Headed for the back of beyond

[47sawdust]

I am jealous of cutterboy and other members who have smooth sailing in there woodlots.
We are finally getting some decent snow and I have been packing in a road to a part of my property that is not accessible.It doesn't look like much in the pictures but there is some nice firewood.If Mother nature cooperates the going will get pretty good the more I use it.
The L3750 is chained on all 4,first time for me.It makes a big difference.Strangely enough the last time I was able to get up here was with a Kubota M4000 2wd with good chains on the rear and a creeper gear.
Never much trouble sleeping after a safe day in the woods.The wood will be clean.



On the way up,usually can't get passed this spot,wet and ledgey.

Hey 47sawdust, don't be jealous because it is not always smooth sailing in my woodlots. I haven't been out in the woods for quite some time because of all the rain and warm weather I've had here. The ground is soft and wet.
It looks like you have some good firewood in your land and enough snow to pack your trails. I like your tractor. Now it's my turn to be jealous.
Best of luck to you.....Cutter

I think all of us have horror stories in the winter woods. No too long ago I snapped off the valve stem on a front wheel of my woods tractor. Then to pour salt on the wound, I got the rear end hung up on a large rock trying to maneuver my three legged tractor where I could take the wheel off.

47 - I have a spot like that on my property where there is a hill that drops into a couple of low acres. I have some decent firewood trees in there, but have to cross a wet spot at the bottom of the hill to get there. Usually coming out with a hitch I have to drop the hitch to climb the hill due to the rocks/ledge on hill then winch it back in once I'm at the top.

I usually need a deep freeze and light snow year to access that area. You could never make money pulling anything out of there, but I'm doing it for my own firewood supply and to keep the woods clean and healthy. I got in there a couple of years ago when we had a good cold snap with low snow, but it's been way too wet since then. I actually enjoy the challenge of trying to get wood out of there when conditions are right, but glad the rest of my property is relatively easy to access.

The way I figure it, if I don't cut it, it's never going to get cut.
Might be a character flaw.

Poginy- looks like a bad at (fill in your own swear word) not so flat rock.
