Most of the logs I get are onsite, other people's property. Access is limited to a 4x4 truck or sometimes just a 4-wheeler, and the property has to be left the way I found it...or better. The logs are from storm blowdown or just old age...if it's not green I can fell it, but otherwise the trees are to remain untouched.
This doesn't bother me, as I'm after spalted wood mostly.
What would be the best way to remove small logs(logs average from 28"diameter and 6'lenght) without destroying property or other trees? Are those log hauling devices that hook to 4-wheelers worth anything, or are they inadequate for all but pavement duty??
I'd rather remove the logs to cut in a better place....you know, a roof to keep the sun, heat, and humidity from wearing down old bones and a nice chair to sit in when I'm getting sore and need a beverage. That and I hate snakes, and we have our share of the nasty one's here in Arkansas!!!
