Tractor wouldn't lift the stem in 1. About 12-14' long and mostly about 42" thick.

 

Tractor has a bucket grab for the front which helps when moving awkward stuff. A proper hiab would have handled the stem fine but can only work with what's available! Got them into our trailer which took up 80% of the room. Big lumps of wood!

Your probably right at 3 ton. Tractor will do about 1.5t on the loader and it was just managing with the log in half. It's got some lovely markings in it. Ideal tabletop size.
