Times was tough for me pulling cable through shit, so was shown. , and learned how to winch a cable right. , so it would free wheel easier,, my best day. Was about 15 yr old. I pulled and bucked. 11,000 ft. Stump and his buddy was cutting. It was nice oak timber. Got pictures of pile that day somewhere

    What I saw a skidder do going up a hill - He would use the logs pushing him up the hill by not letting go and close and they push back. Raise high and go a bit then loop back in the push down and pull in then rise as you push outward and it helps. loop back... method. 🙂
