Lots of nice pine much lumber

[The WoodButcher]

Hi all, Just started a job fetching some pine logs. We took the forklift to this job. Makes for very ez loading, but the unloading is kinda tough. We are backing up to different trees down the driveway, hook a few, drag'em off, pull up hook to another tree, drag a few off and so on. Once I get the forklift back I can fetch'em and bring'em to the mill. These are good logs but I've got to take everything, tops only no limbs. Most of these logs are 20'L. There are a few short ones though. I think I'm gonna make 6X post with them. Stuff thats hard to find if ya know what I mean. Suggestions welcome. This trailer beats the daylights out of mine, but it's not the trailer for this kinda work. 8)

Hauled more pine today. That forklift ROCKS!!! This was kinda hairy because we had to run these logs down hill. I blew a hole through the tip of the forks with a torch so I could put a hitchball on when I got the forklift. It helps when going down a slope, the hitch ball acts as a chalk to keep the log from rolling off the forks. Not the safest way but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. There were power lines everywhere, we were very careful, too good of a find to ruin it like that. The mast on the forklift sticks up pretty hight and there were some hills in the yard that made it tight under some of the lines. 8)

Bunch of wood.I helped my father fetch red oak and pine off our property to build a a-frame and hauled to mill then picked up and hacked then hauled and built.That was tough but the people who do this full time are some tough people.Tony
