Jackknifed in the woods

What happens here

The main recovery operation begins with a large log chained to the grapple bucket of the skid steer. The skid steer then proceeds to pull the heavy log through the deep snow and uneven wooded terrain. The log acts as a makeshift plow, clearing a path behind it. This process is slow and requires significant power from the skid steer to overcome the resistance of the snow and the weight of the log.

Goal: Using a skid steer and a heavy chain, large logs are extracted from deep within the snowy woods, creating a path for further operations.
