I finally bought a 4 wheeler and today used it to tow some logs out of the local crown land. All I used was a chain with 2 hooks 1 side was attached to the tow ball on the 4 wheeler and other side cinched around the logs. It worked ok but the logs were full of dirt and sometimes got stuck on on old stumps or rocks. Im looking for ideas on how to make the towing easier. I dont have the funds to buy a atv trailer. I do have an old 55 gallon plastic barrel. Im thinking about cutting that but not sure what would be the best way to go about it. Think it would be a good idea to cut it in half the long way and then drill a hole in the side to run the chain through? or cut it in half the short way so I end up with 2 cones without points? or is there a better way to go about this all together? I tried a different way instead of towing I cut them in 5 ft lengths and ratchet strapped them to the front of the bike on the rack the logs didnt get dirty but I could only carry like 4 pieces like that. If it matters most of the trees at that spot are only like 10 inches across or less.
