    And I thought I was only one that cut big trees like that. I think the problem is the winch power, the lack there of, next upgrade should be a stronger winch. My V3004 Fransgard pto winch with only 8mm cable would easily yank that pine log, good video..........

    Yeah low battery. I have a pto winch but no pto output. Was thinking hydraulic power but is expensive.

    I watched some videos on youtube and saw that the legs are put on the trunk on the edge of a special plastic cover so that when transporting the tree does not rest on the ground, you don't have such a cover question.

    That's for vehicles without a lot of pulling power like an ATV. I just power wash my logs before sawmilling.

    interesting connection of the crosspiece with the shank of the rear gearbox and the distributor - I have never seen this on any car. does this only happen on American cars or is it only? this model?)

    I think your talking about the Universal joint. Used on most rear wheel drive vehicles in America.

    Next question. If they're going for boards, why not pull them earlier when the ground is frozen, or later when its drier. Migjt save on driveshaft repairs. Just asking.

    I log year round. Ideally I would only pull logs when ground is solid but it doesn't always work out.

    They call me Rowen. I do wear protection when working all day but not always when filming.
