    Very cool home brewed log arch you made. And will be more stable than a trailer on the sidehills and steep climbs.

    That will improve your wood production
    Been looking at those for a while, really
    helps to skid logs out & process next to the truck !
    :thumbs:

    Can you buck it while it's up off the ground?

    That is really cool but I can not help feeling it looks like it should be in a horror film.

    From experience I would add a snatch block in the steel cable(harbor freight). Ive snapped several lines running just the hook on the line. It also will help prevent those nasty frayed strands stabbing ya.

    Thanks guys its a work in progress. Want to add somewhere to keep chains, axe, etc. And will look at adding a snatch block to it.
