6.5 ton electric and 30 ton gas classes with example VEVOR listings and NO_MATCH ceiling.
| Class | Best for | Trade-off |

| 6.5 ton electric | Small seasoned softwood rounds under ~6.5 required tons (often ≤6 in softwood) | Will stall larger hardwood and most green wood |
| 30 ton gas | Most homeowner hardwood and green softwood up to ~30 required tons | Ceiling of this ladder — large green hardwood may NO_MATCH |
| Above 30 tons | Large green hardwood, commercial volume, knotty crotch wood | NO_MATCH on this site — need a higher-tonnage machine |
