So that square arch flips over towards the front when the tongs hit the block, to pull the log all the way up on the trailer?

Do you just manually push the arch back to skid another log up to the trailer?

I toyed with an idea like that for a while but finally decided it wouldn't work well enough or fast enough. I ended up building a free swinging heel boom which worked good except the electric winch heated up, and then later built a hydraulic loader.

Works well . Jut release the tension on the cable and it falls back ready to adjust the chain

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Cutting down woods for a polo field? Such a waste. Just my honest opinion.

"The cove". The mountain valley in Garrett County, MD where my grandmother was born.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Not to be contrary but I see it as both parties benefiting from clearing that part of the property.

The photo of The Cove reminds me of a place south of Lawrence Ks. only no mountains but some substantial hills.
Looks like a nice place.

Been to the canyon quite a bit but never saw that. It's cool they made it look native.
