Daft question, how much lifting power do i need.
The aim, cutting up to 40ft beams out of trees.
Trees are not real big where i live. Average butt size, 24">32" Mostly larch.
I know the usual specific weight of the species i'm intrested in. But that's dry weight. How much slow growth and being wet adds?
Let say, a 32 inch 40' larch weights around 2.3 metric tons dry. Any idea it might weight when freshly cut?
Check out the Forestry Forum Toolbox on the lower, left side of the page?

Daft me, i didn't even look there.
2883kg. nearly 2.9 metric tons. So i have 600kg extra.
Thanks a lot.
Max.
