I have a job that will require to do some log skidding. The logs them selves are small 6" or less. The terrain is mostly flat and open. The logs will need to be skidded about 1/4 mile along a dirt road. The job looks like it will take about 4 hrs.
I don't own a logging winch. I usually don't skid trees. The only reason I am taking this job is because the guy gives me a lot of other work and I have a hard time saying no /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I was thinking of using a draw bar (on the lower 3pt arms) to help me get the but of the log off the ground to help skid the logs on the road. Get a couple choker hooks (with hasp) for my chains and some how hook them to the bar on the 3pt hitch. Right know I'm not sure how to hook my chains to the tractor.
Any ideas? I don't mind spending $50ish to make the job go easier.
