Hired some pro's to help me clear some land for a house I'm building for my daughter. Now I've got a lot of logs to haul about 1/4 mile back to the house. Spent 7 hrs today hauling and probably have 10-12 hrs. Left to do this weekend (lots of tractor time. )

Yeah, it was smelling good out there. Oak, Cherry, & Maple. I gave the maple away to my neighbor. Got to get back out there today to haul some more logs and throw some more brush on the fire! :fire::fire:
I figure I now have about 3 yrs of firewood ready to process behind the garage. :cool2:

How do you like the forks and thumb for doing that job?? Looks like a good rig for transporting logs. Do you hand load the forks or can you push into or under the pile and come up with a load ??
A pretty good bunch of firewood there.

Well they havent been tested yet LOL but they are 5 foot wide and will take a 24 inch long log. And about 4 foot tall. I used some 4x4 and a 2x4 stacked to make the ''skids'' on the bottom . to easily get the forks under it. I used pallets a few time but unless you have a real clear view of the fork tips its bad. Ill be able to take one at a time inside my basement for the fire.Presently ive been using heating oil tanks cut in half. they are durable but dont hold as much.The metal roofing was an afterthought as I thought id just use a tarp.So results will have to wait for many months lol

I love using the forks, I can just push in and grab what I need, sometimes some of the smaller stuff gets turned sideways and I have to throw a few on by hand by not too often.

My thumb is only 36" long and it needs to be longer, plans are too build an extension for it!!! :construction:

The ground froze up pretty good here last night, so I skidded out this red oak log using the Farmi winch. I was impressed that the winch yanked it right out of the ice that was holding it to the ground. Hit a bit of a soft spot when I was driving to the firewood yard, so I had to drop it and winch it back in.
