whack of logs

[woodmills1]

here is a shot of the forwarder with a fair load of red oak.  the traction is so bad with all the mud i didn't dare put anymore on.  In fact i had to take the top two 18 foot logs off to get up the hill into the orchard, then winch them back to reload. spent 4 days haulin sticks and 4 days cutting, some vacation week :D. pulled 2 loads before noon today. On the ground behind the trailer you can see one of the 18 foot 8x8's for a post and beam carraige house one of my customers is building.

Nice WHACK, Woody. I brung home a little whack, myself, today. A friend had some residue from a clearing project, that he gave me. We had to skid them through some rough terrain with my Dooley, then loaded about 3 tons of smallish, but straight, oak and cherry on my trailer. There are still some larger oak and pine logs, but I'll have to take the tractor over to load them. At least we got them out of the way, so the grading folks can do their thing.

  Jim if you were at your old place would you have had all that fun playing in the mud?  By the way I like your new red toy. I bet it saves a lot of time to get a log on the mill.                                                                                                                                    Woodman162 Lake
