Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Small tractor pushing heavy log, this time my log deck didn't wobble, added some 1/2" angle bar on railroad iron then screwed to the front of log deck, might change to 5/8 threaded rod later if wobble comes back.

Least I get a nice warm fuzzy feeling just knowing that all those upper mid west folks never make any mistakes and nothing on their sawmill ever wears out.............

Does your mill have a debarker? That dirty acorn tree log looked like it could be hard on the chain.

Maybe too much gobbledygook on that tractor already, or maybe he just need a set of real forks, get the weight closer to the loader arms.

Ya, but should be able to pick that log!

I would have thought his gear trans would have made so much more power it could do it. lol. Kidding aside it’s a pretty good size log and the bucket forks hurt it a lot.

Yes, having all that weight so far forward is a killer.

A grapple would help also.

I've wondered for a while if he has hydraulic problems of some type. He also has an electric winch on back because the 3pth won't pick up a normal sized hitch of wood.

Still, that oak log has to weigh at least 1400 lbs...
