I wish it were an april fools joke but alas it isn't. The ground is damp but not what I would call wet. It is very solid when walking around on it and not at all muddy. It just isn't solid and compacted since it is mostly top soild and leaves that have composted themselves over the years. Once the tires start digging in they just keep digging. I have the same problem when trying to do similar work in the middle of the summer when things are very dry.
The actual logging part isn't an issue. I have a farmi winch that I use to skid logs up or down the hill. I also have an old backhoe that can be used for pulling and moving the stumps and large rocks. What I need the tractor for is cleaning up all of the debris after I am done. I will see if I can get some pictures of the land tomorrow so you have a better idea of what I am dealing with.
I am starting to wonder if maybe the FEL really is too heavy. The bucket is solid 1/8" steel with the bottom plate being made of 1/4". Taking it off is an option but it would be really nice to york rake everything into piles and then move the pile with the FEL. I don't have a quick connect for the FEL so putting it on and removing it isn't a fast task. Any suggestions for a way to add weight to the rear end while still keeping the 3ph open for putting attachments on?
