I have a Woodmizer LT-40 that I have used to saw over 1.5 million board-ft. It's very portable and very accurate. In fact, it is so accurate I often challenge the customer to measure the lumber produced and see if there is any variation. The cannot find any variation with a tape measure, it just isn't accurate enough. From what I see of the mill, it will be just as accurate after the next 1.5 million board-feet.
I've done a lot of custom sawing at the customer's site with my mill. From the time I unhook my F150 pickup from the hitch until I am ready to load the first log can be as short as 2 minutes. Yep, two minutes. When the last log is finished and the lumber stacked and counted, it takes less than 5 minutes to be hitched up and on the road.
I know that what I'm telling you about is much higher priced than what you are describing but it turns a nightmare of a system into a pleasure and is very safe too. I did most of my sawing with no helper which makes one less person to look out for. From the operator's station you can barely reach the band so you aren't likely to get your fingers cut off. The biggest injury I suffered in the 12 years I used the mill was when I pulled a small log off the pile and it landed on my foot. It hurt, but I sawed the rest of the day and the next several jobs because it did no lasting damage.
Look for a used Woodmizer. They are very difficult to damage and you can replace most wear parts with a simple tool box and a hydraulic jack to help support the head if you need to replace a bearing. Try to find on with full hydraulics, your back and legs will thank you many time over.
