how do you transport your wood out of the forest?

[Ctd01]

A couple of good buddys and a dodge v10!

I carry it out on my shoulder, then throw it into my truck. Like I've been doing since the 70's!

That's how I do it too.
geoff.

1995 GMC 3500 4x4 and a 3/4 ton pickup bed trailer. I also split in the woods sometimes.

The Great White Hope, my 96 dodge 4x4 works as my pack mule. Sometimes I'll take the splitter to the woods and split.

I like this hybrid, semi-flotation system. There's a few bugs to work out yet. The water makes the wood easier to split.

I do the same thing! jus depends how big, and how far from the truck is, I can usually get my little brothers to help out also haha

Log Skid

I built the 3-point arm with Logging Tongs ( 6-28 inch diameter log). Notice the rope to pull apart tongs - you don't get off tractor to hookup or unhook - this has saved a lot of time. I cleared 10.5 acres with this setup.

My alder firewood is coming out this way.

Either Massey Ferguson 1433 or International 1066...we are a farm here first, logging a part of that but not the primary part.

Firewood at times done this way..and then most of the time the subsequent pics

Log Man, that is a setup that i need to replicate, great idea.

In the back of my '67 F250 High Boy. Or my '79 C10. Depending on which one has more fuel in it.

Wood Hauler

I use my 17 year old son to drag the wood out of the woods.

 

[Peterwick]

Pasquali!

I am lucky enough to have the worlds greatest tractor (IMO) I don't do much "logging" just firewood and estate work. 38 hp articulting locking 4WD- just point it where you want to go. Sometimes I even cut the trees first- Then I haul with my Toro Workman, after cut to length.

Here's how I usually roll. Light load here, the aluminum trailer (3500# axle) is hooked up to my Jeep that doesn't have the circuit for the electric trailer brakes. Just replaced the Jeep with an '05 Silverado 4x4, so the loads will get bigger. Nice thing about the trailer is that it's so light and balanced that we can unhitch and reposition it before loading up if needed.

It depends on whether I am going to deliver the load immediately, in which case I have a tilt bed trailer I pull behind my tractor. The trailer balances on its axle, so once I get it out of the woods and onto the driveway, I can switch it to my truck for delivery run. But if I am just pulling it to a consolidation point for bucking, splitting, stacking, ... I just throw a chain on it and skid it with the JD x728:

I get a $20 permit and collect my firewood in the Nicolet National Forest in Northeast Wisconsin. I can only take standing dead, and downed trees less than 18" in diameter. They have to be within 150 ft of a fireroad. No vehicles are allowed in the forest. So I have to cut the tree. Then buck it. Then carry the individual rounds back to my truck, over uneven terrain and through brush. Some of these rounds are 60 to 80 lbs! It's a workout!

I'm gonna get me a log arch.

Wha-da-ya-thunk?

Hey it might me slow but it works.

I like, if the proper conditions are present, running cable from one big tree to another, and with slings, running a log along a cable. This is especially effective for dealing with water crossings, and of course it's best if you let gravity do the work, as in set up your cable with some common sense. I regularly move 10' logs with this.
