Hey Treecremator, nice job. I just started logging ive been looking for a good idea. I guess u probably tried to move the crank closer to the gate and had to move away and add the pulley? Im so going to do this. I stack up pretty high though but heck any back savings is welcome. Did u make that cart from scratch?
@Travos69 the trailer is a haufman 5x10 factory made i picked at deal. Yes the wench at front of trailer allows the lift to raise up higher. I have loaded some big chunks at the local city compost site. They let the public get the trees they take down. Check my log splitter hyd lift on my site put that on a trailer . I have a manul lift that i slide into pickup 2" reciever and load wood into back of truck I'll try to get wife to make and load a viedo of it later. Thanks for veiwing my site
Wow, great idea. Good work! I have been rolling logs up the tractor ramp on my trailer, but it's real grunt work down on the ground (and one of these days I imagine a log will roll back down and squash me). This looks like a great solution. Thanks for sharing.
The guide wheel I homemade, I believe you can get one from tractor supply that will work. It just needs to mount to trailer and have a grove to guide the lift cabe , must be heavy enough to handle the weight you are lifting.

Good job! I am considering how to minimize lifting and bending at as many stages of wood harvesting as possible, cheaply. Almost everything should be done around waist high. I am determining what I'll have to build or mount to do this. I figure it is most economical to make fewest cuts in the forest, then process the wood in a controlled fashion where it will be stacked. I am working on how to get 8-12ft logs into a pickup or on a trailer, how to cut to size and split w/o bending, etc.
Great work! Impressed me

Whats the spacing on the hand truck where the log lays?
MrLeonard55 1 year ago
@MrLeonard55 The spacing between pipes in 9" on mine, you can adjust for the size wood you want to move. Thanks for checking out my channel.
