I have a problem that i havent been able to figure out how to take care of.
I have a tree on my place that has been uprooted that i dont want to see rot if I can figure out how to mill it up. so now lets start with the tree.
problem 1 ---The tree is a white oak at its base it measures 9 feet 5 inches thru at the narrowest point its trunk is straight with no branches for 45 feet. At 40 feet it is still 8 feet 6 inches thru . Its limbs im not worried about as i can mill them normally with only having to split 2 or three of them to fit my mill.
problem 2 ---the tree is down in the middle of the forest on my place and this place has never been logged so its full of trees just as big and bigger that will keep a tractor from getting to it to pull it out. so any mill will have to be setup where the tree is.
any suggestions will be appreciated.
