Over the past couple months I've been doing some cutting around my property, mostly the thin the woods out, but I'm also hoping to make a little money off some of the wood. Right now its just me working on weekends, and some nights after work with a headlamp. I am hauling the logs around by digging my pulp hook into the ones I can't lift and dragging them inch by inch through the snow. When I get going down hill and pack a nice trail it gets a little easier, but I was hoping someone could help me figure out and easier way (but still not to pricey) on getting these logs around. The one's I've been wrestling around are only cut at 8ft, but in order to make some money they need to be 12ft minimum, and hauling around a 12ft log with my pulp hook is definitely not going to be easy. If I can skid them out of the woods I can hook onto them with my truck and haul them down toward my house. But I guess what I want to know is there an easier way to move these logs around. Or should I just break down and buy a tractor. Thanks alot.
