There are two superb companies that make such thing for any operation that I know both made in the same town in Iowa, Garner IA

Stellar Industries, and Iowa Mold and Tool both companies are superb quality and have great customer service. If you call stellar ask for Ben D. he can help you most defently.

Grapple log trailer, the grapple is the arm.

The grapple is the "hand" that grabs the logs, the grapple is attached to the loader (or "arm") by a rotator.
