Skid steer would be much handier for many more things for the money.
That's slicker than greased owl snot!
Slicker than whale poop on an ice floe.
Did I miss a chart, or maybe a day in science class where the lubricity of various types of critter excrement was documented?!Just how slick is walrus snot on an iceberg, anyway?
I think we need one around here zoggerMaybe they make a slick-0-meter gadget....

I bought 2 airport luggage carts at an auction for $60 each.I pull them to the woods split and fill the cart
NICE!The other thing I use is my old livestock trailer.I was going to scrap it,but decided it was a very cheap wood shed.I think it holds a little over 3 cords.
Everyplace that I will be running the lil forklift in the wintertime is blacktop or concrete except for a 20-25' stretch between the drive and my woodshed. And I will be laying concrete in there soon, hopefully next summer. In the mean time my plan is to haul wood in when it is frozen or I can lay out some old plywood to drive on if the ground is soft. I believe the only time I would have to worry about getting stuck would be when I'm running across the yard empty, there's a lot of weight on those little steer tires at that point!Now how will it go on the snow and mud is a question that you will answer soon!
Sounds like you've got it figured out! Nice.
I kick myself a little as years back I had my basement block wall rebuilt(before wood furnace)and removed the window that would make a perfect wood chute. But I actually don't mind loading my cart from the gator. Heated and out of the elements so skivvy reloads are possible and I don't have to pay for that expensive gym membership. Lol
Just what I was thinkinWouldn't be that hard to knock out a few and frame and trim in some sort of access door for a chute.

Well, heating 100% on wood is a lot of work...nice setup there Vdub!The older we get the smarter we work. ( or the lazier we get ).
Agreed! That is a very nice system. Thanks for posting.I move my wood into the house with a pallet jack. I built a 3' sq bin that I load at the wood shed, then roll it into the garage and park it at a pass thru where I can unload it in the den by the stove. Concrete all the way, and slightly down hill, or it wouldn't work. Holds a little over a weeks worth of wood. The older we get the smarter we work. ( or the lazier we get ).
That's only half a cord?! Heck, that's closer to a cord than what most people get from those "seasoned firewood" sellersI just pick up one of my boxes of half cord splits with the tractor and carry it over to the basement window,
and throw them down... It works out very fast and easy...
