Ya do whatchya gotta do!
Definitely well beyond the bike's GVWR, but by the way they were picking up an end of each log, I'd guess they're not more than about 500-600 lbs each, which puts the total load on the bike at about 1350 lbs tops. Since they're only riding at walking speed, there's not a lot of dynamic stress on the bike's components, but I'm sure something on the bike will probably break sooner than normal.

Lol. Love it. It's crazy, probably dangerous and ballsy.
I used to log with my crappy little lawnmower. Probably killed it that way.
Dragged gum tree's over grass okay though.
I built a tree house for my daughter with them. Termites got it in the end.

Eek! I'm not brave enough for that. I have, however, been hauling 100+ pound loads of logs with a bicycle trailer... up to about 6 miles. It's not too difficult if the trailer is loaded properly and the granny gears are used on any hills.
