John Moody 3,097 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hard to believe he thought that was a good idea. I would put that one in the category "Hey Y'all, Watch This!" I know when we take trees to the mill they are quite heavy. This is how we handle them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Wisecarver 15 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 My best friend here I've been jacking with for about 20 years now uses 4x4 German tractors, we get those things everywhere.To haul them he's got several duce-and-a-half's, perfect for hauling logs.Back in 2000 when we got hit hard those tractors were the only thing around here that could get in and out of the mountains, even I was getting cats stuck, they'd just sink and sink until even their clamshell couldn't pull them out.(I got a 30 ton stuck, that nobody thought could get stuck, but Murphy got involved!)At that time we brought in so many mature Eastern Hemlock's I built an entire house with cathedral ceilings, then we hooked a Vet up, my wife checked on him not long ago, still off the grid and enjoying his last days in peace. Ooh Rah! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Moody 3,097 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Mark that CAT has been stuck several times, so yes you can stick them.
