Skidded plenty of logs over the years with 3PH / chains / cable ...on flat ground... but now have some real nice fallen red oak trees down in a ravine on my property and thought I could lift /pull from higher angle with winch added to top of bucket to keep logs from digging into ground when snaked up hill ( have about 800# counter weight on 3PH ). Thanks for the input guys....
You are probably not going to get enough height to make winch practical... Probably need a skidding cone (I know has other names) to keep cut ends of logs from digging in....
THis is my issue, can't get close to tree, and can't get tractor in because creek is about 3 feet from where picture is taken...
