    Is that gross or net?
    "A" load is actually heavier by about 1K

    I'm guessing
    A is 7k
    B is 8k
    Net weights....

    Sweetgum is kinda lighter. My best guess without being there to measure each log (basically a quick armchair guesstimate) would be somewhere in the 9-11k range per load.

    :jaw: Well, that was my guess. With the prizes mentioned, I wouldn't feel right about changing my answer now! :rofl: :lol:

    Besides, I am still changing the oil on both the jet and helicopter. It's taking a bit longer to find the right filters here in the U.P. :rofl: :lol:

    Well, looks like brenndatomu is the winner, winner, chicken dinner.
    He gets the jet ride with wildwest as the pilot...:vulture::vulture::thumbs:
    The logs averaged 765 lbs each for both loads
    Load A... 0706222301.jpg
    Load B 0706222301a.jpg
    Total net 19060#...
    Who gets the chopper ride??

    Thank y'all for playing along.
