Trusty JD and a big Log

[Dave Pee]

Cleaning up my neighbors yard. Ran across this dry pine tree - about 30 ft long. No problem lifting it with grapple and 32 HP.

I guess we have different standards for a big log.

 

[Dave Pee]

Oooo - tough crowd today!

Yep, my big log has roots on it:

It was vertical earlier:

My big log weighed 10k with the top of the tree gone. My tractor couldn't hardly lift the top part so it was more than a ton. Here's another big one

How big is big? It is relative term conventionally.

Six ft. tall may be considered tall in a group that averages five and a half feet. Six ft. Tall in an NBA dressing room might be considered short!

Considering you can't cut the red woods I consider anything I can't cut with a 20" bar "big".

Pardon the forks, they're chained to the bucket haha. Forks are off a forklift, still has the huge 1" steel plates on the back of it. Having it this far forward of the pins doesn't help with my lift capacity. I had my brother cut it down, all those vines you see are poison ivy which I get pretty badly and he does not!

 

[4570Man]

Unless I had my buddy who's not allergic to that crap I'd have left that alone. I'd probably be in the hospital after cutting that log.

I've had friends who seemed to think I should drop everything I have to do and eradicate poison oak/ivy from my woods. I just don't invite them into the woods.
