I had a few trees taken down by the semi-hurricane, back in August.
I have some oak and locust, and they were straight trees, so I had them cut into 8' sections and left by the road. I now need to move them to another section of my property where I plan to have a portable sawmill turn them into board.
However, I can't figure out how to move them.
I tried putting a rope around them, and my tractor (20hp) just spun it's wheels. Then, I screwed a big circle eye bolt into the wood, and hooked it to a winch, and promptly straightened the eye bolt.
Are there some rigging ideas that you have? I can hook them to my truck, and pull them, but I need some ideas how to hook them up safely. I just need to drag them about 200 yards down the road...
Ideas?
