Where do I have to go to get cedar like that? Cedar seldom gets that big around here.

We've got tons of cedar here.... mostly small garbage, but there is a fair amount of okay sized stuff.
I cut one log yesterday that made a 10x10..... pretty much a one-in-one-thousand kind of deal though.

The guy that owns the place has been buying cedar since '14 so I guess he's got the right contacts for better sized logs now.

Levi called me to ask what the code was on the bobcat yesterday..

Little bit of brain fog after hitting himself on the head with a post driver this weekend.. lol..

It hurts just to look at it.

It would definitely be handy.There was a fella around here that had one about that size, his had a grapple attachment on the bucket. It was a pretty nifty unit.

I am guessing that a 755 is just a newer version of the 750 or it’s just the designation for the loader series ?

The 750 Deere are a nice size utility dozer, I ran one when I was just out of high school backfillling trenches, sloping creek banks & taking out trees when we were putting in rural water lines. I much preferred it to the D5 they had.

Just under 45,000 lbs.

That’s about the minimum here for really getting piles made.

Evening people...
We picked up a couple more loads of hickory and oak today.



Also cut and split most of a cord....

I Do like some hickory..

 

[Sawdust Man]

I Do like some hickory..

Yeah, it's great firewood, and we like it for smoking meat.....but I hate milling it.... like rocks with rebar.

I may mill a couple of these because they are nice clean straight logs, and I'd like to make some handles out of it.

I heard Hickory works great for building docks.

But then it’s really bad when it rains,

It becomes a Hickory Slickory Dock.

Got a bunch of big oak logs early February. 100 year old golf club is remodeling. Stu said over 100 chip truck loads of chips and 2 million lbs of wood. I got what I could. I hauled once a day for 6 days. Several loads were only 4 big logs. I think every sawmill around was taking stuff. Club was scared of bad press so it was top secret till they start clearing along the highway.
