If you are wanting to saw the logs for lumber, you should use a log arch. It will minimize the contact with the soil and make your band saw blade much happier!

Log arch--that was the thread you should look for -- someone made one out of an old rolabar hay rake.

Or do a Boolean for "log" and "rake" and "arch" in the same post--might narrow it down for you.

Like the boom pole deal the other guy just showed in his pics, it lifts the front up so it is less likely to catch and jerk the tractor around. I think that's the idea--logging experts chime in 'cause I'm not one.

There's a recent discussion in the Mahindra forum on this topic. There were some good suggestions made there. Check it out.

You know if you're just making firewood then why not buck them in the woods and load them on your FEL on forks or on the rear somehow. Maybe even a trailer. You've got to cut it anyway and the less you drag it the cleaner the log will be which will help the saw stay sharp.
