One of these lifetimes, I'm going to buy a house and build a deck then stay in it long enough to replace my own work, This has to be the fourth deck I have had to gut and redo in my 59+ years on earth. Anyway, here is the 520 Loader Tractor at work for a change. I cross-stacked the planks and put as many small boards in the bucket then stacked on the ones sticking out and tilted the bucket back as far as it would go. Made around five trips plus used it to unseat a pier they decided to concrete in rather than sit or bolt on. I have no idea how much weight is on it. Most of the planks are 10 to 12 footers
We had no snow here over the winter so the loader hasn't had much work since last summer and early fall. It is sporting the Fourth of July flags early.
PS...Yes I still have logs to cut and split and fungus removal on the shed roof to complete! :< ) That red birch log weighs a ton!
