Yesterday I milled a couple of oak logs. I had the first cut (in half long ways) done on both and ran out of time so had to leave them at the site. My intention was to finish quartering them and then transport tomorrow.
I drove by the site at lunchtime and found a crew of landscapers smoothing the area and putting down grass matting. My logs had to go right now or be pushed in a hole. No way was I gonna get them in the truck alone. The crew offered to help. I made two trips to get the four halves to my house. All is well now but I almost lost logs and a couple hours of work. Whew!!!!
This site is huge with lots of activity going on in a sporadic fashion. I can get permission but there is no way I can depend on anyone waiting on me. I'm gonna have to figure out a way to move logs.
Carrying one log at a time is fine and I don't have to go but a couple of miles on a public road so its not got to be truly highway-worthy. I'd like to pull it with my 4wd pickup. The LogRites look great but they are really expensive. Tell me about small log arches, please. Or any other way to move up to 9 foot X 30 inch logs with hand tools and a truck.
