Nice bridge! I've got the same thing going in my timber as well. My crick crossing is good going one way, but the way back a winch is needed. Lots of mud on the bank. It's a little wider than yours and the spring floods would move any type of bridge. I have to get a CAT and breaker run in there this year. There's 20 acres on the other side that hasn't been harvested for firewood for over 30 years. A couple walnut tree harvests took place.The skidder crosses the crick with no issues. There's lots of wood over there, but plenty of easier pickings on the accessible side.

I haven't started burning wood yet, but am trying to get a jump on a 3 year plan. I did just get an email this afternoon that the stove I want is now available at the dealer. Headed there on Saturday to take a look at it.

I haven't taken the plunge on a log arch yet. I have a DR Versa trailer (pictured in my avatar) that I bought for hauling logs, rounds and splits. It's fine for rounds and split wood with the cargo box, but when the box is off and it's supposed to be log mover, the jury is still out. I tried it a little and wasn't impressed. It seems everything I buy, needs to be modified.

Ive noticed those trailers online. Seem nice. Hey a little modification never hurt anyone. That’s half the fun.
That little cart I’m using has been modified. Originally bought it for my mother to pull behind her sit down. Bigger tires and beefed up the tin frame just to make it functional.
Arch and log splitter I’m constantly welding on trying to make them more useful to my personal tastes.

if you have a skidder your going to need a very stout bridge LOL

Your welcome for the boost
In reality it’s all new to me. Oh I’ve been cutting for years but all new strategies and equipment. And it’s even a new access trail. Built a bridge just to make one central access trail into the heart of the property.

Neither my father or I in all the years we cut have ever ventured down this hill tho. Never was a need. Still isn’t except this big tree came down and it’s visible from the road. Womenfolk don’t like that So it was a challenge. One that almost got the best of me LOL
