Stage and Stack Processed Logs

Gathering Up Saw logs on the farm...a simple life away from the rat race
What happens here
After the logs have been bucked into shorter lengths, the John Deere tractor's front-end loader with the grapple attachment is used to efficiently move these cut sections. The grapple allows for precise handling, first by picking up logs and potentially placing them onto sawbucks to facilitate any further cutting or simply to clear them from the ground. Once cut to their final desired length, multiple logs are then picked up by the grapple and transported across the field to a designated staging area. Here, they are neatly dropped and stacked, creating organized piles of sawlogs or firewood ready for the next stage of processing, such as splitting, loading onto a truck, or direct sale.
Goal: Organize and stack the cut logs in a central location
