We have a Belsaw mill that we demonstrate at several shows in SW Ohio. It is using a 46 inch blade and I have put non functional teeth in half the sockets and it does a lot better job with basically whatever tactor that volunteers to pull it. The theory of tooth operation is that each tooth requires so much horsepower, whether it is just skinning the wood or cutting up to the point of filling the gullet with chips as it goes throught he log, so you either speed up the travel, or reduce teeth. It works for me, plus, teeth stay sharp longer and its half the effort to file them and half price to replace them! Bigger chips are easier to handle and you have less fine dust floating around, too. At home, I power it with a PTO on a little 1520 John Deere and it does good. I have a rope over to the throttle so you open it up on the cut and let it idle while you are setting up. The worst problems I have at shows is generally slow speed issues and unresponsive governors. Good Luck!
