This piece of silver maple is about 12' long by 4'6 diameter. The excitement of getting this was way over shadowed by the feeling it was too heavy to haul in one piece. My guess is 10,500 lbs. By the end of the trip, about 55 miles, I was hitting highway speeds. I still have to get it off the trailer and haul the rest of the tree which will be two more loads. At that point I should actually be smiling.
That's not me falling the tree, I prefer to wear a hard hat.
