Here in West Michgan we have lots of logging experience. Muskegon, my home town, was lumber capitol of the world in the late 1800's. My dad and most his age were loggers at some time in their life. Loads like this were common in our area. Sleds pull easy on the snow once they were in motion. Pry bars were used to start the sled in motion, then the horses could pull it. Spiked horse shoes were used also. Logs were loaded using chains or cables layed over the sled and the team was used to roll the logs on one at a time. The load was chained down and then the last log was put on top to tighten the chains. Dave.
