tri-axle load of logs

[DBoon]

I live in a condo, so I can’t just have logs “dumped” in my drive. If I can get them around to the back, I could process them there.

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that if you live in a condo, a log load is probably not for you...

How heavy are these log lengths?

Manuevering the truck will be issue if tight. Also pretty deep ruts if grass..If truck can get in, try to coordinate when ground is frozen, maybe next winter at this rate. We used to have the truck drive right on the lawn when we used to buy logs.

I had to sign a contract when my grapple load was delivered. It spelled out the weight of the loaded truck (70,000 pounds) and said not responsible for crushed driveways. They said they needed a minimum 14 feet from ground to power lines. The biggest log was 48 inches diameter! Most were 10-20 inchers. Everyone should experience that feeling of watching a grapple load get dumped on his property, its kind of exhilarating. My Neighbors think I'm nuts. :smirk:

I couldn't agree any more.

I take my delivery in the Winter on frozen ground so the weight of the truck is never a problem. With the first load I ordered from my latest supplier, he asked a lot of questions like how wide my driveway was, the height of overhead lines, room for turning, etc. A scout came ahead to check out the area I wanted the truck to go. I had kept the snow off the area for over a month to let the frost set and got a kick out of the guy jumping around testing how hard the ground was.

That looks too fun and too easy. You are eliminating all the hassle. Yea I am jealous, but I just have too much I have to cut, I can barely see the sunlight here.

Man that is one beautiful sight Those shorter lengths are nicer to deal with as well...
