Not real impressive, but why not take the tree to the brush pile and limb it there? Oh should I say three trees?
Putting some cants away for the winter. Better letting it sit with the bark off. It won't be long before it's snow plowing time and "tidying up" before it's buried is an annual event.
Its sad in a way looking back. My daughter was so little then, now she would never fit in the cab with me. Time goes too damm quick
How do you like the CaseIH DX33? Is it big enough to pick up an 8' log 24" diameter? Crazy me I am looking at my next purchase, and trying to decide what to start saving for. Either a dump trailer or a small tractor like the DX33. On their site, I don't see the DX33. Calculating out my worst log at 8' long 24" in diameter on both ends the log comes in at 1680 lbs. ds Oh, this would not be purchase until next summer time at a minimum. Jason from RI
Mine is a 2002 and now has 470 hours on it. I put on 70 hours since last year at this time. Runs great and handles my air blast sprayer for the orchard well. A log the size you are talking could not be picked up.
I found a log weight website based on the type of tree, diameter at the narrow end, and then fat end. It calculates out an estimated weight. The weight of that log comes in just under 1700 lbs. I'll have to keep processing them on the ground for now, and put a tractor on my wish list. A 6' X 10' dump trailer and or a quad was next on my list. My cousin has given me permission to cut on his 20 acres. Jason from RI
