    I have been using tongs like that since i got my sawmill! Really not a terrible way to do it, just takes alittle more time (and getting off the tractor)

    Also love that JD. Is it a 990?

    Carpenter ants had their way with it, smashed more than one vehicle. No wind or anything, homeowners said they were watching tv and heard a noise........

    Whoa! That thing is really nice. Looks like you have plenty of protection on it too for use in the woods. Like the saw holder on the side. Bet that loader can lift a mountain!
