hauling limbs

I don't have a grapple so this is what I do. I cut some low hanging limbs from these cedar trees and after putting down a rope along the ground and past a tree I started stacking them against the tree on top of the rope(actually mule tape). When they are all in a pile I throw the rope on top of the pile and then with tractor forks I squeeze the pile up against the tree with the forks passing beside the tree. Cinch up the load and with a half hitch thru the loop on one end I can dump the pile without getting out of (in this case) skid steer. It'll hold a large pile especially if you do a little critical trimming on the limbs.

I like that idea. I will be hauling limbs for the next couple of days and I will try that. I don't haul them far to my burn pile but I may save a few
trips. Thanks for the idea.
 
(quoted from post at 19:47:19 09/26/17) A friend of mine uses it to pull telephone cable thru pipes. They tie it to something (I forget the name, mouse?) and blow it thru the pipe and then pull the cable thru.
where to get mule tape
They use a "pig" (that's what we called it) and with a compressor you would blow the pig down the inner duct with a light line and then connect the mule tape to it and pull that thru so you could connect the fiber-optic cable to it.

Yep, blow or vacuumed a mouse (sponge ball near the size of the conduit) with a pull string, tied to the mule tape. Used it to pull fiber optic cables. Worked with a crew that pulled over 45,000' off a single spool, from Henryetta, OK to Okmulgee, OK in the late 90's. We also pulled 6500'+ through the new Sailboat Bridge over Grand Lake near Grove, OK. Have used it to pull stuck bucket trucks, when we didn't have any strand.
