Here's the set up local loggers use.
Usually a tractor, but i don't own one. But i have 3 people within a mile that do the hauling for me. Did use the car trailer a couple of times, but can only fit about a tonne of wood on that and i can't get close on most of our land, mostly hills and crappy "roads".
Here's a pic of some cut up tops on the trailer and the neighbors antonio carraro with the 4t winch and a big car trailer, its a small, agile and there's not much it won't do if you know what you're doing. If you get stuck just handbrake the trailer, unhook it, drive away and winch it forward. You can get twice the weight of the tractor up some slippery and steep roads that way.

I haven't any pictures but I use a Yanmar US35 (same exact tractor as a JD 990 except red) MFWD with a loader that has a skid steer quick change on it. I took a front plate and forks from a fork lift so I can set the width of the forks and pick up around a grand in weight. It won't pick up logs but I've never found a block it won't handle. I also have a grapple for the front loader but find the forks easier to use for logs and the handle more weight.
Ok, I did find a picture, not very flattering but a picture indeed......
You're supposed to back in Barney #### happens :msp_thumbup:
I usually carry my stuff to the road, but from the backyard up to the house i use this.
Don't mean to derail the thread, but how do you like the LED lights on the Grizzly?
You got some real nice equipment to get your firewood out, you paid cash for it I'm assuming
Of course! Loggers are just rolling in money. Everybody knows that. Or thinks they do. :msp_rolleyes:
Actually, none of the stuff I posted in those three pictures belongs to me. I've operated, driven, or run all of them at one time or another, but none of them are mine. Mine are ugly and some are quite old...but they are paid for.
