Looked at them before 500.00 just seems out of reach for me.
 
Same here. We use an ATV once in a while to drag logs of 12-14" from the hills. I don't like it most of the time a dirt is hard on chains.

I do like draging them out chained to a 3 point hitch. That way most of the log is off the ground and only the end is dirt and rock filled.
 
A fellow can make a drey much, much cheaper and it can be pulled with an atv.
 
What's a drey?
 
Looks like it would be pretty handy as long as you are using it in the right terrain. Hills could be deadly!!

Mike, I may have spelled that wrong. It might be dray. It is a simple cart you can build to roll logs onto and pull them out of the woods. We used to make them by cutting logs for the runners, fasten a chain on the front and pull with the tractor.

I was going to make one last summer but just never got the time to do it. When I make one I'm planning on using landscape timbers for the runners rather than logs because I won't be hauling very much per load. The ones we've made in the past could haul many logs per load and we used a chain binder to hold them on. We bolted a chain to both sides of the drey so we didn't have to wrap the chain around the whole thing. If I ever get one made I will post some pictures.
 
Thanks, that makes a difference...and a lot more sense! :^)
