This Timber Croc is a good invention for longer smaller wood

Cool stuff AJ!

We picked them up. Over exertion of the back, haha. Sometimes if they soak up water you gotta do the step system! Getting those big toads in the bed of a lifted pickup is kinda a pain.

That is why I like putting a winch in the truck bed or over it to pull things in. One time I used a bed winch to pull a huge oak over after I cut it when the 2" hinge wood was still keeping it up.

Love the heavy equipment pictures, maybe one day I will get at least a skid steer.

Good work AJ and nice toys.

Here's how I do mine to bring to the woodshed, no need to make it any more work than it already is .
Pics from this spring.

The shed is full, this is just one side(for winter of 22/23), it's one winter for us.

You can see the front of the shed in this picture, not sure what happened to my picture of only the front of the shed?

Then when I'm splitting into the pile out front.

How do you like those clamp on pallet forks for moving logs? Been thinking about converting my pin bucket to SSQA or use another method for putting a grapple buff seeing how balanced that log looks those look appealing.

Looking good Brett!

Thanks man.

Thanks, getting better and better as time goes on.

They're okay. One advantage is you have a lot longer reach, you can also flick a log off them because they are so far from the pins(Bucket pins), it is also nice not having to bring a whole different attachment when you also need the bucket. Disadvantages are they move around on the bucket and because the bucket is still attached you loose quite a bit of the lifting capacity of your machine. Another issue is visibility with the bucket on, real difficult to see the fork tips unless you raise the bucket real high and then work them in, but visibility is low on a tractor when using forks anyway.
Couple stacks I did this spring with those forks, they are both higher than my loader will reach.

Nice lot of locust Brett.

Nice lot of locust Brett.

Thanks.
Just brought a load of super heavy mulberry home yesterday, that locust will spoil ya.

 

[chipper1]

Pic of the mulberry for your viewing pleasure. Makes my back hurt looking at it. I couldn't even get the trailer to crank up after the weight came off the ball, fortunately I have and adjustable 2 way ball so I just lowered that.
15 rounds and 3 smallish sticks(8-12").

Looks like enough weight that the tires are rubbing!

I have found on my trailers that are going to be carrying significant weight, having two jacks (preferably with dual wheels) is very useful. On single wheel jacks, I replace the OEM plastic wheels, which are usually just a bolt through plastic with no bearings, that tend to drag and crack under the so called "1000 pound" rating. I just remove the bolt and replace with a bigger one if needed, and use this type of poly wheel which has real needle bearings. You just have to remember to grease them every once in a while.

They do rub when I get a heavy load on there. I have two small hydraulic floor jacks in the truck and the factory jack. Also for getting the trailer off, I could have gotten one of two larger floor jacks from the driveway .
I'm working on building another trailer, when it's done that one will most likely get sent down the rd, I also bought another 20' steel trailer too.

I try to carry a floor jack in both my trailer and truck. One time I got my Bronco II stuck on an ATV trail and the thing that saved me was the floor jack and using it to push the truck sideways off the tree it slide into. Plus, I have used it to lift my trailer up to my truck.
