nothing visible holding the material

for that material a beam saw with the right blade would be faster
and give a much cleaner cut

And you can haul said beam saw out into the woods?

max capacity is 20 inch log but it does not look like it could do that
maybe that plate in the throat moves up and down

Yep.


that just needs a trailer to be complete otherwise there would be a need
to make sure it is level

Doesn't need to be "level" - the saw unit rides on the rails. If
you're daring enough, you could mount it nearly vertical.

maybe if it was on a concrete slab

Then it would not be portable

This is an up scaled rough lumber saw. Bigger & more elaborate
than an "Alaskan Mill" using a chain saw. "Perfect" if you want beams
or planks for construction at a "remote site, where trucking finished
lumber in is more work than it is worth.
