I am thinking of a better way to "grab" a log and lift it with a wagon jack (Hi Lift). BobL has a sticky describing the device he made which apparently works well.
BobL - would you build yours any differently from what you have now?
I think I've seen one that was more like a upside down V shaped weldment with hooks that caught under the log and hooked to the jack at the point of the V against the end of the log. Anyone seen that?
I did find a post where two jacks were used, one on each side of the log with a chain run under the log hooked to each jack. That sounds pretty stable but you have to get the chain under there and that might not always be so easy. And you need two jacks.
Does anyone have any other ideas or have you seen something that works great?
Thanks
