After the first trip I was pretty tired & on the drive back thought thru a few thing to make it possible to get wood "easier" from this area.
I made up some longer ropes with loops in the end, thru a hay pulley in the truck, chained up the rear tires on the ATV.
I found a place I could get my ATV up a steep hill. Did some trail clearing & cut & skidded 5 trees to the top of the hill.
Chained the hay pulley in a tree, chain on the log, thru the pulley to the truck front hook.
Worked great.
Time consuming but allot less physical work. Got the logs right to the trailer, rolled the bigger round on. Made 1 row, pulled the ATV on the trailer & stacked around it.
I had room for 1 or 2 more trees, but time (daylight) is a factor.
Anyway a good day, it was still work but much less than the 1st trip.
