I'm getting this trailer ready to go cut a load of wood, first fill the two tires that have sloooooooooow leaks in them,
Does this trailer look like it needs some new deck boards?? lol
Good thing I had some 16' PT lumber around,
I'm going to look around for some short lumber, before I cut a 16 footer to fill the last two holes!

Now if you only knew a local guy with a sawmill that you could barter to get some new boards for that trailer.

Yeaaa, no kidding! I thought that was going to happen, until I looked my logs over and saw that I don't have any 16' white oak or black locust!Now if you only knew a local guy with a sawmill that you could barter to get some new boards for that trailer.
I knew I had some 16' PT lumber though! lol

That's an estimate, based on published weights of naked tractor, FEL, backhoe, and subframe. Not weighed.

I think 4570Man meant the log, or at least that's what I want to know.

I guessed it was about a 4 X 4 and looked at a log weight calculator - a 4' diameter doug fir log 8' long weighs over 3800 lbs. And DF is fairly light. It looks like a good wt to me. Strong FEL on Kioti's. A lot more than my 30 hp L3010 can pick.

I cleaned up a huge storm fall pine today. I hate pine trees. There’s pines down all across the county from recent storms.
