There's trees that tall here...it sure would be a long drive though. Theres several ranches here with plenty of room to work, and not trucking that log down the road would simplify things. Hayfork was a logging town but they left a couple standing!

I think peterson, Lucas, and a manual bandmill could all do this. But putting them together would be the trick, so why not three projects, 1 for each? Kind of a long log shooyout! But then we'd need three logs... Be a fun get together wherever it happens. Take lot's of pictures and compare what happens.

Nope, only need one log. Smiley
One of the swingers takes the first long board.
Next swinger takes the second.
Then the manual band takes the third.
I have the bandmill last as the "log" would weigh less then.
Now if you were actually trying to get in "The Book", the whole thing would have to be done as "they" see fit and that will probly be a log for each mill. Wink

Actually, you don't need any track with mine if you have a nice smooth concrete pad, it'll roll right along.
Just need to use a little fill in the expansion joints or find a fresh stretch of asphalt road and that's all we need. Smiley Smiley Smiley


I was wondering about tying two trailers together as well until I remembered corners! Ya dats a good one! Ya dats a good one! Ya dats a good one!
We'll just tie it the the roof of three cars and have a lazy susan under it. Wink

OK, How do I get my Lucas involved?  I feel left out.  I got 40+ feet of rails.

Brdmkr, I'm in too then. It would almost be too easy with a few Lucas guys, we have a simple way of setting up and adjusting for taper right where the tree falls. I think we need to go for 200'.  Smiley Definately not an impossible task out here. Smiley
