    You should get a couple of short, removable forks to go on your bucket, to make it easier to help keep the logs on the bucket when you tip it back to transport them to your log pile. You and your neighbor did a great job at taking down the trees that were a threat to your house during a high wind storm.
    Love and Peace. Blessed Be. Doug.

    Happy Easter! You guys really need a log caddy. It rolls over your log and it attachs on two points lifting the log off the ground. So its like a wheel barrel. And you could move the logs with your tractor or your four wheeler.

      We actually had a county road worker die from a log rolling back on the driver when he was trying to clear a fallen tree on a road, SO BE VERY CAREFUL! All it takes is a tire to hit a rock or something to cause the log to roll.

    This burned Finnish will be a good start to protect the 4×4 posts for your new barn. Have a good day. Tom in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border.

    I have fell timber for a many years over the years, remembering back when I thought I was all that and a bag of chips too... well I took a job falling timber, (the actual word felling is just goofy to my ears cause when a go down on my butt in the ice, I call it "Falling down" so whats the diff?) so I was saying that I took a real job falling trees as I was considered by many as quite good at taking down trees in different job sites that were a problem for some person and they would all call me. I get out on the job site and hiking into the forest where such work to preform was done... noticed my breath was getting to me as I was a smoker, and all the sudden getting out to where we would cut timber... it was a bigger challenge than suspected at first. I give myself credit for lasting two weeks before I fired myself. Not only did I have trees that made your blood run cold, you had to fly at it with determination plus speed was quite important. I did not even come close to hurting myself or anyone near me but I couldn't breath, every muscle in my body was crying like a wimp and I knew if I stayed on, I would eventually kill myself as confidence was waning fast. I was smart and let others in great health do this job.. my son who is just now sixty himself heats with wood, and I taught him falling tree 101. 1 as it is a dangerous job. The young fellow helping you does it different than I would but no two tree fellers are the same. Its caution before determination every time, no ifs or buts to it. I keep hoping that you will weld some hooks on your bucket to hook chain to and keep the logs held and safer from tipping from the bucket at the very worst time... the worst time is always when stuff goes south. Or you could weld some chains on different spots on the bucket so you could hook a binder to it and make the log secured and much safer... Greg, you are considered a mans man... bull strong and Katie couldn't find a guy in this whole world who loves her any more than you do. So if a log fell and hit her... she might most likely have a bruise or three. Girls are tougher than we guys think... even so, If she did get hurt when it could be avoided, it would hurt you more than Katie as she would forgive you but knowing you, it would always be there bugging you on why did I not do better for your Katie. Not harping Greg, just looking out for you as a friend from a distance. just some short pieces of chain on say the corners and then if they are not long enough, you could always hook a short piece of chain that also has a hook so it can grab the shorter chain to make up the difference. Just some ideas for you to ponder on.... not a go out and get it done before breathing but a little thing that when done will make you feel safer and most of all keep from hurting even a puppy that runs out and you lose a log off of the bucket.

    Just to put an idea forward, the chips could be put in sacks and sold. Gardeners, people with driveways, paths may buy the chips.
