I'm interested to build either a log arch or maybe just a tag axle for moving logs with my mini-loader.
Can you all share ideas on how you have/ what you would include?
I would basically scale up a Logrite junior arch or whatever its called. This seems like a lot more fabrication than a straight axle with two wheels. If I have a straight axle, how you you suggest I build a bunk for a larger log to ride strapped on on top. I'm thinking a 135 degree "v", might work. I'm guessing a bit of a forward V and a Rearward V, sorta like a Arbor Trolley.
I've been surprised what I could pick up and manipulate by lifting the small end of the log, and moving onto a fulcrum, or lifting and positioning a fulcrum, beneath the log's center of gravity, or toward the big end of the log. I think I could start hauling more logs with the incorporation of a dump trailer (which my miller neighbor has).
