This is my M pulling up logs on the A frame to load them on the trailer. The 3 point wouldn"t pick them up so I had to go back to the way I loaded them using my F-12 last year. I like the brake set up on the M better than trying to set the brake on the 12 with a big log like this dangling! The log is a 3 ft dia 9 ft long White Ash.

Ash is what his customer wants. All I can tell you is it is light and strong and less likely to split when driven than pine. different woods have better uses than others. My A frame I load logs with is made from poplar for bug resistance, light weight when dry, and is pegged together at the top with a 1"locust peg which is tough stuff.

Hope your selling that ash for boards. Up north we won't have any soon. I am sure it's coming your way.

It went to a sawmill. The market for Ash has fallen to the pits because of that dang bug, But the mill I took them to is begging for ash as he has a standing order for 1000 BFT a month and was out of ash. They are making surveyor stakes out of it. Kind of a shame for the quality of this log, but I got paid decent.

My brother does a lot of woodworking not far north of you (Owen Co right?) and he is stockpiling because he and some other woodworkers feel that there won't be much left in 10 years. No resistent trees being created. I work in West Lafayette and they are in the process of planting all new trees down the major thoroughfare because the trees that line it are all ash.

I have some nice boards I am going to sell. Mostly clear grade sasafrass, cherry and red oak so far. I will have some wormshot white oak soon if the weather holds out.That would make some nice cabinets ect! The sasafrass I have is super nice clear and very long and wide. I have some nice ash that I cut for joists for the loft, but might sell those too.

back when i first started for the utility company i was a tree trimmer for them and drove the log hauling truck.It was a 1965 GMC cabover with the exact same principal u have there.The only problem we ever had with it was winch controls were in the back and u got so busy watching the log u forgot to look at the truck.A few times we thoguht the winch had stalled only to find the front of the truck was about 5 feet in the air.Your design will work prefectly but just be very careful.Safety first

I sold these logs to a saw mill. He has a standing order for 1000 Board ft a month to a guy who makes surveyor stakes out of ash. They sure would have made some great lumber though! Nice and straight deep woods tree. This tree had been struck by lightning 15-20 years ago and then 4 years ago had the top taken out by a funnel cloud or small tornado. Tree resprouted , but I took it down as it would just end up hollow.
