Dump trailer right ?!Put in Some work at my brother in laws. Definitely thinking about one of those pickeroons you boys love. I use a rake or the Fiskars x27. But after 6 “lil truck” loads. Thinking about getting the right tool
Yeah that would probably work too or I could hit the wedge right who knows at least it went by me cause that would have been a hell of a one to catchTry doing a saw kerf about the depth of the bar in the top of a round. Set the wedge. Hit once.View attachment 889574
Looks like that log would have made some fine lumber. But I understand every log can't be turned into lumber.......The oak is splitting very nicely, I get about 40 - 48 splits out of each of these rounds.....
Definitely would have made for some fine lumber. I hauled several (6 I think) logs from a Chestnut oak and a Red Oak that fell in easier access places (on my lawn) to a mill. This one, as nice and straight as it was would have been prime for that, or to have a portable band saw mill come work it up. But, for me, that would have been an expense, where this process is going to be a revenue opportunity. I understand plenty folks see this as a waste of good wood. So far none of them have offered to show up and mill it for me.Looks like that log would have made some fine lumber. But I understand every log can't be turned into lumber.
Please don't take that as criticism, I've sawn some beautiful logs (even HVBW) into firewood because I didn't have the equipment to move it. It was either that or the burn pile. I've tried to move some short logs with my small trailer and a cheap HF electric winch. It's tough.Definitely would have made for some fine lumber.

You've got a mill? You lucky dog!
I loaded and hauled those logs to a mill.
