   I've been looking at the new head set-up for my mill.  Has some interesting changes. 
Haven't seen it. Something major?

Steel wheels, different blade tensioning set up, different guide roller width adjustment, more engine options.  Things I most remember.  They have their 'own' blades, now (has their name on them).   They are the best overall that they have used, thusfar. 

I have been considering a new/spare head.   :D

19" steel wheels would be nice i have not had any trouble with the 18s but replacing a band, starting the saw and not having saw dust fly out from under the band wheels tires is something to look forward to. 19" steel wheels are the same size cooks uses, and a new line of blades too i wonder? they are both make a good product and there southern too. ;D the only thing i have replaced on my lm1 are a idler bearing cap and the steel water tank with a plactic one. I also hose clamped a piece of blade in front of the track wheel on the dust side with one of the teeth stradling the track so that it keeps the track scraped clean.
those are some big pretty logs and they made some great lumber. the butt cut pictures do look a little odd without that brown spot of cubic rot somewere around the heart. thank goodness that some folks like peckey cedar paneling.

I need to make trip up there. It's been 4-5 years since I was through there. At that time they had the head and band wheels on a custom order saw with a 7' throat. Said the the guy had a bunch of big Pecan he was going to slab.
My mill is a LM-1, but it's an early model with 30" steel wheels and the head is size of the new LM-2 or the LM-16.
tcmpsi have you compared the Log Master blades to any other brands? Who are you using for re-sharp?

Actually, Woodwalker, the only blades I have are Sterling, Monks and the "Logmaster".  The Sterlings were the best cutting and stayed sharp and set the best.  But, they were prone to breaking.  The Monks are good overall, but the set plays out sooner and they break, from time to time.  These new ones, the set stays as well as the sterlings, not quite as sharp, but have the best non-breakage so far.  I use their resharp.  Sometimes I go, sometimes I ship. 

Yes, they will build about anything plausible. 

I did not know they did a LM1 in your configuration.  That is interesting, indeed. 

To me, it is always worth the trip there.

I had a guy call me last night wanting to sell me some red cedar.  I asked how big are they on the little end?  He said they go to the tip.  How long are they?  Several are 16 feet long.  How big on the big end?  One is as big as about 11 inches. 

Well, I did not buy any cedar logs yesterday  :)

What?....you don't need no fence?   :D

Yes sir, that is the predominant type of cedar gold I am usually asked to buy.   ;D

My experience is the heart of the cedar that makes a fence post last!

Well I got to talk with Ed today! Was informed that the Cat engine came in this morning for the LM2 sawmill I ordered  8) so I confirmed that A hat would be expected as ordering a Six pack of blades. I've been laying low but am sure the questions will start fling like sawdust soon  ;)

Got a plan?  Got logs?  Going to be mobile, mobile?  Was Ed able to give you any time frame to completion?  Anxious for the moment to go pick it up?   ;D

I am.   :D

Yes tcsmpsi Ed did say when it will be ready real soon yes my excitement is grand. Oh I'm spose to have a plan dang :D As for mobile it does have tires under it  8) My only draw back is I work at a plant in the oil and gas industry and time off has been very limited but do see regular hour's in the horizion. I took a couple of weeks vacation to at least play with it a bit and hope to start a rain cover for it at least so the sun don't beat down on us. So far on logs i have a small trailer overloaded with cedar and several pines down that i cut to 8'6" and put up off of ground from the drought and a nieghbor has all the logs i want to practice on Hmm wonder what he meant by practice LOL He is a pipeliner and gets the pick of the litter for free He said he just hates to see good wood go the chippers.

Yep.  Sounds like the proper plan to me.   ;)

And, it IS good to be able to provide a use for trees that would otherwise be burned or left forgotten and forlorn.   ;D
