My home made log loader Video # 1

The frame is the back of an old pick up truck, the wheels from a mobile home.
The boom is 2 by 4 heavy tubing with 1 inch hard pins. The swing bearing comes off wood machine. The grapple is 3/8 plate with one cylinder to open & close
its got about 9 ft 6in reach. Will lift about 600 pounds with boom extended.The trailer holds about one cord of 8 ft.wood.

im thinking of building something similar, too bad i dont have the money to. because im 14 going on 15. but do you have plans for the grapple?

[Euc9]

@spongbob202 I don't have a plan but if your interested i can send you some close up pictures

and some measurement . let me know

That is so cool! I am going to make one of these. You did an awesome job. From the looks it seems like you can pick up some pretty heavy logs. maybe up to 800lbs. I would guess.

Hey you think a 3/4 ton axle standing on its end would do the same thing

[Euc9]

@Smiler12008 Yes I build the grapple myself . Are you building a log loader?

[Smiler12008]

@Euc9 Did you build the grapple too? That's next on my list to do. Nice machine, well done :-)
