I was thinking about getting one but was wondering it might just get in the way. Thoughts?
Let's see: chainsaws, fuel & oil, tool bag, hookaroon; check. Other stuff optional, like cant hook..
Hookaroon is blue 3' (LogRite).
I guess that's the difference, truck or trailer. I use the tractor and the tote box or trailer. With the tote box, the back comes off and it is all ground level, walk right to the wood, no reaching involved. Off the double axle trailer, I just climb in, little stuff gets tossed in a pile, bigger stuff I roll off the back.
So far, haven't needed to have an extended reach. Don't even think about it. If/when I unload from a pickup, same deal, I'll just climb up in there.
Now, splitting directly off the tailgate, sure, can see it being real useful then.
Hmmm...why this is..I think I know, thinking about it a minute. I am not tall! Even with some grabber stick, I still couldn't reach, so..climb in and do it. I would need an 8 foot pickaroon with a dogleg in it..no point to that at all, silly. I can't even see over the sides of my half ton much, let alone the 3/4 sitting on tall military tires. No way I could reach in there and grab anything, pickaroon or not.
I've found the 36" Hume head to be the best all around length and shape for my needs. It's sharp, so you can stick it in the end of a round for dragging. It's got enough hook to allow you to pull rounds and splits out of the truck.Srb, what do you recommend?
