my lwb transporter with rails on the roof but its tight. I used to have it in trailer but I hated seeing it bounce about on potholed roads. Plus I can carry mill and tow avant now!

I've had this discussion before and got nowhere. I don't understand how it can be better. It can't cut faster on big logs because the speed is set by how fast you can eject the sawdust. The finish I get with my slabber is great ah can't see that being improved.

The only advantage i see is that if I had one I could have both saws on the rails at the same time so I could swab between slabs and dimensional much quicker at a whim.

 

How do you find making a 10" vertical cut through something like slightly knotty oak.?

Also where are you based?

What use do you have in mind for the alder, if you don't mind my asking? I have a couple of fair-sized ones in my inbox.
