Arthur Angaran wrote:Hi, ATVs' have some disadvantages. One is pulling factor. Most people will be amazed how little they pull. If you are going into the woods with an atv then you need a path for it to run on. If your going to make a path then why not try another idea. Why not hitch up a winch to the pickup and pull whole logs out. You could add a second cable to it and pull in the log, run the line out, and double pull the log in. you could reach i/4 to 1/2 mile with cable and remote control winch. Sometimes rental companies have winches. So you could rent it, try it out and see how it works for you before buying.
