Tractors and wood! Show your pics

You can get those beams in longways, how you going to get them out once they are together? Should have borrowed a 4 wheel trailer from SR or something.

naaaaa, his wife is busy this week, so there's no one there to back it into place for him. ha ha ha

Mind if I throw out another idea? Once the bridge is in place, lay a disposable log on each side of the bridge as a guide for the trees to follow. It can help keep your load straight, and those of us who deal with BMPs (Best Management Practices) learn to do that to keep sedimentation out of the water. Speaking of which, did you get any rain down there today? We just started getting it here now... the kind of slow steady downpour which is nice to go to sleep to, and will soak the ground down good if it lasts for long. Hopefully it will... we need it.

Instead of disposable logs I plan on using permanent boulders on both ends of bridge. Hard to believe but that brook is almost dried up from all this dry weather, even the muddiest mud holes are drying up, I haven't had any significant rain in three weeks, but least it's not HHH.........

First your thumbnails don't enlarge so they are a little hard to see.

Pic # 3 looks like your tractor has a woody, but this is "tractors and wood, show your pics" so your good there!!:laughing:

You say a 16 footer wont go sideways through a 12 foot door... you have a chainsaw don't you?

I guess Imgur pictures wont enlarge, that may cause a lot of unneeded stress for TBN posters and they'r already stressed out. Maybe you'll be able to see these pics better in PG

Right now the plan for getting the two 5'x16-ish bridge panels out is back the log trailer up to the door-way and winch them on, the details are still sketchy and are still being processed by the bridge moving department, trying to avoid any bridge moving fines, so I'm keeping this top secret, so dont tell no one.............

There is a simple answer to that 16 foot issue,,

Install a 18 foot wide roll up door,,
THEN it will fit,,,

:laughing:

I guess garages are like garage doors, my first garage was 10' wide so this one I went 12'. I wonder how big one can go before the typical garage door opener wont work.........

I hate to disappoint you, but your photos loaded just fine. :thumbsup: I did remove them from my quote though, there's no sense giving people too much of a good thing.

I'm not sure that I could lift two beams outstretched like that. Even with my new counterweights I would be afraid of going on another roller coaster ride on the front tires.

I've used doors which were raised by chainfalls; too big for a regular power opener and definitely too heavy to lift.

I dont have enough patience to back up one of those 4 wheel wagons although you would get a laugh out of it for sure.

I think when a door gets that big it's time to go sideways, although chain-falls are great exercise, if one wants exercise.....

To be honest I don't remember where it was, I just remember doing it. It may have been at the Maine Forest Service building in Old Town back in the early '80s... they worked on trucks, dump trucks, tractor trailers, and probably an occasional airplane.
