Google an outfit called Nova Jack.
That think looks like a bed pan.

Just one look at that thing and I can tell I will never grow-up,,,,,,, that thing is just made to be towed behind a snow-mo-bill 4 wheeler or a horse!
A frozen lake would add extra points!

Pasture skiing!!! When we go out to flood-irrigate our pasture my boy likes to get towed behind the quad...that gadget would be a lot better than the piece of plywood we use now. But back to the thread...snipe the end of the log or get yourself a skidder or anything that elevates the end of the log. Too much ground skidding tears up the soil and contaminates the log with dirt and rock that shorten your chain life.ShoerFast said:
Yeah, but if you say it anywhere theres logging on the west coast they'll know what you mean. I had an uncle who's first job in the woods ,probably in the late 1800s,was sniping the skid end of redwood logs so the ox teams could pull them easier. Did his snipes with an ax...those guys were tough.clearance said:

You quoted a post from 2006. I believe the site was hacked and photos were lost between then and now. You might try another search, I know this has been discussed since then. There are pictures out there. Good luck.
I have heard you can use a traffic cone.... I have a winch so I have never needed one.
Google 'skidding cone', or find yourself a plastic barrel, preferably the ones with a slight taper to the bottoms. I spent nearly two Summers worth of weekends and one clutch, pulling pines off a steep slope with a rope and my truck, back in the day. With no real lift to speak of the plastic drum was a superb help (not perfect though) at snaking the logs around stumps, etc.
We use yarding cones very often when winching logs out of the woods doing selective cutting. They are easy to make from 16 gauge steel.
