    I was a little over on my guess. I was expecting a little more weight from the moisture.

    That said, yeah, big rounds are heavy. Too many underestimate the weight.

    I had a hernia repair but mine is genetic. Several relatives also had hernia repair. Though, lifting 300-400 pounds of wood could give anyone a hernia.

    Yep. That scale has weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds of steer and hogs. All dead of course!

    Wow, no wonder my back is already chit lol. I cut at 20" long and have loaded and moved many logs that size, all by hand and by my self, I always figured they were around 100-150lbs.

    Wow, that is heavy, no wonder the 'Bota didn't want to pick this log up with the forks. Based on your round's weight, that log probably weighed 1500-1600 lbs at least. Got 4 16" rounds from it. What do you think? 0420200951_HDR.jpg 0420200959.jpg 0420200959b.jpg 0420200959a.jpg
