Logging with a Farm Tractor in the Boreal Forest of Northeastern U.S.A. - Chapter 3

This is chapter 3 of a personal logging series, focused on using a forwarding trailer alongside a winch to haul cut logs out of the forest and onto a log landing for truck pickup. It shows real numbers (log dimensions, weights, board feet), loader/grapple work maneuvering logs around standing trees, and the full workflow from felling to truckload. Best suited to owners doing small-scale farm logging, not casual tractor shoppers.
