dominiquer60Ed,
For large saw logs that you want to keep clean, something that works like a logrite is great. A scoot can be loaded off a brow without much effort, but if you are cabling them out of a wet land, I am guessing that is not an option. You may be able to put more on a scoot, but you can load a winch trailer by yourself with more ease on the body. We have 5 acres of stoney land that is seasonally wet, there are a few paths for the horses, but for much of the larger wood we use a block and cable and use horses or the tractor to pull it to the edge of the field. The system is not perfect, Sam would like to invest in a self releasing block, but until then it sure beats trying to go in after the logs. If you have a real lunker of stick, you can strap the winch trailer directly to the far end and make it easier to extract. I tried attaching a photo that may explain it easier.
