Hey all. Chomping at the bit here to get my 700-4. About 2 weeks to go still.

I saw someone mention dragging trees, and Im curious, what kind of pulling/work could possibly be done with a pioneer? (Length and diameter of trees or weight of items being pulled?)

Without extra load/weight in the machine, will it spin all 4 tires when attemping to drag something too heavy- even on pavement? What about with added weight or passengers?

The trees were 30-35 foot pines tops and all. Had @500lbs in bed and if they got hung it would spin tires. For the slope I was going up about 1 foot for every 2 in run.

Trailer it will pull my 6x12 with a cut tree on it and several tops along with the 500lbs in the bed.
