Estimate the Weight of this log

[square1]

I can see this competition is heating up, I revise my estimate to:

(((9" x 9") x pi) x 348") / 1728) x 62 lbs or exactly 2.7e+2st stone

 

[jejeosborne]

3,625 pounds

I would have to agree.

Timber and Lumber Calculators at WOODWEB

Unlike electric motors, logs lose a lot of weight when you let the smoke out.

...though they seem to lose equal percentages in value, lol

2168# dry, or 3027# wet.

Thanks for all the replies. I also used the Woodweb calculator. I was curious to see what you guys came up with. Yes I did lift it with the tractor. I may have been able to lift a little more. With grapple weighing around 450lb, the SSQA on the loader @ 100lb, and the log at 3625 I was lifting 4175lbs.

















Don't try this at home:laughing:

Excellent. Now I know what mine is capable of.

I don't think my l5460 could lift that.

The ol' Kubby looks a might light in the loafers at the rear end, and a tad heavy at the front.

I wouldn't want to load the front axle up like that very often.:dollarsign:

My l5460 sure is alot more stable with weight up front when I have my #1100 BB on the rear. Easy to lift a rear wheel off the ground otherwise if too agressive while turning, esp on lumpy ground.

The loader on these tractors is pretty strong.

Did you ever check to see were your relief is set?

This was pretty much a one time deal. I wanted to see what it would do.

I need a better ballast especially for use with the grapple. I want a compact but heavy ballast. I have a pretty cool idea for a ballast but I found the stuff to make it but IDK if the place will sell it to me. I may end up making a concrete ballast.
