    You'll need a full floating axle to put dual wheels on. And the brakes are probably too small for the heavier load.

    Re: Partner 85 Chain Saw

    It is best to mill with one hp per tooth in the wood at any one time. Chain pitch will tell you how many teeth there are in a given length. I'd expect for millin' big logs you'd need an engine in...
