You forgot about bust out teeth when it snaps back, and make you trip.

Ok one of you SOB's owes me 12 minutes of my life back . I'm upset with myself for watching the entire thing . We are all now collectively dumber having watched this . ..... This video should have a FDA warning label that it may kill brain cells !!!
That being said last Sumer a local homeowner was killed dropping trees in his back yard . The photo in the paper showed the tree stump. Yup a sloping back cut ..
On another note I'm sure if you calmly told that fella in the vid that he is playing with fire , he would not take it to heart . Now if you called him a retarded idiot and asking what the f he thinks he is doing , he may take the warning more seriously . Saying nothing if it's not going to be nice does not apply to safety .

will you get a veneer log price on that?

 

[tnlogger]

No but will fetch more than best 1 grade red oak. If u look its got a couple small spots in it. Big stick though fetch a good amount the way it is.

 

[coltont]

That big red oak can really tend to soak up ground mineral.

 

[treeslayer2003]

yep, lotta feet in it. it would be a matt log here

 

[tnlogger]

Whats a matt log??

 

[coltont]

A low grade log they saw boards out of and bolt them together to form kind of a bridge. They work good for places with very hydric soil.

 

[tnlogger]

Dang that's what they would use a log like this for there!!!! Glad I ain't there that log will bring 1.20 to 1.25 here so they 'll bet about 600 dollars or more in that butt log.

 

[coltont]

They buy matt logs by weight

 

[coltont]

I think it ranges from 30 some too 50 some $$ a ton here

 

[treeslayer2003]

350 and up per thousand.........big matt logs bring more. crane matts are high. well, if you break it down, a load of that would be what? 6-7 trees........it almost worth the same as a matt. gotta market what ya got

 

[tnlogger]

Well I guess so.... a 30 ton load of mat logs at 50 a ton bring y'all 1500 a 5000 ft load of logs like that here bring ya 4200 to 5200 weird how markets are so different from there to here huh
