A bold move!

I’ve noticed something in my area a few times over the past couple years. Evidence of people dragging logs or a tree down the road. Occasionally I’ll notice a drag mark in the road, and upon further inspection, recognize wood is what is being dragged. Once, I followed it from a guys yard down the road from me to another house about a mile away. I had noticed the cherry tree down in his yard the week before, and therefore put two and two together. Talk about a wrecking ball! Don’t think I would try it! Have any of you noticed any similar shenanigans in your area?

 

I've done that several times over the years on back country dirt/gravel forest service roads but not on paved roads. Usually it's due to needing to move a dead/down tree that is on a bad slope or on a curve in the road. I'll drag the tree down the road to a spot with a pull off to process it in a safer location. Yes, the wood gets a bit dirtier, but sharpening a chain is better than getting nailed by some city-slicker speeding down the road so they can find 'peace and quiet' in the woods. Dragging the trees does leave a minor 'snail trail' in the road that probably leaves most people scratching their head as to what happened.

 

I can totally understand this, but I’ve followed them for miles before. I really would like to see it when it’s happening. Just not from too close

 

I brought a discarded utility pole home dragging behind the tractor once.

 

Miles?! Well, not much surprises me anymore. People do crazy stuff.

I may drag my feet, but never a log or tree down the road. What some folks will do for wood!!!

Definitely! Would make for a fascinating hoarding thread….. “Dragged a couple trees back to the wood yard today. Only took out 3 mailboxes and 2 traffic signs with this trip”

 

Have never done that...or even seen it.

 

Dropped this one onto the road, then pulled it up out of the ditch.



Good wood, but also a good way to dull a chain.

 

Here’s a link to a thread I started awhile back. Not all that uncommon of occurrence around here.
Just chain up and go…

 

I've done that quite often, usually no more than half a mile. If I have to mess with it, it's coming back with me one way or another. The fun part is 99% of the time they fall over, it's on this hill on my road. So dragging them back they're sliding into the other lane going around curves.
