My Father cut logs and firewood with an ax and a 5 foot long one man crosscut saw in southern N.H. from around 1940 until 1953 when he bought a chainsaw. He worked in the woods by himself with one or two horses to bring the logs out to a skid way. Around 1954 he built a woods tractor from an old truck, shortened it and added a winch made from an old car rear axle and an oak pole at about a 40 degree angle with a pulley at the top to haul the logs to the skid way and also to load his own truck. Sold his last horse then. He continued doing the logs and firewood plus 8,000 small square bales of hay a year by himself until he semi retired in 2000. I handled a lot of those bales loading out of the field, didn't seem right not to even though he didn't seem to appreciate it.
