1)You can pull just fine with the 8N or Fergi provided you use common sense. 2)Loose the F/E loader.It will be a hinderance in the woods.3)Get the 3 point D/B over the end of the log.Useing a clevis hook attatched to the bar, drop a chain link into the hook,raise the bar and log and go. There are 3 good reasons for getting the front of log off the ground.It keeps the log cleaner,it just about eliminates hanging the log up on an obstruction and will give added traction because of the aft weight. If you can't get close enough to get the D/B over the end of the log skid the log just far enough to make the above work.There have been times where I've backed the tractor 4 or 5 times,shortening the chain each time to get the bar over the log.This will work for you if you use your head. This isn't the way big operator pros do it but some of us little operators have been doing it this way for years with great success.
