have been some time of the air, this is because I have been for some extensive time at the mill installing an automated log turner (not using a winch). The logs in the video are all ipe (brazilian walnut) beauties:

Pretty impressive seeing those blade mill operations.  Looks like a real work house.  Nice job on the turner.

Looks like the turner did the trick.  Very nice heavy head rig also.  Good looking operation.

thank you, this was only a small investment, digging a hole and placing the bar with an engine, yotal cost around $2500 and now production up with aprox 15 - 20 with less personnel, so very good idea if you have a similar kind of operation.

Its also an excellent example of a bar turner, and how they work.
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
