I am looking for tips, ideas, or advice on log skidding with this light (and old) tractor. More accurately it's not really logs as I am cleaning up after the loggers; collecting the tops for firewood. Still, it's oak and pretty heavy. This involves dragging them some distance to a open meadow.
Today I experimented some. After dragging the top out of the heavy brush with a long chain I backed up to straddle the log with the 3 point then chained and raised the end up.

Anyway that is my current project and as said above all tips are welcome. Thanks
