well set up then, your going to find most of your stuff will be with the 22" bar, think about a 25" one, this would give you the best options, anything much bigger your going to have to think about inverting the mill on the log, or splitting it down( there is a weight limit on the arms). and the actual manual handling becomes a factor, trust me a 3 or 4 mtr log 24" in dia takes some rolling over, even with 2 cant levers!!!

folk are going to rave about the amount of waste your going to get with a 3/8 chain compared to a band, dont listen, if you've got your chain grind spot on, and get the cutting speed right, the timber comming of the logosol wont need planing, whereas every bit I've ever cut on a bandmill has needed at least one run through the planer, so it usually evens itself out, only thing with the3210 is fuel and oil use,( and get a set of gel palm gloves, they are really worth there weight in gold)

Yeah plenty of folks saying I should have bought a bandmill. Except they are a lot more money!

Hoping to give it a run today on some chestnut posts, I have heard that sharp rip chains give a good finish but didn't know it could be that good

I run both Woodland and Logosol.

Should I be honest, I think you get more out of the log from Logosol sawmil.
This as it is so much easier to adjust the height of the log on each side and maximize how you cut the log.

Well 3 years in, I finally unearthed the pallet and assembled the Farmers Mill, with the 390 saw, which while not fast is OK for my needs

I appreciate Agrimogs comment about the gel filled gloves btw!

I am cutting 12" to 15" Sitka Spuce, cut 2.1m long ( felled back in March btw)  @ a 1/2" thick,

for to use as weatherboarding, currently sitting stickered and stacked,

how long will it need to season?

The weatherboarding  will be solidly supported every 3', on reused 4" square posts.

Sawdust everywhere!
