It's been a sad thing indeed but the Emerald Ash Borer has left my woodlot bereft of Ash trees...I suspect permanently. I have several pretty large trees healed over into surviving oaks and hickories. Thinking the 300U has the guts to get these pulled down but it has a FH and I would be pulling from a drawbar inserted into the lift arms. Now I know enough not to pull from a 3 pt hitch but the FH is attached up under the transmission and not to the rear axle...more like a traditional drawbar. If I keep the hitch lowered will I be reasonably save from going over backwards if a log hangs up or should I pull from a clevis on the front of the tractor? Not dragging the logs, just pulling them down off the trees they are leaning against.
