This weekend while away a log truck dropped off around 80 logs. Average length around 20'. Majority is hardwood 20" in diameter.
The logs were put in a spot where I can't get forks of my 2wd tractor (Ford 2000 industrial) under and still get enough traction to back up (up a slight hill). I have wheel weights, weighted tires and a brush hog for weight hanging off the pt hitch still a no go.
I want to buck the pile and move the logs 20-30 feet over. Bucked lengths will be 8' or 12' approximately. Never used the pt hich to skid logs. I was thinking of welding up a horseshoe shaped arch. That will be used to lift the lead end of the log off the ground a few inches. Once its up I'll put a steel pipe under to minimize plowing under as I drag the log. Anyone got a better ideas besides 4wd and a bigger tractor?
