These aren't any guarantee for sideways stability on uneven iced terrain.
They are mostly for back and forward traction.

The ice cleat? I have them on my harvester tracks they really don’t let you slide sideways, it’s not like a single bar grouser it’s much less surface area to try and dig into the ice.These aren't any guarantee for sideways stability on uneven iced terrain.

I don't know what a tracked harvester uses as track configuration. I do know a tracked harvester is articulated and with two set points which allows it to adjust better to terrain.The ice cleat?

Gordon, great pictures and story! I'd love to have a little dozer but I'm afraid of the trouble I would surely get into with it! When we bought this place I had a couple openings clearcut in the woods and a road running all the way round the place by a big local logging company (big business here) so I have tractor access to most of the place. I only cut enough trees for firewood and lumber for myself and I mostly just work around the outsides of these little clearcuts and it all works for me. I do love watching your adventures however. Very nice looking woods by the way!Thanks for the comments all ! For me having tractor roads in the woods makes all the difference in being able to work in and get around in my wood lot. I keep the tractor on the roads and out of the slash so the lack of a belly pan and forestry tires are not issues so much and I can access wood in large hilly terrain areas much more safely.
Arrow, I remember well, and am still puckered, from the first and only time I tried to scarify our road with the dozer tracks after a bad ice storm.

I saw this on a local CG add:
**LOOSE FILL ONLY to TOP OF STANDARD BED RAIL (not to exceed 22.5"H). NO STACKING WOOD - Wood will be tossed into your truck or trailer bed, ONLY.
In some states, selling by any other measure than by the cord (e.g. "pickup truck load" or "pile") is illegal. Though if it's between a willing seller and a willing buyer, I'm not sure who would lodge a complaint that would kick off enforcement action (assuming that the volume has not been misrepresented.How are they selling it - by the cord from pre stacked piles on the ground and that is just their loading method or by the truck load w/o a size stated ????
