    Can you help ID these logs for me? I think the big ones are silver maple and smaller are ash trees...

    Hi Mike! I thought I was the only one...
    How do you like your woodchuck timber jack? I just ordered one online last week to help me move these massive logs

    It'll roll and lift a decent sized log, fairly easy. It's well built and rugged.

    You should be able to roll those logs with it. Lifting logs, will depend on just how heavy they are.

    I got mine as a Christmas present a few years ago.
