Moving a big log...

[AndyM]

This has been sitting about 75 feet from our back door since last April. I've been meaning to move it further towards the back of the property, and we finally got around to it this evening. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Now it's at its new home--
close to my burn pile! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's sure going to take a lot to burn this! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I moved the "smaller" one back there last year. I was thinking about cutting that one in half with the chainsaw and making a couple of benches to sit around the fire. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[AndyM]

Any idea on moving the one in the background? It's a little too close to the house for my comfort to try and set it on fire right where it's at! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It's already been dug out of the ground, but my guess is the stump and roots weigh more than both tractors can handle! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Slightly off topic, but since I had the camera out, I thought I'd post the reason why I wish I had a bigger garage...

The backyard is starting to take shape.

It's starting to look more "park like" /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Last time any TBN members were at my house, the grass on this part of the property was about two feet high! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Last picture--

Kinda doubt if the neighbor will toss her the ball across the fence /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It sure is useless! Here's a closer look at it. The rotten section was about eight to ten feet from the bottom, so I thought it was best to cut down the tree before there was a house there for it to fall on.

If the 2N was running, I'd hook up all three tractors to try to move the stump! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[AndyM]

Here's the tree, right after I cut it down. It's on the right side of the picture. It's by far the largest tree I've cut down to date! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

One more...

The septic contractor dug the stump out and moved it out of his way. Now that a little over a year has gone by, I would like it moved out of my way. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[theonlybull]

find an old car hood, get the stump onto the hood, then wet the lawn and giver' ....... that should move the stump....

might need an old green tractor though

Good pics Andy.................

This is a picture of how my #1 son and I moved This Log.

Recommend you consider hooking your chain to the real hitch, not the 3pt bar....less chance of popping the front up.

What I want to see is the picture of Andy running those two tractors as the same time!

I don't remember his legs being THAT long....or arms either for that matter... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe this thread should be in the safety forum! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Actually, Mrs. AndyM drove the one tractor and I drove the other one. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It's OK that my wife drives the tractor, since I have a spare for myself! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Very Nice Andy... It's nice to see other peoples places - always gives me new ideas and more motivation to keep working! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
