About 25 miles South of you.
Are you near Sister Lakes?
Check out Logrite's Fetching arch on line. If interested you can look at mine, but, I am not interested in lending it out. I believe it would do what you want if there is enough firewood to merit the cost. One advantage is keeping the log cleaner for bucking. Combine the arch with the portable capstan winch, and the atv hitch for the arch, you could run 16' logs completely suspended, right up to the house with the smaller tractor. That package, winch/fetching arch, would probably set you back $4000., but your logs would be clean.
The logging arch sounds like a fine idea; in practice it can be more of a PITA getting it to the log to attach and pull out. We tried one awhile ago for firewood, pulp, and some sawlogs with the ATV. But getting the arch to the log in thick and uneven ground took more time than what I've done over the past decade: Fell, buck, hump, trailer for firewood harvested only in winter. Lower tech and does the job. Spend the money betting on the Patriots Sunday.
Anyone ?
You know why the Packers didn't make it ?
It's those yellow triangles you fans wear. :hmm3grin2orange:
