    Got down the woods a bit, in +- 12" dense snow. I'd shoo'd a path first. Lookin' for possible future cuts. Ended up at a cluster fugg... larger ash caught a 10" ash and bent it over and down. Lotta energy built up there. Will be very careful when it's time. Looks like some decent wood there. BTW... the "mule" does OK in the deeper snow, with the plow on. A little tippy, but I'm learning to not fight it. Too heavy anywho... trail pics...

    Personally I don't think that is working worth a darn. Send it to me for updates and needed changes, will send it back when all kinks get worked out of it!!:whistle::cool:

    Neat looking rig. Good job!

    Super cool setup! Not seeing any of the build pics before(if there were any) I thought it was going to be much bigger. But that pic with you in the sled brings everything to scale. Unless you are 7.5 feet tall. Maybe a direct descendant of Paul Bunyan himself??
