[QUOTE="beastmaster, post: 3940150, member: 11550"] Shaun, we do a lot of land maintenance where we thin out stands of trees, only a few here and there, but often times there isn't access for a chipper and truck. We use a bobcat with a winch on the front and either drag or winch them out no problem. It's a pain sometimes if you have to drag them down a winding road, you may have to re-rig when you get to the "kink" in the driveway. If you lay everything out right you can pile brush on the big wood and get a lot out with each drag. On a road or drive way a big truck or strong 4 wd should do it. You could also set up a long re-direct with a pulley to get more pulling power if needed. A skidder is good if you have to pull them over really rough ground, but I don't think you'd need it for dragging down a smooth driveway. May be overkill. [/QUOTE]
