Bought some Husky tongs for big brush butts and small logs. Never seen them used by a groundie. Just wait until their wrists start to hurt after some years. I try to avoid as much brush dragging as possible, in part through rolling, in part through groundies, or winching.

That log is wet redwood, heavy enough for its size. Easy to move solo without hardly working. There is foreshortening. I'd guess that at least 13'. I've put on a lot heavier, to the point where its hard to lever it up. I'm surprised I don't need a gusset (yet) between the bottom plate and the...

What will your brush dump be like? If you have a stationary object to hook a rope, you can cinch a rope around your pile (start with rope in bottom and don't cut it), hook up, and drive out from under it. The cinching narrows the brush as you try to pull out from under it. A Loadhandler has...

I started with that dolly/ hand truck, still have it. ruined those cheap rims again and again. Got a longer axle rod and some beefier HF tires/wheels. Buy the hand truck a little tougher. Weld two 'horns' on the bottom plate that stick off at about a 45 degree angle. Mine are approx 2" x 5" x...

That being said, get a chipper from somewhere! They may be two years before they go under. At the least, it will be post-storm. Do you have any budget? Someone may know something.

You can rent a chipper, as needed, chipping into the trailer. I would think that a 6" machine as a starter would pay for itself quickly as compared to dump running if you have to pay for disposal. If you have to finance it, see what the payments are, compare it to rental costs. Its a piece of...

If you can make it happen, a tandem axle at least, or a small dump. You will need to haul wood, too, right?

You will be cutting into the binds, so a strong and sharp saw is the way to go. Long slightly thick branches on the bottom to be able to use to pull out the load as it gets smaller and lighter. Putting a rope under this pile, loading, then choking a running bowline at the bottom after putting...
