You do not need tractors, end-loaders, cranes, or a vehicle with a strong bumper to skin a deer.

Just hang the deer with a "block 'n tackle" so that the rear feet are off the ground. Make your initial cuts and pull away as shown in the following link. As depicted is as I used to do it until I found a meat processor whom has an automatic hide remover and does it all for the same price.

Once I got some hide loosened, the hanging weight of the hide allowed me to use a medium sharp skinning blade. I would just drag the blade between the hide and the carcass and the weight of the hide pulled the hide loose very easy.

You will get some hair, but no worry. Just wash the meat down with clean water. Pat the excess water off with clean rags.
