i have 70 acres of aspen that i am thinning. i am only taking the dead and downed trees. all the ones that i fell, i leave tree length or half tree length. the problem i have is that there are alot of short logs already on the ground. most all of it goes to firewood so the short lengths are usable. i use a cable skidder with 9 chokers. to the back of the property is about 3/8 of a mile. the skid road is too steep and rocky to get a truck into the woods. currently i hook up a couple of long ones and then hook up 2 or 3 bundles of short logs. it is not very efficient. anybody have a technique or tool for moving lots of 3' to 8' logs. trailer?
