Must have climbed in through the face cut?

208 with an aftermarket grapple. It's in great shape. Fresh engine, axles, t case. Just needs chains and a winch

Myrtle the Turtle pulling fifty footers. We can't seem to rely on anybody to supply us with either logs or timbers, so we had to go logging ourselves.

Wade does a good sales pitch for used tires in one of his vids.:lol:

You would have to change every thing down the line, including trucking and processing at the mill. The mills that deal with these tree length sticks have giant merchandisers that cut the log to best suit the intended product. You would lose time loading and unloading the trucks and put the cut...

I was given a fallen cherry log on the last pine job. I went after it this afternoon, and it turned out to be pretty huge for a cherry, 48". I've never seen one around anywhere near that big. I decided to wait on it, as I don't have room on the next truckload for all of it, and I'm coming back...

Siding is a good use. I make a lot of dunnage from the uppers, because I don't care how nice it is. And it's surprising how much dunnage goes away every time you load some lumber or timbers for someone. You can make dimensional out of the uppers, but you'll probably have a bunch of them with big...

Moved to a little pine lot on the other side of town this week. I cut all the pine that was worth cutting, save three bigguns, I'll save them for another day. I cut about 8,000 feet and got quite a few really nice timber quality logs. A good portion of heart rot on this job, too. Not so good...

I've been back in the woods this week. First tree was a flopper, the second needed some rigging, third needed a lot of rigging, like more than I had. That one ended up going in the lay, just not the one I was gunning for.:lol: I had to use a redirect off the Farmi, and a 2:1 to get enough oomph...

If they don't pay for veneer, but are sorting it out themselves, they won't see me in their yard.

Jim, I wasn't even aware you owned a chainsaw, nor did it occur to me that that might have any affect on the appropriateness of your participation at the 'House.;)

China isn't just building with it, they are making products and sending it back to the US. That's were we are loosing jobs.

Do you still have a good mill industry where you are Squisher? There is only one full time mill in my county that I can think of, and the owner just died a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if it's going to keep going or not. I'll have to ask around, but the only mills I can think of are the...

Is the John Deere a forwarder or skidder?

I have a Wood-Mizer LT40 Super with wireless remote, currently 1 24' bed extension with another in the future, a twin blade edger and an assortment of log movers. Check out brendonv's timber framing thread. I've got a lot of posts in there of some of the work I've done.

Disclaimer, the log weight so far are anything but accurate. It said that log in the last pic weighed 13,000 pounds. old irish, I'm not a logger, I'm a timber framer. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Check out this app: www.boardcalc.com I just bought the Pro version. Now I can tabulate all of the logs on each job and know exactly what I have and how much I've got to pay for.8)

I can't skid through the woods now that the frost is going out. Had to get creative. Do you need an escort vehicle for 70'?

If you wanted one out of white pine, it would be. You can get crazy big Doug fir, but it's really hard to find pine like this for sale. Lucky for me, it's my next door neighbor. I've had to look for big pine before, and one guy I talked to said when he orders 8' and 10' Doug fir, they send him...
