    Best way to get the logs out useing an ATV

    I got it from novajack.com it also has a removable dump box. There is some more pics here http://www.arboristsite.com/firewood-heating-wood-burning-equipment/143850-4.htm I usually save the smaller logs and load them last. When they're too heavy to load by hand I winch them on the same way...

    Best way to get the logs out useing an ATV

    It's just a pipe with a couple of stiff springs on it that fits inside another pipe. It also rotates 360* in case the trailer rolls over it doesn't flip the four wheeler too. Are thinking about building one?

    Best way to get the logs out useing an ATV

    How about a small forwarding trailer, that's what I use. If you can pull alongside the trees right where you drop them you could load em up dirt free. They're easier to buck up because they're off the ground and it's way more productive than a log arch where you're pulling one or two trees at...

    Little Yellow Skidder

    I'm a bit west of Thunder Bay . One more caution with the tracks, stay away from the slush. You'll get bogged down real quick.It will turn your bike into a big block of ice. Lakes around here have a lot of slush this year.

    WOW...Log truck close call (Video)

    I think this happened in Sweden. Looked like the truck just came up over a hill??? He was sure sawing on the steering wheel. White knuckles for sure! "Timber truck comes way too fast to an accident scene and swerves to avoid a car stopped at the roadside not quite making it. No further...

    I've got a capstan with 300' of 1/2" rope and a couple snatch blocks,don't know how I lived without one for so long.It's a Honda 4stroke, starts first pull every time and runs forever on a tank of gas.Works great for pulling down hung up trees too. If you've got a spare powerhead the Lewis...

    Little Yellow Skidder

    rottimam - tracks are awesome, you're gonna love them. I've been running them for five winters now,never had any drive-line issues or problems with parts wearing out prematurely. Just make sure they're adjusted properly before you head out riding. I threw one once because there was too much...

    How do you haul your saw and gear on your atv?

    bowtech - they're first gen Tatou tracks. I think Camoplast owns that company now. Tracks are awesome on a quad, pretty much go anywhere and way more pulling power than tires. The down side is a bit harder to steer,burn more gas and top speed goes down. I top out around 40-45 mph on hard pack...

    How do you haul your saw and gear on your atv?

    Stihlman - I had a spare winch and the rear bumper was already setup with a mount so it seemed like a good idea. These Cats are heavy pigs and when you get stuck...you're stuck. Sometimes it's just easier to pull yourself out backwards, it has saved me a lot of grief more than once. bass on...

    How do you haul your saw and gear on your atv?

    bass_on_tap - I don't have a clue what that load weighed. The heaviest load I've pulled was this load of gravel.

    ATV log hauler?

    It doesn't have hydraulics like the trailers your looking at but I've been using the Novajack forestry trailer for the past five years and absolutely love it. I pull around 30+ loads of Jackpine a year, usually 12 or 15 footers. If the trails are muddy or the terrain is hilly I load 9 footers...
