- Hot damn, I was wondering if somebody was going to suggest this. Actually,
- Anmar's suggestion may even be heavier-duty than you need; you may be
- able to get by with just enough cart to get _one_ end off the ground and
- onto wheels -- the heavy end, of course.
-
- Such a hybrid vehicle is of most use when you can fasten the cart to the
- log, and thus the both of them _as a single unit_ to the towing end of yer
- truck. In this case, your goal is simply to prevent the leading end
- of the log from plowing or catching on things. You'll still be dragging
- the bulk of the tree on its branches.
