These aren't as big as RandyMacs logs but there's a whole bunch of them.

Cedar, 2012, just slightly over loaded.

Mixed load of pine with a pine peaker...heavy.

Legal load...just a little side heavy. And no, I didn't load that one. :msp_rolleyes:

Gologit- great pics. What is a pine peaker ? I see the massive pre-cut but what does peaker mean?

It's Left Coast logger slang...means the top log on any load, usually centered.

Gologit have you felled any old growth?

I miss log trucking some days. Never hauled anything like in those pics, just east coast hardwoods. Had a load of hardwood poles on once...25 footers... She started to slide the rear end around on me when I was coming to a stop not much you can do other than let off the brakes and on the jake and ride it out or let off all the brakes and get it back to straight and hope for the best lol. It will put pucker in the seat thats for sure lol

Not lately. I finished some stuff last month and I don't have anything on the books 'til this fall.

Right now I'm working very hard at being semi retired and discovering what it's like to have leisure time during the summer. I like it.

I usually fall a few OG pine (like the peaker on the log truck) and cedar every year. Not a lot, but some. Most of what I do now is falling behind a feller buncher, taking the stuff that's too big for them or is on ground too steep for them to work safely.

I haven't dropped an OG Redwood in the last few years but that's how I started out in this business.
