I think most of the Fences put up along the Blue ridge Parkway were made of Black Locust, and most of those are still there, in %100 condition.
Also, I heard black locust is second only to red oak for BTU per dried firewood pound.

Another vote for the chains here.
I use 3/8 G70 chain. I like the ability to hook at several different lengths if desired.
I also like the ability to chain as short as possible and rais the 3PH. This adds weight to the rear and also gets the log out of the muck. With the FEL on, it keeps enough weight over the front axle to steer and not flip. Disclaimer: This is very dangerous and you can flip a tractor very easy if you dont know your limitations.
I also like chains because they dont stretch and store energy either. Not as dangerous as cables or straps.
And we have lot of locust around here as well. Back in the day farmers either had a locust grove or a hedge grove used for making fence posts.
There are old fence posts that are still in the ground today that were put up over 50 years ago and still just as solid as the day they were put in. All this new technology and pressure treated stuff cant hold a candle to the old locust posts.
