The other day I managed to do some epic reversing into the coppice. We loaded up what must have been 2.5 tons of logs. The ground had been frozen but the sun was up and a thaw underway. No problem, I’ve got good mud terrains and a centre diff lock. Grip was good until the trailers wee wheels just couldn’t roll over a root. The Land Rover wheels just spun digging a hole.
We were only the the length of the Land Rover and trailer from a better road surface. We tried to tow it with the Ranger’s Hi Lux but it just spun out too. Nowt for it but to unload the trailer, get it back on to the road and hand ball all the wood back into the trailer.
We gathered three loads, by end of the day I was toast, after that evening’s night ride I was done.
You don’t see that part in lifestyle mags with neat baskets of logs beside wood burning stoves.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
