Default 6x6 Firewood Getter!!!

OK heres my deal man....

I made the wrecker boom last year and it proved out to work very well for getting firewood... The 6x6 does an awsome job just put er in low range and 6x6 , lift the butt of the tree up off the ground a couple feet then ger er on...............I cut several trees that were 2 foot in diameter and she handled it fine....................I had a boat winch on it and that made it a bit of work fer an old man so now I have a 3k winch mounted on the swingarm

gonna be funner gettin wood this year fer sure...................I will post some actual pics of it in action when I get em huh

Cheers,

Kevin

my son in law tried that method once last year and he wasnt able to pull a very big tree and when he got it to the trailer it was full of rocks so he dulled the crap outa his saw

thats the true deal here is to just grag the tip of the tree,,,,,time I get it there it has been limbed too
