It was only 44” on the big end. Not 48” Tape measure are hard for people to use im learning.
Its was not that bad. Back the trailer up to it. Yes, I mill by myself only. I do have a winch now if I need it, but this one was not to bad loading.
Yes there was metal in this one. I decide to mill it anyway. One nail found and 2 bolts.
Bad day for the saw tho. I think i cracked the muffler. Had to stop. Ill go back to get the rest of the log. Got just past 1/2 way. 6 slabs so far at 2.25” . Checking out the saw today.
