I screwed up taking down this Maple last fall:

Pics of some Boxelder Maple I had sawmilled:

As Ryan said, it's known as a Harley/Harlie rake. That one fell apart like a cheap watch at the other end of the one-mile gravel road. :(

And plans for the new bridge are already out:

Pics of my Kubota L4330 in its natural habitat:

I did some road work on my one mile gravel road Sunday PM. I call this section of the road Mudhole #2; it's in pretty good shape.

Sounds like a good idea: I need to move a couple big logs - just buy another tractor! :rolleyes:

That 3rd pic with the red log - what is that? I have a log with that same color in it. Thanks!

Excellent point. Here is why I'm able to lift heavy logs to the limit of the FEL's capacity: My LMC HD box blade with extra weight attached to it plus rear filled tires. Let's count it up: - Rear filled tires, 47 gallons at 8.1 lbs/gal x 2 = 761 lbs - LMC BB = 675 lbs (per the manufacturer)...

I'm bowing out of this BS:

You don't need a 60" or wider grapple to pick up logs. In fact, the heavier the grapple, the less the log you'll be able to lift and carry. About 7 years ago, I planned to buy a 60" grapple for my ~40hp Kubota; they were out, but they had 48" and 72" (and up). I knew 72" was too big, so I got...

Load of Maple for my BIL:
