When this guy calls, you never know what he might have on the truck
Some guys have all the luck. Great scores both of you. Happy milling!! Brian
I went over and got a small walnut from a friend today (13"-14" diameter). One 8' and one 6' log and a couple of tops and such. He already had it topped but we had to use a snatch block and long cable to keep it from falling on his neighbors drive. They were amazed at the green chain saw chips and ring on the fresh cut log.
Then we loaded a couple of small ERCs on top. None over 7' long I think.
I sure envy you your loader in that first picture. Was a lot easier than mine. I put the snatch block on the front of the trailer, one end of the cable on the log and other to a tree behind the trailer, left the ramp down and slowly drove forward causing the log to slide right up into the trailer. The guy was impressed with that technique.
