Log arch build

[dahmer]

We took an old heavy duty full channel boat trailer and converted it to a log arch. Hopefully tomorrow will be it’s trial run behind my King Quad. I will try to get vids of its trial run and post a link. The ornery guy in the pick is my buddy that donated the trailer and did the welding.

Log arches can be really handy! Good work.

Is he ornery because he donated it and then had to work on it?

He just looks that way. One of the friendliest guys I know. He was a tremendous help. Without him there would be no log arch.

Just joking on that post. Awesome to have friends that can weld and fab etc. look forward to the vid of it in operation.

I think the best thing I did was take the tires and wheels to a farm/ag tire dealer and have them foam filled. No flats with a big log hanging on it. Kinda pricey but when I thought of the aggravation with a flat I caved in and spent the money.

I've seen tires filled with closed cell spray foam... a complete mess. You did right.

Myself was planning on F class truck tires. As of now all our plans are fading with the financial hit coming soon. Back to survival mode and getting all our wood ready for burning and building.

Nice job on the new tool!

Very nice. Now you just need a small set of wheels for the back end. Lol

Don't laugh I'm going to build a set for loading big logs. Dolly wheels like we had on the first 4x4 wrecker for recovery.

Good job

Someone posted a video a while back about an ATV Log carrying setup like the one you built. It had ths small rear setup for the back end. Takes a load off the ATV.

Finally got in the select cut area to drag out left over tops. A few minor glitches and a learning curve but here is tonight’s haul. Going in tomorrow morning to prep some more tops for dragging out tomorrow night. The log arch works great.
