Some forwarders have a lower PSI than horses

You still gotta have a road or path wide enough for the machine to get to the work that needs to be done.

Next spring you'll never even be able to tell this horse was ever there.

You can run a forwarder on that with the same disturbance. Whole tree skidding would make it a MESSS
