Offroad Logging-Pine beetle war

Last winter logging and hauling pine from areas infected with the pine beetle was our main source of wood.Had alot of small timber,poles were shortened up and piled as high as possible to come close to our weights.The pine beetle attacks mostly pine killing the tree leaving behind large stands of dead and dying trees.This last winter we started using rope wrappers,mandatory at Weyerhaeuser.Rope wrappers dont seem to hold as well as the cable wrappers,especially when new,much easier to throw over.Most of the video is up on the 4000 Rd,some on the forest trunk,misery mountain and Canfor Rd.

does a tri drive steer as easy as a tandem?.... i would think it be a bit more tricky on ice or mud....
