..on the farm right behind my house....
How far, approximately, is "right behind" your house? A mile, 100 yards? What is your budget?
I love ATVs for moving wood around. I bought a new-to-me ATV a couple weeks ago, but have been borrowing my FIL's for years prior. Yes, I can haul more in the truck, and the truck is great for long distances, but the ATV can go almost anywhere. I would hate driving my truck with a full load in snow and mud for fear of getting it perma-stuck (see below).
I cut most of my wood a 1/4 mile up the road, then several hundred feet up some very narrow trails. ATV gets me from the woods to the wood shed in any conditions. Takes a couple extra trips over the truck, but they are short trips.
In the winter, when the ground is soft, I would rut up the yard moving wood from the shed to the house in the truck (or wait until the ground was good and frozen). I got my truck stuck, up to the rear axle, in the yard once and it was no fun. Had to unload the truck, get pulled out, then move all the wood again. Not a problem with the ATV.
Now I use my ATV for hauling sticks/brush/compost/leaves/grass clippings/tools/kids/etc. I used to always use my ZTR mower, but i felt it was hard on the hydros and it was worthless traction-wise in anything but dry grass.
You could pick up an beater truck for $500 that would carry wood...you could spend $7,500 on a spankin' new quad...just depends on where you are moving from and to...and how much you want to spend.
