Log Pickup and Unloading: A Routine Day at the Sawmill.

Today we are going to a job site to retrieve logs. This was a small job, so we used our Bobcat S250 with the grapple bucket to move the logs to a loading area for the log truck to pickup. Then, it was back to the homestead to watch a skilled logger unload the logs from the log truck for sawing at the sawmill.

Make it a Great Day!

8 00:00:35,267 --> 00:00:36,000 tree trunks
9 00:00:37,867 --> 00:00:39,901 that are left behind after we cleaned up the log
10 00:00:44,301 --> 00:00:48,534 here's the logs stacked and ready for a log truck to be

15 00:01:05,134 --> 00:01:09,201 here we've loaded up the Bobcat S250 with the grapple shovel on the front
16 00:01:10,434 --> 00:01:12,601 that's what we used to move all these logs around
17 00:01:12,767 --> 00:01:14,367 and position everything properly
18 00:01:14,967 --> 00:01:16,134 clean up all the debris
19 00:01:17,534 --> 00:01:20,000 so I got it back on a trailer again getting ready for

26 00:02:08,101 --> 00:02:10,334 these loggers operate those
27 00:02:10,734 --> 00:02:12,934 arms as if it's a part of their own body
28 00:02:15,567 --> 00:02:18,467 stay tuned for some of the other action around the farm here
29 00:02:19,567 --> 00:02:22,467 as we do have a sawmill we'll put some of these logs you just seen
30 00:02:23,301 --> 00:02:25,000 on the mill make some boards out of them
31 00:02:27,201 --> 00:02:30,134 and show you all that content and then we
32 00:02:30,234 --> 00:02:31,634 also do what splitting
