I know this is bass ackwards as the BX25 is being delivered tomorrow..but I've got some trails through the woods here, and I wonder if any of you can tell me if I will be able to haul cut logs for firewood on a small trailer. Total weight of the trailer and wood in the 600-700 # range, I would guess, and sections of the trails have a max sustained pitch of approximately 1 foot in 5 (for example, 20 foot rise over 100 feet run). The trails are a broken shale/gravel/clay combination and have been graded fairly flat with a dozer, so it's a straight climb, no sideways tilt.
I don't want to have to take the FEL or BH off, but instead plan to try to rig a ball right to the BH, like KeithInSpace did. I would think 23HP and 4wd would be enough to do this. Maybe I'd be better off taking off the BH, buying a 3PH and adding a drawbar?? Thanks for your advice.
