Howdy everybody.I'm looking for some ideas.
I get my logs from a nearby crosstie mill.They load them for me with their k-boom, but it takes me 3 hours to unload when I get home.At present I have a snatchblock hanging in a tree that I back the trailer up to.Tie the logs to the cable that runs through the snatch and pull on the other end with my truck.Sometimes it works good, last time the cable broke.
I recently came into possesion of a long 24 inch long cylinder 3 1/2" dia. and another one about 8" long and 2"dia. along with a pump, but no valves.Was thinking of rigging something with the long cylinder as my lift and the short one as the swing.All of this mounted at the front of a trailer that I would also have to build.Has anybody seen any pictures of a critter that sounds even remotely similar.I know there are some good fabricaters here, so please feel free to share some ideas.Thank you all in advance>
