Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Yogi05]

I have a scissor jack at the head end of my saw to make the blade parallel to the pith/center.. Sawyer Rob I believe has toe boards that does the same thing only fancier. You can see it in red in the pic, you can raise the one end to get the center centered.

Had to back up a bit here to ask about your scissor jack.
What would a jack like that be called, or original use? Is it specific to a lumber mill? I'm thinking not.
They way I was doing it was to lever the log up and put different widths of wood under it to get the desired pith height.
It's be way easier if I could rig up a jack. There's still the cost vs. not my machine factor, but for ease of operation I'd be willing to put
a couple more $5's into it.
What are toe boards?

It’s a generic car jack. You probably have one in your auto.

I don’t think that you have what it takes to be an influencer. You worked hard for what you have and I can’t see you saying “Give me something for free and I will give your business a good review.”

I could be wrong on that but-
Nah, you couldn’t do it.

THAT would be CORRECT!

And is that what an influencer does?? I'm not taking that job then... well then now then if Winchester or Stihl, or maybe Woodmizer started giving me things....... hmm

It is this jack Amazon.com: F2C 1100 LB Mini Motorcycle Scissor Center Lift Jack Hoist Stand Bikes ATV : Automotive
Needs a nice flat top platform to keep the log steady. I mounted it so the top is just below the bunks on the saw so I could get it out of the way.
It has an 1100 lbs capacity, much bigger than that I dont want to mess with anyhow.. and it has places on the bottom to bolt it down.
Toe boards are the same type of thing built on to the saw from the factory.. as far as I know..

Get a jack at a junk yard, they have lots of flat top/bottom scissors jacks...

I've collected up 5 or 6 of them, and they work great.

BTW, my toe boards have hydraulic lift...

Yeah, my saw is more manual than yours.

And I like the fact my jack is wider more stable than a car jack and has the provision to bolt it down.

Getting used to the grapple...

I've had some black walnut logs laying around for years. FINALLY got my buddy down the road to mill the last one up for me. My goal is to stockpile as much black walnut as possible. This stuff ain't getting any easier to find or any cheaper.

That's looking a little funky, did you get some good stuff out of it?

My toe boards are manual, they just are hydraulic instead of scissors operated.
