I've seen people building pole-type three-point implements for dragging logs...but I decided to try the crane portion of my auger out...and success. Dragged a 40-foot straight section of oak out of the deep woods with very little issue. Not a very good pic, but more tomorrow if the sun returns...
Here's the tree before I pulled it down (it was storm-damaged and hung up).
Anyone else from MI losing oak trees to that virus? It's my fifth old-growth tree that's got it. Apparently it transmits via roots and the only way to stop it is to trench around the trees. I have 40 acres. =(
