THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD....SKIDDING HUGE OAK LOGS ALONE!
What happens here
After the Kubota RTV fails to pull the entire large log, the presenter uses the Husqvarna 572 XP chainsaw to cut the approximately 16-17 foot log into two 8-foot sections. He measures one section to be 8 feet and 7 inches, leaving extra length to account for shrinkage and checking during drying. He demonstrates the use of the LogOx cant hook to roll a log section out of the ditch.
Goal: Break down large logs into manageable sizes and position them for extraction.
