The tractor we were using will pick up over 2000 lbs and it would not budge this section so I had to cut in in half and it still would not pick it up but we were able to skid it out once we cut it in half. I don't know how big the log is but for reference I am 6'4". BTW, I am wearing hearing and eye protection. Also, the saw I was using is giving me some trouble so I posted a thread in the equipment section.
