Here's an old 4370 with a BIG log!

when I lived in upstate NY (Fingerlakes region) unmarried Amish used open buggies, and married used enclosed.
Mennonites drove black cars, any by black, I mean black! Anything that wasn't factory black, was spray painted black, bumpers, rims, antenna, etc. It was black, or glass.

Either they have moderated in their requirements for personal vehicles, or they have significantly changed their requirements for business vehicles because there's a very few Mennonite business vehicles that are all black and I see more of what appear to be personal vehicles with chrome these days that is not painted over.

All of them are enclosed around here.
They do have open wagons they use in the summertime, a lot of them have old van bucket seats bolted to them.

Weren't the open wagons designated for dates

Sorry, no I don't. I've had that picture for a long time, and I don't remember where I got it.
I have some others that I'll post too.

We used to follow the logging trucks around when I was at my uncles place in NW MA. To see them piled up and climbing the mountain passes was impressive.
We had some friends up there who were loggers. All would clear the road and then start cutting in using 48" or larger bars. I remember try to lift one of these saws as a kid and almost falling over from the weight.
They used to use two man saws for fun to clear their own firewood and they would plank and beam to add on to their houses.
I don't think there is much manual logging up there anymore.

Doesn't look like the bottom log is chained down? I think I see a chain on the top log. Wondering if the rings and chains are for tie downs?? Jon

Looking at the tie-down, a left turn might be interesting.

He didn't have any matches and didn't know how to rub sticks together. He had to start the campfire somehow.

I found the same picture online titled Giant Fir Log, Washington State. The truck looks like one of those once operated by G&D Logging of Darrington WA. Looking at the truck I would guess mid to late 70s- early 80s

Imagine the size of the wood stove !

That one would last all night in the stove, and then some.

Found this on another forum, note the guy in the trunk holding the tongue:

That one would last all night in the stove, and then some.

My neighbor built a woodstove for his BIG shop,,
it took 4 to 5 foot long logs,,
Two guys would toss four or five logs (8 to 12 inches in diameter) in the front double doors,
and then pour a gallon of used motor oil on the ashes of the previous fire.

The "chimney" was a piece of 10" steel pipe, that went straight up through the roof.

They lit it with a propane weed burner,, the fire would heat the shop all day.

The stove was twice the size of a 275 gallon oil tank.
It was the biggest woodstove I ever saw,,,

While the oil was burning, flames went out of the chimney 10 feet high,,
