I'm cleaning things out for more breathing space in the back barn and have lumber that needs to go. It's really a hassle to get in there to load and time consuming. It runs the risk of other people damaging my stored equipment that's kind of in the way. Plus, after we get it out it has to be loaded onto their trailer. The equipment tears up my back yard too.
What I decided to do was snake the tractor with forks on near the pile and load it at my leisure. Then I can back it up to get out and drive to their trailer in the yard. With 48" forks I can put the wood at their fingertips for fast unloading and if they want, slide it off the forks onto the trailer for an easier job. Either way, the forks save a lot of hassle.
