For a long time I've been cutting 4' logs in the woods and hauling them, in a 2wd Ford truck, to the landing. Since purchasing a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Magnum, I began hauling tree length. The Dodge would have cost more $$ to make road worthy then I wanted to spend, so I turned it into a woods truck. That thing is a tank, and is the best $800 I ever spent. I have found it considerably faster and a lot easier on the body, hauling tree length and processing at the landing. Which begs the question, how do you guys get your firewood out of the woods, and how do you process it?
I skid near tree length logs with a tractor and split on the landing. When it's all split I then trailer to the wood pile.
