Challenges I've encountered as a Norwood sawmill owner: The frame design on the HD36v2 I purchased is insufficient to withstand the lateral forces that act upon it when using the hydraulic log clamp. The framerail will develop a visible bow. The assembly instructions failed to address the need to line up the cross bunks and the hydraulic log loader, allowing a smooth transition of the log to roll from the loader to the bed. I strongly believe that an additional cross bunk should be included when purchasing the hydraulic log loader. The current number is insufficient to adequately support logs on the bed when spaced for the log loader. The water flow control valve spins at the grommet. In addition, the spring loaded valve that controls the flow of water when throttling up/down does not stop the flow of water when engaged. The cable is adjusted to provide the maximum amount of spring pressure - still not enough. The hydraulic reservoir sits too high. I've had logs sit on it without realizing - holding them off the cross bunks. The housing of the jack stands is too tall. When setting up on fairly level ground, they stick up to where the plastic blade guards hit the handles when the sawhead is lowered to saw 1" boards. It should be about 1.5" shorter. What I like: I like that the sawmill can be lengthened, and that power options can be added. I like how easy it is to change out blades. I like that the trailer tongue is easily removed. I like the ease in which both the Vanguard and the Honda engines start.
