Using the Foreman to skid cedar logs.Here's a couple pics.The Foreman 500 pulls the dray really well.
It's made from aluminum I-beam and has a solid tongue.

How deep snow can you negotiate?

Right now there's not much snow,It's frozen like cement and you can ride right on top of it.
The log dray is low to the ground and if the snow is say axle deep,then the dray starts plowing snow.

Thanks for the comments guys.The pile of larger logs will be used to build a cabin,the pile of smaller logs are farm posts
that will be used for fencing and such.The cedar are mature and had to be cut,some were starting to rot in the center.
The smaller trees had to be cut to get to the larger ones.So far it's been fun cutting the logs,the winter here has been ideal,
cold temps. and not much snow.
