Without the mini, we would have had a lot harder time with trailers/ chipper. About a 10-point-turn to turn the pick-up or chip truck around in the parking area by the house, without a trailer.
Long, narrow waterfront lots mean long narrow driveways. Last minute change was for the neighbor to take the wood. I figured on the chip truck and tandem trailer for hauling logs out.
Nothing too special about those as millable maple, a bit of nice spalting down low, and I am so packed with logs and millable chunks, its ridiculous.
You'd be surprised at how tight I'm packed in at home/ shop. Moving within a few months. Would have given the wood to happy friends, but easier to leave it there.
At least this was basically a flat driveway for around here, as it was high bank. Drives that lead to low-bank, very water-front houses are usually steep access, like the mossy driveway that I rigged the truck and chipper down (POW and bull rope), after sliding on moss and getting muddy. We rough-cleaned the driveway and sprinkled moss-killing baking soda on the driveway (hourly, regular client, little bit twice a year, as we've done the bigger stuff for now. Older couple who could really need access for an emergency vehicle).
Barely pulled the chipper back up the driveway (2wd, 5L gas engine). Once, I've double-teamed (two vehicle connected) to get out of a steep gravel driveway with a terrible transition at the road that circles Summit lake. Next truck will hopefully be extended cab, 4wd, and maybe a 6' bed instead of 8'.
