Your log skidding attachment sure makes an easy way to haul logs. The tension within a log is very interesting. Some boards don't seem to have tension so they are nice and straight. Blessings to you.
I have a HM130 Max that I cut a lot of pine with. The sap gets on just about everything. I have plenty of yellow poplar also and I've found that it likes to warp a good bit. Otherwise, once its dried out, it's a good solid wood.
Yep, that pine sap can sometimes be a bear! I'm still experimenting with different concoctions in the lube tank, to try and cut down on it. I agree on the poplar, very versatile lumber. Thanks for the comment!
Does your tensioner have any springs or just direct? I like the moveable toe board. There was quite a bit of tension. Old logs are sometimes just the opposite, but that's what keeps it interesting.
You ask me every day what to wear thing by now you would know it is clothes lol you will cry am whimper the log has dirt on it yea we heard it all before smart guy would have built a set of Dolley wheels to put the log on and be able to be strapped down you would not have to pull it throw the dr=irt then yea you welcome the idea

Thanks! Yep, some logs have a lot of tension, others not so much. Thank you for commenting!
That was the perfect log to demonstrate the stress factor. Congratulations on over 1K subscribers.
Yeah, I knew when I made that first cut and divided the cant that I was in for it! Lol.. thanks John!
Love the toe board. 👍

The belt tensioner on our mill doesn't use springs, just pull it tight and snug it down. Thanks for the comment!

You're describing a log arch, and yep, we have a build coming up just for that! Thanks for the comment
