Default Re: pto powered bandsaw ?

YouTube - Hull-Oakes Lumber

here is an industrial band saw: It takes 5 hp to bend that super sized band over the pulleys alone, before it even touches wood !!

This would be the setup i'd need to make use of 50 PTO hp... Oh no, i'd have 40 hp because the 50 hp tractor is needed to load logs with the loader...
