My Dad was a logger/sawyer owned his own mill. When we were growing up we had no loader, no forklift. Used dozer to skid logs, hole was dug to park truck in, logs rolled on by hand, truck had drop stakes(hinged) that were released to unload at mill. All lumber stacked with stickers to air dry. This was all hardwood 4/4,5/4,8/4,10/4 ect thicknesses. I remember 8/4 oak, 2 boards wide for 48 inch stack, 20-22 inch wide boards. Some trees 5 logs 1700 board feet. Trees 48 inches in diameter, sometimes had to take 8 slabs off log, turning by hand, before 56 inch blade would cut all the way through. But really needed a big crew when lumber was sold. Tractor trailer load in one day 12,000+ board feet sometimes, all by hand, graded on pile handed on to truck and stacked. At the end of the day when you were tired you were handing up to the top of the load of course. I didn't think much of it then, but wouldn't change it much now if I could. We learned how to work and a lot of other important values that have served me well throughout my life.
