Tractor 3PL log handler???
Has anyone made/got a 3PL log lifter/ handler for snigging large logs? If so I would appreciate some pics/ideas. I can start from scratch but if someone else has already gone through the ordeal I would love to hear from them. I'm thinking of a heavy channel (PFC) frame attached to the 3PL with a chain attachment across the top of it. I would reverse over the log, attach the chain and then lift the nose of the log using the hydraulics.
I was also thinking of lifting the tail end of the log onto a pair of wheels so as to avoid damaging the ground too much while snigging. However I can see that the wheels need to be "steerable" otherwise the rear end of the log will take of on it's own path. Ideas???
Thanks.
Bill.
