You really should consider sleeping with those logs tonight so no one will steal them.  :D

Those are some BIG 'UNS!

It would be quite a commute for me....I guess I'll just have to look at all the pictures your going to post of the job tomorrow.  ;D

I was going to use my edger on this job....I started it up....wouldn't you know it the water pump started leaking. I'll have to just run the ol Super 40 on these big uns....

That is a nice picture. And log. How did the loader like that log?

I cut a few Hemlock "about" that size last year.

Really makes one appreciate the hydraulics!

Good luck on the job Bowman1!

Nice log ,but your going to run out of rail before you finish your cut if you don't shift it back a bit.

If no one is looking cheat and cut a little off the far end so your band can clear the log. Frank C.

I see that it can be moved forward ~a foot.  With the log dawg working you will get it done, but that will be a day's work.   smiley_thumbsup

The loader didn't hesitate! You boys do have a keen eye...I hadn't finished positioning the log to start cutting...it needed to move back about 10". We cutting it into barn lumber for a friend.

If you were in Georgia, you can sleep with them on the porch at night with the heat and the bugs.  Next morning, you would cut them up as firewood so that you would not have to sleep with them another night :D.

Awesome log! That tractor desperately needs a set of forks for sawmill work....I swear I use my forks more than any other implement or attachment....priceless.

Magicman, is that your mill with no seat on it?

Probably dusting.   :)

Because the Operator's Seat takes 2', it has to be removed to saw 20' logs.  18½' is the longest that you can saw with the seat installed.
