Dropped a lot of my big sugar maple a couple days ago. Maybe only 2 veneer logs, all others have end defects like ingrown bark...dammit. Oh well, they’ll still bring good money.
Pulled everything out yesterday, got 1,493bdf out of 5 trees. Doesn’t sound like a lot but when working solo it’s a long days work to pull 20 logs out. Especially considering skidding took 30 minutes round trip. A couple of the butt logs had to be pulled one at a time, Sugar maple is HEAVY.
I had 2,301bdf in 43 logs on that first 3/4 load out. I already have 2,395bdf on the landing in only 32 logs. Pulling consistently bigger timber. Hoping to get at least 10 more big logs out today and that might make a load because they’re so big....fingers crossed.
