I'm hoping to start using my John Deere 40T this summer and want to use it for firewood. I hear a lot about using it to skid logs out in 8-10' sections, then cutting them up near the truck, then loading the truck. I already have a trailer (made from a datsun pickup bed) for the 40T. Is there any reason I couldn't just cut the wood up to firewood length and then load the trailer? It makes sense to do it that way to me, and basically gets rid of the possibility of flipping the tractor over (sometimes this happens when skidding logs if it catches).
**edit**
Also, I was thinking if I load the trailer up like this, maybe I could find a way to switch the loaded trailer from the 40T to my truck, then haul it off.
