How do you keep your logs off the ground?
I dont mill yet, but Id like to start this coming spring/summer. I have a tractor, so the lifting isnt the issue, but Im wondering what I would prop it up on.
Im thinking of getting a 36" Alaskan, and flattening off the top, then using the mini mill from baileys, and running a vertical cut down either side, to make a 3 sided cant, then running boards right out of that. Is there an easier way to do this? More effective way?
To run the vertical cuts, I would have to get the log off the ground so the bar wasnt trying to dig in the dirt. Any suggestions for this?
Excuse me for not knowing really what Im doing, Im just trying to learn as much as I can, and make a plan for how to accomplish it.
