Tractors and wood! Show your pics

That was great !! Thanks OldP. I can see that is not the first time you did that. That trailer stays put better than I thought it would. Good to see that. You know how to get the most out of that tractor/trailer combo. Thanks again.

You just have to watch out for the rear end coming off the ground, when you load BIG logs!

I pulled out some big logs which sadly won’t make saw grade. 2 at a time was really a bit much to handle but I had to see if it had the muscle to do it. My l3240 would have never budged one.

OldP - I should add that you put guys like me who use a grapple to shame. You certainly know how to make those little stubby prongs on your bucket work !

Oldp good job. It looks like you have done that once or twice.

Impressive work! You’ve turned that machine into an aggressive beast.

I see your Rhino back there. How do you like it? (I don’t want this derailing like I did with the saws). I just get excited. With that, I keep getting advertisements for Dolmar / Makita saws. I’ll have to find a thread on those. Pro saw for 20-30% less than stihl.

You know how i feel about Dolmar saws

Makes sense.

Everything convincing me to buy a log trailer makes a lot of sense !!!

Thanks

And if buying a trailer, best to have tandem axle, even nicer to have a log loader on a trailer.

Do you have ballast in your tires? probably with your tractor you can get by without it.
