Yes,very relaxing and enjoyable, to me anyhow.That's pretty cool. Bet it's nice skidding logs and listening to the jangle of tack instead of a diesel droning on.

Its been close to 50years since I did anything like that, and not much of it then. We used a old ford dexter with a homemade logging winch in the 70's and stepped up to a D2 cat with a winch. Late 70's to mid 90's we used bigstick and kennemer cable loaders. Dads health failing and sold everything by the late 90's. What I found sort of interesting is my BIL told me he bought a old Kennemer loader a while back he was going to fix up and use to gather dead wood on the farm. When I went to look at it, its the same loader Dad bought new years ago. Some times, things you have long forgot about just keep turning up.View attachment 545646 Little so,but we get it done.
I used to get a little uneasy when people would stop and watch me working, thinking that they might be judging me a little, but then I realized most of them haven't seen it before. I have met some really great people and heard some really good stories from passers-by's. View attachment 546245
Lefturnfreek, careful what you wish for, habit forming and highly addictive, like the first time you kissed a girl, all you can think about..That is so awesome to see. We breed, break, train, give riding lessons, board .... you name it with horses, wife's side of the business, but we don't have a team to pull, yet.... she's talked bout it. We have flat dragged some logs but I found it didn't save me any work as they were small compared to that "twig" you got there.....
As usual.... Keep on .... Runnin' Loads .....
