What happens here

Stanley identifies a large black walnut log from a pile as the target for milling. A Bobcat T66 skid steer, fitted with a grapple attachment, is then expertly maneuvered to carefully select and lift this heavy log. The log is precisely positioned and placed onto the bed of the Wood-Mizer LT40 Wide hydraulic sawmill. They note that the log's substantial size might make it challenging to fit on the sawmill for optimal cutting.

Goal: Prepare the chosen log for the initial milling process.
