Getting more wood for families.

Looks like you had a good day.

I don't want to sound like a safety nut but from the picture you posted it is very dangerous to skid logs fron a 3 point impliment that is raised as shown .Trust me I was skidding logs and one caught on a stump i didn't see and in a flash i was looking at the sky. I was luckey that time.

i skid the same way at times...other times if not pressed for time i skid this way

You sure had good weather day,lot easier that snow not knee deep or better this time of year.

Now that's the way my grandfather logged. Then move to tractors and rear blade and logging chains.

My family logged with a rear blade sense the late 80's on the back of the 3pt hitch. It simple way then spending 3,000 or more logging winch. Knock on wood never hit a stump have a **** chains saw to cut the stumps flush to the ground.

Looks like Maine is having a "January thaw" too.

I don't see it a problem as long as your top link is extended enough to allow the blade to act as a wheelie bar. I use my box scraper and go up very steep hills.

Hey grsthegreat ---great looking team. Are they Haflilngers? They are beautiful. Must be fun, I am envious.
