This is how they do it in Orygun.
ha, ive seen pulp wood bigger than that!
Ok, thats huge, the fact that they had to roll it onto the trailer with two dozers is crazy.
how do you transport your wood out of the forest?

On the other side of the country, and the other end of the spectrum; here is how I usually move the stuff to a better place for bucking, splitting, and loading on my trailer:

Sorry Ron, only just saw this response. That's a Landrover. The Poms can keep the bloody things, lol! The fella who drives the thing has thick skin to put up with the ribbin he gets.
This is the middle of summer and the tracks fitted are because the terrain so steep it's the only way to get traction. This was a private plantation and we had access to all the beaut hardwood we could be bothered with.

You guys have all the cool stuff...
Mad Max car and what not....Palm trees in the cutting area.....No EPA
Mine shows up in 10 foot lengths in the back of a dump truck...Dumped, stacked, and then moved up to the stove house for processing when the time is appropriate
I would wreak utter havoc with a toy like that. It would look like Kansas around here.....

Sharpen the chain, chuck chips ...repeat...
No first hand pic's just a lot of yelling, wasn't his fault the clutch linkage broke. Got r up the drivers side fender straight onto the cab. Flattened it bad and bent the frame to the ground, salvaged the drive line and the box. Here's the rest.....

yup, we have all been there, i should start another thread (pictures of getting stuck transporting our fire wood out of the forest).
This is how they do it in Orygun.
that looks fake almost like it should be on one of those tiny scale layouts, i would like to see the video of that truck driving out of there. priceless.
I think it's real but I also think they are anticipating that truck needing some help from at least one of the dozers. It looks like they already have a cable and maybe a snatch block hooked to the front of it.

It's real. There are more pictures in that series and they show the truck being pulled and pushed. Look at the tow bridle on the front bumper.
That was a common load in those days. There was usually nothing that would lift a log that heavy so they'd cut a ramp with the dozer, back the truck down real close alongside the ramp, and roll the log on. No big deal.

Some decent tires might help....
had these on my last truck View attachment 222711
Doesn't really make any differance once you break through the frozen ground in to the mud.:bang: Just have to get out the axe and cut a slope back up on top. Was backing up the trailer to the big rounds when I broke through here. Cut in front and behind the tires and rocked it out.
These are pretty new tires but will be replaced with better ones eventually.

I am not sure there is a log loader made that can pickup trees that big unless we start logging Pandora to justify building them :biggrin:
There might be one. If you ever get over to the Collier Logging Museum on 97 check out the big steam powered gizmo that ran on tracks and straddled the log. I'll see if I can find a link.
Here it is. I'm not sure how it worked...it was a little before my time.
