Holy crap, that's a lot of wood!!! Someone should tell them to turn off the sprinklers - I don't think those trees will be growing any more. :tongue::biggrin:

I wonder if they make a lift kit like the Track Hoe has for a Chevy.

I'll take blanks #18930183634, 182764536729376 and 8372551262265.:biggrin:

Hey, I wanted those blanks, but I'll settle for another couple of piles

Sorry, that first one is taken, but there are still some nice ones left ...

That is a lot of lumber. No mention of what they are doing with it.

Just need a little gas and a match and wa-la, worlds biggest bonfire.:devil:

I think the picture shows the unloading dock for a toothpick factory.

That's one million cubic meters of wood. Imagine your first day in hell:

:devil:"Your first job is to make an infinite number of pine slimlines, bushing to bushing and you are not allowed to sharpen your skew.":devil:

Yea and it says in the article they were all blowdowns.....from a tornado.

Ok...Time for a little perspective, here. If each of these trees represented a $100 bill, This pile still wouldn't be enough money to pay one year's interest on America's national debt.

Staggering, isn't it

 

[Smitty37]

There isn't that much money in the world....all currencies included.

 

[Wood Butcher]

So.....why are WE selling lumber to China? Seems to me this would be available at really good prices. Wonder if they accept PayPal? Hmmmm.
