i see the post about transporting sawing items into the woods, how about getting the wood out of the forest? i use my four wheeler and a trailer and pull up to 6 good size logs at a time.
40hp tractor and a 20' truck soon going to have a 15' conveyor to load the truck after splitting...
am i the only one that splits onsite?
Does your truck have a dump body? I like the idea of getting the wood split right away.
I haul my firewood out of the woods using a Polaris UTV, It holds a thousand pounds and the dump is balanced where you can tip the load out by hand. I used to use a Ford 1310 4x4 tractor, but it would occasionally get stuck in the swamps and I'd have to dump the loader full of firewood in the swamp in order to get unstuck. The Polaris has never gotten stuck yet, knock on wood...
I go in the woods after it. Old trucks are worth their weight in gold for this. Scratches, dents, don't care. :msp_smile:
I carry it out on my shoulder, then throw it into my truck. Like I've been doing since the 70's!
We try to get a load on...less running back and forth that way.
