Nice big cherry log you have there. What did you make out of it?
Not bad looking rig. What model tractor and winch have you got?
Built my own band mill with the help of Forestry Forum.

Have not cut it up yet, what it is to become is yet to be decided, probably lumber to dry and sell.

Tractor and winch - tractor is a 2008 model 5203 and the winch is a Wallenstein FX90. Both tractor and winch have treated me very well so far, use them every chance I get. My wife claims all I think about is skidding logs!  :)

I see some nice 8/4 in that log.

Probably what most of it will end up as. The one end of the log has some rot in it but should still make a lot of nice lumber.
