So what up with the tree length poplar logs do they buck em at the mill or what??

 

[tnlogger]

Yea ill post a pic of it tomorrow it's laying at the boom awaiting the ride to the mill, it cleaned up slick, what funny is u ain't really gotta clean much up right now as much mud as we got just drag em a couple hundred yards and u couldn't find a knot with magnifying glass!!

 

[treeslayer2003]

they go to an exporter, he will get about 5 grades out of that load. they around 50' long. i tried just selling butts and tops, it averages out better this way. i don't get that impressive butt log load but i don't get any crappy saw logs load either.

I fine it neat logging is so different bout anywhere u go if I was to haul in tree lenght logs I doubt they would unload me at the mill.

Why don't you guys run Turkey racks instead of hay rack trailers?

????? its a pole trailer

 

[Skeans]

Turkey rack sits in the bunk of a standard long logger for doing short wood, I just meant instead of all the fifth wheel since they don't follow you as well.

dot won't allow that here any more
years ago we had just a tandem with a bunk and a bunk on the fifth, trees the frame. them guys took 90' pileing to NY
there is two pivot points!

 

[Skeans]

The bunks are bolted to the frame, the bunks on the truck and trailer both pivot. Inside the reach is what's called a compensator to all extension well turn. I'll look and see if I have a picture of the turkey racks.
