I got about 120 feet out of this hemlock log today and realized three things; that's pushing the limits of the lift capacity of my loader; it's about as much weight as I want to lift with my tractor, at least until I get new tires so that I can load them; and I could really wreck my back again messing with these if I'm not careful.
I then went and grabbed a soft maple log which I had dropped almost two years ago and forgotten about; and sawed about 50 feet from that. I'm not sure what I'll do with the lumber but there are a couple of old tap holes which make it interesting.
