Took 28 man hrs: a day to rig it down, drop the peg, and winch up the logs, then a few 1 hr round trips of hauling logs and equipment, half hr of chipping. Mini made brush bundles and used the pto winch to twitch material up and around the septic.
Couldn't make it up a steep paved hill with chains on yesterday morning hauling the 15xp, slick packed snow. Lowered expectation and $/hr with stressful rd conditions being the culprit is annoying AF. Drove the half hr back home and then we headed back via car with studs on to get part of the...
Sometimes the late-release/straight-up miss I notice my elbow is too bent, if my arm is more extended the shot is lower trajectory. Also slowing the upswing just a bit.
@southsoundtree the "bottom of the top of the window" vs just over the top of the branch comment is so good, I'm going to...
Called to dump trailer dealer and they have the manufacturer derate gvw for ~$100 to avoid cdl issues. Griffin, Iron Bull, and PJ as in stock options $8-9kish for 14' and a couple 16'

Nice going! Do you have any log trucking companies that would pickup logs in the future? We're spoiled with a great outfit that rarely charges more than $300 in trucking and it helps keep their employees busy. Anything more than a few logs or if it's a longer haul and multiple trips it saves so...
All of notes above, except white pine can play fine many days but def depends on the freeze (pic is 90 deg siz swing on a pine top). Warm back up after lunch, what was perfectly fine in summer may lead to injury in cold: don't jump down from anything, don't reach in weird positions, any jerking...
Ordered a box of nine degree double hard woodmizer bandsaw blades for the mill we got this year. Supposed to be better in frozen wood etc for some winter lumber fun.
Maybe a replacement 14' dump trailer for my 10(?) yr old 12'.
Probably should check in with accountant on where we are as to...
