The one I pictures was mostly manual but the other on display had a lot of
hydraulics including a log turner and a log loader. Very nice but very
expensive.

I watched a guy use a Woodmizer with the hydraulics, it was really something... later that year I ran into a guy who had gone to a show and bought the demo after the show, he was really happy with it too. He was a school teacher and told me that he almost paid for it that first summer.
I never had the money, not even for a used one http://www.sawmill-exchange.com/ .
