When a tree comes down in an awkward position to pull the logs out, sometimes you need a way to winch them around corners.

This is part of my solo logging operation where I do light touch forestry on my forest land.

I will show you how to use a breakaway block to yard a log around a corner. I am using a Massey Ferguson MF 30 MF 34 Tractor with a Farmi 501 winch.

I cut this Douglas fir tree down but it had to go down in a direction that made it difficult to do a direct pull. If I was to pull it directly, it would bind in between trees and scar the trees up.

Using the breakaway block, I am able to pull the tree in one direction. When it hits the block, it falls off and goes the other direction, directly toward the tractor.

I use a Stihl MS 462 to cut the tree. I will be loading the logs with the tractor onto my flatbed trailer. The logs will be cut in the lumber on my Woodmizer LT 15 sawmill.
