Looks like a set of pallet forks would work well for that task.

We have some. This was branches and tops with limbs sticking out in all directions, would have been hard to stack them on pallet forks. We wrapped a chain around the big ends and dragged them to the burn pile.

landscape rake works wonders for that. It'll grab limbs that stick out same as it will trunks or bare limbs. I've cleaned up acres and acres of tops and limbs that were left after the log skidder got done here, with a 35hp 2wd Ford tractor and 5' wide landscape rake. One of the best $250 investments I ever made. Most of the time, I worked for hours without ever having to get off the tractor and when I did get off, it was just to rotate the rake so the tines were facing backwards.
To heck with all that climbing on and off, tying on, dragging then untying.

I would be ok getting hit with a snowball right about now. LOL

Today we lit the burn pile. BJ fell off a ladder, about 4 feet. He’s sore all over. So our neighbor Robert came over, there was still a lot of tops to drag out of our “new” pasture and a lot of small logs that will make firewood. Since he was being so helpful, I gave him the tractor and I did the grunt work. Back and forth to the burn pile. Drag up tops, briars, LOTS of dead limbs from the corner where I want to build a BBQ hut and grand daughters playhouse. Started at 6:30 AM, stopped at 1:00 PM. I have a step counter on my phone, I walked 6 miles! I came in, took a shower, we went to Walmart and TSC.
