I got a couple questions about my health and wereabouts. I’m just fine, but just like Kristijan, I’ve been super busy lately and haven’t found the time to post much.
During our US stay father-in-law’s cancer condition worsened with a mild stroke, which pretty much put him to bed. Wife stays put at their farm 50 miles away and I try to run inbetween to maintain both properties (burning a lot of wood doing so).
While back home I’m mostly into forestry at the moment. Parked the two-wheel tractor when I stumbeled on some 24" dia timber. Had to bring in the heavy equipment (20 hp Fergie ).
I’m the little guy with the chainsaw on top of that spruce. For comparison the tractor trailer has standard car tires.
My father (the great grandfather) helped out and is striking a pose on the last pic
Looks like you are going to have a lot of boards to do something with come fall. To bad the last picture didn’t come out as sharp as the others. The grass is so green and the hot house and your saw mill, yea and your father. Good to see it isn’t snow all year round. I was concerned about your health. Thanks for the pictures.
Tom, I’m not quite sure what you mean by a walking beam.
I do use the arch as a leverage tool for loading the tractor trailer from time to time, if that’s what you mean.
I was wondering about that myself. I like big semi truck sized tires on a log arch. Especially for horses. Small tires can let an arch flip over too easily and can hurt horses… Never used one with a tractor though.
Also, I don’t see the hopper on that thing.???

That would help, only I like to be able to lift the arch in place by hand to straddle a log. Something like lightweight motorbike tires would fit my needs.
Haha! Your right, no hopper. Yet
Haha, I’ve got several old Husqvarna (Swedish quality ). The little Sthil saw was a present from wifes family when I turned 40 I think. Very lightweight. Perfect for delimbing.
Wife happened to get a glimpse of us coming back from an evening midsummer tour around the village. Kids and their kids in the porch furniture on the trailer
I really like that thing. I need one to move around a man-lift I recently acquired. Would be great for construction jobs and moving loads of materials around the lot, etc. Good Job!.
