I too have this.

That's fnatastic! Great find!

 

[Ironbark]

Hats off for trying though.

That's a log. That's a big log. That's a big, heavy log.

Okay, for you guys that have dealt with logs of that size - what is the approximate weight of that log?

.... and is that a bent frame on that truck or is it just the box that is nfg?

Those are some great pics (except for the guy with the truck). Thanks for posting those up!

Not a job for a half ton Chevy for sure.

Thats a big bent frame right there! Looked like a nice truck too.

I wonder why they didn't center it more over the trailers axles. That's a whole lotta tongue weight!

 

[thombat4]

That's freakin' incredible...!

What a monster!! I'm wonderin' what that beast weighs too. Man...that thing's huge:jawdrop:

 

[Blakesmaster]

"Like a rock!" Hey, it was as strong as it could be!

 

[BayAreaBucker]

Whoops, hahahaha! :camera: :looser:

I'm gonna guess in the neighborhood of 5K

I'm gonna guess a lot heavier, judging by the damage.

If you figure it at 10' by 36" that's right around 70 cubic feet. Most species of Oak weight in a 63-65# per cubic foot. Say it's 70 cubic feet X 63, that would put it at 4410#. 5K is a good guess. I know I would be trying to block something that big in about 2.5 - 3 pieces. I'd want to be right on top of something that big with a crane.

*Correction: 10'X36" is around 90 cubic feet so your looking more in the neighborhood of 6K

 

[outdoorlivin247]

4 to 6 ton loader squatting the tires=REALLY HEAVY...

 

[Ironbark]

Yeah, that's gotta be 8-10K lbs

 

[woodbooga]

Can't say for certain, but if I had to pick one, I'd guess the guy who's not smiling in the back is the truck owner.

 

[tree md]

Looking at the knotty section, that is going to make it weigh more so it could very well weigh more than 6K. I'd love to get it on the crane scales and see what it goes. I know it's way to big to mess with in one piece doing any kind of rigging without a crane.

If you figure it at 10' by 36"...

I think that's a lot more than 36" high, and it's wider than it is tall.
