Was a little tricky getting it to fit the bed as the pockets are rounded at the corners I just chamfered them with a sharp chisel and then pounded them in

This looks like a prime candidate for a mag wheel.

[Backyard Lumberjack]

I've posted those before in this thread, pretty cool. With those wheels on the back it would kinda be like a walker, I'm sure @H-Ranch could get that a approved for his PT .

Geez you guys have been busy! And nobody commemorated 3700 pages of scrounging, whiskey, maple syrup, and life! So now we did!

Last night a female friend came over to help me clean my garage. I worked for 4 hours, she worked for 3 and the kids helped a bit too. I am trading her some time at my place for help cutting trees and brush at her house later this summer. Garage is really looking awesome now, I am seeing sections of cement that literally had been covered with stuff for 15 years.

Oh man! All these choices...

I just upgraded though as you may recall, so I think I'll wait for a self - driving model. You know, with all the effort of steering my current fleet and all.

@Kodiak Kid and @Logger nate I thought you pro fallers might be interested in this video. I noticed some weird looking stumps in our woods a while back. They had hardly any hinge wood. This video explains how walnut and other hardwood veneer trees are felled. The felling technique differences between east/midwest and west/west coast are very interesting to me.

Always interesting to see how different people fell.

and a tractor wheel!

Pretty serious piece of equipment no doubt!

Most definitely

I believe it's so the hinge wood isn't pulled out of big $$$ logs. That's why the heartwood was bored cut
