It's practical, unscripted trial-and-error rigging content, showing chains hooked to a three-point hitch implement, choker-chain advice, and honest commentary on what could go wrong. Good for DK40 owners doing log skidding or dragging work, not a spec review or dealer walkaround.
An owner-operator documenting hands-on tractor work and storm recovery on their own property, with practical lessons learned through trial and error.
Lay the chain on the ground, roll the logs onto it in bunches of three, then hook each end of the chain onto the hooks of a three-point hitch implement and lift.
A choker chain is better because it has a bigger hook that lets the chain slide freely and tighten around the logs, unlike a transport chain.
The owner hooked up six logs to one chain, three logs on each end, and towed them to the sawmill.
