1) Are you using a slip hook on the log so it tightens? Are you hooking up to the largest end of the "log"? 2) Ask around to see if anyone in your area has a log skidder for small tractors. These skidders are a tremendous aid in moving wood with minimal dirt. (Having a FEL on the tractor makes almost all skidding safer) 3) Can you buck the wood in the woods and move it later with a trailer? You might be moving 50% less Weight and are most assured of not having dirt in the logs. No matter how you move wood by skidding it, it is hard not to have enough sand/dirt in the wood to dull a chain saw. 4) Does the ground freeze where you are at? If so it is almost always cleaner to skid on frozen or frozen and snow covered ground.
