Yes I know I am asking too much from My dinky planner but it's working and
I just purchase 4 stand rollers. It may burn out eventually but as I wrote
earlier for $199. on sale who cares. I set it so hardly nothing comes
off the 1st two passes but it more trues
the surface. I have done about 20 logs so far and haven't had to spin the
blades as of Yet. I am surprised at the quality of the finish product.

As said, it's too much to expect of the planer to move that much
material thru it; as you've noted it's not the actual planing that's too
much for the machine but the material movement.

Somewhat on the vein of Leon's earlier suggestion, rig up a power-feed
assist. A 12V winch with some proper pulley sizing to get an
appropriate speed would be one way...

That load would put a strain on my old Rockwell/Delta Model 13 which is
the industrial-strength old small planer...
