Figured I would give someone on the forum first crack at this. Ripsaw set up for a Stihl powerhead, if you need one we can discuss the 036 Pro I have on there now. $800 plus shipping without the powerhead. I kept it real clean and comes with all of the bits, 2 sections of track, and some blades. This can ship UPS or Fedex ground in 2 boxes. Total weight is around 50-60 pounds. What it si and what it does:

What is the approx. cutting diameter of a tree that it can handle?
With your current set-up, how fast/slow would it cut say, pecan or white oak at maximum diameter?

Maximum cut is 14". I would recommend something a little bigger than my 036 to make that cut though. It was 2-3 times faster than a CSM when milling, but never really timed it. Biggest log I tackled was a 20" post oak. Turned it into a cant, but split the cant in 2 for easier cutting, better stability, and I did not need 14" wide lumber(or carrying 14" wide 6/4 wet oak that was 10' long up my pond dam). Replacement blades are about $15 and are similar to shop bandsaw blades.
