Question:
Winching is done when you can get up to the log with your tractor or ATV.
Response:
True
False
When using chokers, attach the furthest tree first.
Make skid trails 40- 60 metres apart because:
that is the maximum hauling distance
that is far enough to walk
that is double the length of the winch cable.
Fell that log so that
the butt end is closet to the cable run
the top end is closest to the cable run
either - depending on distance from the cable run and obstacles
When winching with a tractor the operator should stand
in front of the tractor
to the side of the tractor
directly behind the tractor
