I've been needing to figure some mounts, tho everytime I organize the pick up bed, in my canopy, I find more and more space.

Mine came from Treestuff with a beat up box, but no damage. Remember to grease the bearings. There may be an instruction manual, but ... I added PVC extensions on the stakes. Added about 2'. You can often slip them over the bars when its already loaded. There is a bit of a learning curve...

Adrian, do you have a winch for skidding? Ice covered limbs sound heavy. As much as the AT rocks, not lifting to load would be sweet. I haven't really got the use out of my chainsaw powered capstan, yet. If I did more groundwork, I would, and with a new, competent/ trainable third man, I hope to...

What we need are some mods for the AT. I figure that if a guy were take a couple of pieces of plywood that are cut to fit, and hinge them with rope loops through drilled holes, with a simple way to keep the sidewalls from falling in during loading (small piece of PVC pipe/ end cap attached to...

It will, but it is still a worthwhile $800 a year. You wouldn't go for an Craftsman over a 200T if it cost $800 a year for production work, right? It will last more than a year, easy. I'm just saying.

Who cares if it breaks in a year? It will have paid for itself in so many ways over and over and over. Buy another. They are easy to replace, a back/ shoulder/ wrist is not.

As you see at the butt of the log, there is decay. That this tree didn't snap, when tipped into an adjacent one, bending about 70 degrees total from bottom to top, amazed me. If the log were solid, it wouldda weighed a lot. I'd say that it was 20'+. Using the comm units not only makes it easier...

Two man move on on a soft path with a tight turn, flat, then downhill. The photo exaggerates it a bit, but it was lowered onto the cart and cut down to size.

We weren't quite logging like Bix, but got a lot of use out of the AT on the hung up alder the other day. Hope Erik got a good pic or two of the job. Maybe later today. I'd say the AT made a $75 pay-back/ ROI on that job. Keeps adding up! Oh yeah, the Ropetek comm units were super important on...

You are going to be hard pressed to wear it out. Your ROI might just take longer. If you have the money available, and see a niche, its good. With a little plywood, I think you can do some more with the cart. If you have a big rigging job, you could easily load all your gear onto it. If you...

do you have rings on top of your truck for tie-down points? If needed you could pop it up top, if you're not going down a low clearance area. Know your truck height! A top-hinged steel flap that could hang down and latch while not working could provide a good lockable storage area. It it had a...

Ya, I have a few scraps that I can fit together to cover all but a hole for the chipper chute. I've thought about making a dedicated piece of plywood. You can really fill it, then.

I'm just saying that if your terrain works with it, just buy it. Saves the body. It breaks down into small pieces. On that occasion that you are super full, you could put parts of it in the feed tray, possibly the main body minus the wheels. The side stakes will easily slide into the chips...

Just toss it in the dump bed, eh?

No hand truck or wheel barrow, Wow. For a cheap noon motorized material mover, a heavy hand truck, with a free cheap mods is great. Besides brush and wood, a heavy duty Rubbermaid garbage can is able to be lashed on, without lifting, and can roll and easy hundred pounds of gear, mulch...

Nick, just a funny quote. We used my AT today for a lot of brush moving. Thinking of making some side/ bottom boards that might hang from the rods, hinged with a rope loop. This would be for rakings, and transporting gear. A typical sized rubbermaid bin fits nicely in the bottom area...

Nick, nice work. I got mine last night. Its heavy, which I knew. Because it was in a typical smooth cardboard box, and I had no gripper gloves, I decided to bring it to the front door with the hand-truck. Seems beefy. Do you work on a lot of flat lots? My thought is that the uphills are where...

I figure a caster as a back-up to balancing. Difficult terrain and/ or big loads might aid. Looks like there is a skid plate of sorts on the bottom, not an open tube end that would be more likely to snag if it hits the ground. time will tell. for long single log loads, it might be easier to roll...

Mechanized, and if two people are on the same load so that they aren't fighting each other. Do you think?

What would it take to make a dual wheel mod? Swivel caster mod? I'm definitely wanting a caster, before its even in my hands. Next coupla days and I should see the box!!
