I must be missing something. If you figure out the Board Feet of that log it will only yield the equivalent of about 35 - 2X4X8's. I would think any pickup would be able to handle to handle a small load like that.

As I recall, one cubic foot of agate weighs about 300 pounds. Get that log rolling at around 15 mph and that is a lot of kinetic energy. I know for a fact that it mangled the cab of his truck.

I was working on a powerhouse where an electrician crew was trying to pull three 250 mcm cables through a pipe from the roof where they set up the reels, to the basement.
With a string they pulled the rope up, tied on the cable, took three wraps around the tugger head and started pulling. With about 25 ft of cable in the pipe, the reels on top got away from the men supposedly tending them.

Luckily the men down below ran from the small room they were working in when the rope started falling out of the pipe. Seconds later that room was filled with all the now ruined cable from the three reels.

So then you are telling me that I can't use the pre rock, when it was a tree, weight if I am going to do something that stupid. Who wood-a thunk that. Probably have to take that gravity thing into consideration also. .

I have seen that same thing with smaller wire. Funny what gravity can do............................MrP

I remembered wrong.

Pound per cubic foot 162.318 lb/ft³

Agate

The density, or more precisely, the volumetric mass density of agate is 2600 kg/m³. This means that the mass of 1 m³ agate is 2600 kg.

The weight (on earth) of 1 m³ agate is 25506 N or 25,506 kN.

What is the density of agate in other common units?

Is he loading that into a car trunk?

Many moons ago a fellow construction worker bought a brand new pickup. The following Monday he drove his old wreck to work.
"Where's your new truck?"
"I took it out into the hills where I knew there was petrified wood. We found a nice log about three feet long and two feet in diameter. We dug into the hillside and backed the truck up perfect. Let the tail gate down, then levered the log into position and started it rolling - right into the bed and on into the front seat."

He is not a wise man who cannot play the fool on occasion. -Thomas Fuller
None can play the fool as well as a wise man.

The song from the cd, so i thought i would post it since none else has it.

LYRICS: Said the man
Who feel him a fool
For he be the wiseman
For the man
Who don't think he's a fool he
Control his destiny
But he's too cool for himself
For himself
For himself
All i need
Is something to keep me movin' on
In a world
Where violence reigns
And everybody seems so strange to me
Said the man
Who feel him a fool
For he be the wise man
For the man
Who dont feel him a fool he
Control his destiny
Yeah he's too cool for himself
For himself
For himself
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh oh
These weapons of destruction
Is why these peoples suffering
And no confusion
You aint winnin' if your losin'
We don't need
Said the man
Who feel him a fool he
For he be the wiseman
For the man
Who don't think he's a fool he
Control his destiny
But he's too cool for himself
For himself
For himself
Oh
