    image.jpg My processing area is pretty well snowed in as well. I dragged the rubber membrane over to put on top of the rounds hopefully they will melt off this week. Now to fire up the tractor and make a path in the wheeler struggled even with the bearclaws.

    Unfortunately my old sled is in pieces waiting on a rear shock. Hope to get it back together this week.

    Exactly. That's why the jet / otter sled type sled works best. You can use the ATV if you start before the snow gets too deep. The jet sled will pack the entire trail down once you haul some wood with it. If you keep on it, the path will be packed and there will be no issues as long as you stay on the packed path. Get off that path though... You'll sink, and you better have a winch. A snowmobile will pack the trails down really well too, and can haul in deeper snow than an ATV.

    Now there's a family that knows how to enjoy winter! I had a chance to buy an old Sno Cat years ago & passed it up, kinda regret that now.

    It sure has been a good winter for the snow toys. Skidding logs from the back is fun
