Log skidding
 

Anybody using their Cubs to skid logs? I’d love to see how you’re doing it. I’m kicking around the thought of getting a log arch but they’re rather expensive. Keeping the front of the log off the ground is appealing to me so I don’t collect a bunch of dirt and prematurely dull my saw chains.

A few years back, I seen a video of what you are talking. Seemed to work well.

If you have a Cat 0 three point I'd use a boom pole otherwise I'd use an arch like this

I think this would be the perfect DIY for moving logs with a Cub Cadet,,,:bigthink:

You can buy a log skidding plate,, but, DIY is more fun!! :biggrin2:

That’s a great price!

These are available for purchase or can be fabbed up rather easily if you have some basic metal working gear.

This One is $250 from Northern tool

Yep same thing I posted in post #3 :biggrin2:

Hell there have been over 110,700++ REPORTED deaths from just the China virus much less from other causes since that link was posted.

You're not going to lift much of a log off the ground with a CC lift unless you want to steer with turning brakes.

The little dolly would be the way to go.
