Pick-up sticks

Spring cleaning. CK30 easily moves my logs. I have moved several huge logs in the past, these medium sized logs are easy!

Kiotis are great machines (preaching to the choir!).

I wish each and every one a glorious Easter.

If you just carry that log around back and forth day after day with a grin on your face, you may need to see someone before it's to late...

I'm with ya.

What's keeping the log in the bucket?

Suggest you fellows think about how high you lift and if that there log can come back and sit in your lap!

Not to worry Egon. That pic was just for "posing".

Looks like he has extra long teeth attached to the bucket bottom. Look closer at the pic and you see them holding the log.

Righto George. Missed that the first time.

Yes, I have a toothbar, makes it far easier to pick the logs up. It is low enough it won't roll back on me. I moved several more today. I think having a tractor has caused my burn piles to grow substantially.

Thanks for posting the pictures and wishing you a great Easter.

Be sure to get those ROPS up and belt on, particularly with loads like that which can shift and make funny stuff happen.

It is really something how useful a loader is, I use mine for all kinds of uses, felling some big trees and I've been using the loader to lift up the logs so I can position for cutting up in to lengths.

I enjoy my Kioti more and more, trying to find any excuse for seat time.

I had the ROPs up and belt on today. Doesn't fit in my garage with it up. I wasn't on level ground today so up it went. I moved a real monster of a log, but my wife wasn't around with a camera. It really is amazing what the tractor can lift.

I was also doing a bit of digging today, recutting and shaping a slope along my road frontage. It is interesting how just a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the bucket dug in (with tooth bar) takes more break-out force than lifting some of the logs I have moved. Several times I started to pull up onto one or two wheels with the bucket.
