who uses a hookeroon

[Deleted member 135597]

I bought a logrite hookeroon from baileys. Makes life sooooo much easier for me. Not sure how I got along without it. I like using it to get the rounds I can't reach out of the bed of my pickup instead of having to climb up into the bed to get them.

I made one, I use it quite a bit.

I now have two Logrite 30" hookeroons. Great tools when picking up splits/small rounds...a back saver no doubt. Someone posted in another thread I believe, making one about 6-8 ft long...could stand at the tailgate like you're doing and never have to climb in the bed to retrieve splits or small rounds. Pretty nifty idea. I'll try to find the thread and pass on to ya. There were pics as well if I remember correctly.

They are a handy tool and money well spent. I have a Stihl, which is made by Logrite.

I've been eyeballing this tool right here.
I drag a lot of brush, still am and will be for a while, from the ice storm from february, and this looks ideal for both uses.

T'was me. Here it is:

Closet pole, compression fitting from the plumbing shop and a section of 1/2" all thread. That little "hook" on the end of the spike really digs in - don't even have to jab with it, just reach out and pull.

They are super handy and save stress on the back and hands.

I have this one.

What's your opinion of it? Is it a quality investment? How about the skidder cable? Do you use it much?

You don't know the half of it!! I bought that used for $4,000 with 150K on it. Right out of the paint shed. Looked like a new truck on a showroom floor.. I have beat the piss out of it, had to replace the tailgate it was so dished in I couldn't close it anymore, loadned it to a buddy who returned it with a big dent, digns, dents galore and the paint where it didn't fail (one of those 1989 models that had bad factory paint). In short it looks like I got it out of some farmers fence row. Mechanically sound though.

been using my hookeroon (Baileys) for many years...don't leave home to cut wood w/o it.
that Skidderoon looks pretty cool. but, as an old groundie we just bundled the brush into our arms, lifted up the group of ends onto a shoulder and dragged the pile out...no tools.

Yeah, I'm a bit dubious about it. Looks rather time consuming to gather a bundle and 'rope' it.

What I use: Peavey Mfg 36" Hookeroon (Hume Pickeroon)

I prefer its curvy wood handle over straight pole models.

 

[Oldman47]

To move a bundle I have a rope with a loop on one end. Form a lasso with the loop acting to let it cinch up and I am ready to go.

 

[srb08]

I use a pair of 36" Peavey's with the Hume head.
For use while splitting, nothing is better, at least for me.
Once you use a Hookeroon, you'll wonder how you ever survived without one.

I have never heard of or have seen a hookeroon until I found this thread. I made a 36" one at work and all I can say is THANK YOU! This tool is awesome and saves my back. Thank you arborist site and a bigger thanks to the OP.

I just bought an ancient one at a flea market, but haven't had a chance to really try it out yet. (Too dang hot!)
