U can't beat an old 30...i believe that is what she is. I have dragged a many a log with mine...she remains one of my favorites of the tractors I own. God bless "old Harry!"
Am sure you have figured out by now to lift the ends of the logs with the 3ph and have better traction as well as keep the logs cleaner. At least, hitch them up shorter to the pull point.
Here we have a young fella, not letting, not really knowing what he’s doing stop him for a second. Get the end of those logs up of the ground! The three point hitch on the back will lift “all” 6 of those cedar poles easy. When I was 14 or so I helped my Dad skid cedar post out of the swamp for summer fun with an old Massey Harris. If you insist on using that strap to skid with you check it every time for weak spots . If you don’t, at some point it will reach up there and explain why you do that!
Take and back your tractor closer to your loge and lower your 3 point and tie your strap up close. So when you lift your 3 point it will raise your logs so they are not digging.
I think it would be easier to drag those if you left them full length without limbs then he could cut them the lengths that he wants. Use a long rope to pull them out of the denser areas. You could probably drag a hundred of those logs with that tractor. You are wasting time, money, energy fuel, etcetera, dragging such small amounts each time!
The music in your video is very distracting and unrelated to what you're doing. I know some people would rather hear the sounds of nature around you instead of the music. I cannot watch your videos because of that music!
lf you plan on skidding any more logs, you might build or buy a small log arch to make moving your logs easier & wont gouge up your ground as much. Just an idea.
