Oh you are going to have FUN sawing that one. Boards, posts, beam(s) or a combination?

What did they use to load that log onto the trailer?

12 foot 2x6s. I had to roll it off the trailer and cut it in 12&1/2 feet. Telehandler still at the repair shop. Tractor wouldn't lift one end of the full log. Cut in half. Tractor grapple picked up smaller end and moved it to stack. Grapple would not curl the bigger one. Had to drag it to the stack.

I also whittled the large end of that monster down with the chain saw, because at 38 inches, it wouldn't fit on my 36 inch wide sawmill. Gotta let it sit a bit to dry out some.
hugs, Brandi

John Deere 120 excavator. New operator. At one point moving it, he swung it to the side and put the excavator up on one track.

It is way better than I ever thought. With the right angle of the bucket, clay rolls off the blade like a dozer's blade. I only catch and cut the roots with the center of the blade reinforced by the bucket's teeth.
hugs, Brandi
That is a great idea!
