The point of loading logs in Riverwood

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I'm not talking about cutting wood, but on the platform you can load a log into some contraption that will push it through a saw and it will cut the log in half.

Do I get anything for doing this?

I don't think so. This appears to be an action included in the game to give the appearance of NPC's working in day-to-day jobs. Other examples include pushing a grain mill, or the NPC-only sweeping the floor, stacking firewood or tilling the fields.
