...PTO driven by a tractor!
I'd lower the top blade guide myself... but that is just me being worried about accidently shaking hands with the blade while slinging wood as fast as possible!

Here's something I hadn't seen before in a bandsaw...

Wouldn't it also be better for the blade if it was supported closer to the cut?
Less sideways stress?
On a saw that big and of (presumably) high quality, set up correctly and with good blade under correct tension, not really.
I hardly ever lower my guides unless I'm using very narrow blades or I have a higher than normal reason to be concerned about my hands. I have an old, cheaper saw that I took the time to set up properly, including making sure the wheel were perfectly co-planer. Once I find the drift angle for my blade and have plenty of tension on it, it cuts true and easy.
Took the words right out of my mouth. ;~)
nice setup
i wonder if he turns it later for artisanal firewood bundles
