Pulling tree out of pond with the Kubota

[jajiu]

I really enjoyed your video on the carry all and couldn't wait to make one for myself. I changed a few things, like I added some PVC pipes for holding long handle items like shovels, rakes, brooms or hoes, and I put the chain saw holders on the sides and outside to leave room inside for other things. I also put a tailgate on so if I carry things other than logs they won't fall out.

When I cut firewood - I never was able to use too many fallen trees. Once down, Ponderosa pine rots so very fast and thats all I have here. A standing dead is usually still OK.

Always interesting how different things are in various parts of the country. I love downed trees cause they are so quick to cut into rounds. I often use ones that have been down several years. Of course we don't get so much rain and most of our trees are oak and maple.

I enjoyed the video. Smooth just like a well oiled machine.

Maybe the slope to the pond is deceiving but why not just drive to the tree frontwards and hook the chain to the FEL, lift a little bit and drag the whole thing up the hill backwards. Of course care is needed, but depending on the size of the tractor obviously, I grabbed 14-16" oak from the side of a hill and as long as you can keep the rear end down it keeps the tree out of the dirt also for better cutting.

One thing I learned is to not lay the chainsaw in the woods when involved in moving logs around. I parked my tractor and had the weight box directly over a new Stihl saw but caught it in time.
