Hauling by skidding logs along the ground primarily depends on a good felling technique, properly planned operations and well-oriented trails. For trouble-free hauling, retain a margin of manoeuvre by making up smaller loads. This obviously means going back and forth more often, but the speed of the ATV allows you to do this. 2, record 1, English, - skidder%20falling

Le débardage par traînage dépend principalement d'une bonne technique d'abattage, d'un travail bien planifié et de sentiers bien orientés. Pour un débardage sans embûches, conservez une marge de manœuvre en constituant de moins grosses charges. Cela occasionne évidemment plus d'aller et retour; sauf que la rapidité du VTT vous le permet. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bardage%20par%20tra%C3%AEnage

Hauling with a pulley. Sometimes, the direction of the skidding trail or the narrowness of the track mean that the tractor and its winch cannot be positioned so that the trees are brought out in a straight line directly to the track. In that case, using a pulley makes it possible to bring the logs out indirectly by angling the path of the cable. Depending on the position of the pulley, the logs may be placed parallel or perpendicular to the track, for loading onto the trailer. 1, record 5, English, - hauling%20with%20a%20pulley

Halage avec poulie. Parfois, l'orientation du sentier de débusquage ou l'étroitesse du chemin ne permet pas de positionner le tracteur et son treuil dans l'angle de halage pour sortir les troncs directement dans le chemin. L'utilisation d'une poulie permet alors de sortir le bois indirectement, en déviant la trajectoire du câble. Selon la position de la poulie, le bois peut être placé parallèlement ou perpendiculairement au chemin, en vue du chargement dans la remorque. 1, record 5, French, - halage%20avec%20poulie

An effective skidder... Notched hauling shield. Used to hold several logs, while physically lowering the weight of the load to a level which lessens the risk of the tractor flipping over backwards. The shield is also used as a stacking blade to stack trunks and logs; or to clear or grade part of a trail. In addition, it prevents the trunks from sliding underneath the winch. 1, record 6, English, - notched%20hauling%20shield
