[QUOTE="joesawer, post: 834578, member: 14674"] I don't know what a massey harris 10 hp tractor is, but it would probably pull more than any ATV. You are simply are not going to skid 3' diameter logs with any atv. A duece and a halve GI truck would pull a lot more but they are not very monuverable, would break a lot of parts and don't have power steering. For what you would spend on either a 2 1/2 ton or an atv, I would suggest a used farm tractor in the 50+ hp size. It will not do anywhere near what a skidder will do, but it will out class the other two by a huge margin for skidding logs. [/QUOTE]
