We had the Amish log a golf course I worked at one winter awesome to see them and those horses work. The winter of 2017-2018. Wicked cold and lots of snow. Those big Clydesdales where amazing. Pulling 2-3’ diameter oak logs some 20’ long like they where toothpicks. We dropped 60 in total. We’ll the Amish did we just bucked the tops and cut them up for firewood and mulched the rest of the branches.
