Log Hauler

[MossRoad]

It's first mission will be to bring about 15 pine logs about 6 miles on 2 lane highway. They are about 15-20" x10'. Was hoping to be able to lift and load about 3 of them.

I went to look at the trailer this afternoon. It is well built, heavy duty, almost new Class D tires (rated at 2250 lbs each), already has 2 stout cross beams, hydraulic looking brakes (who can offer info about that system?), has at least 4:1 pulley system (it was raining didn't get great look), 3/8" cable is rusty but looks in good shape. The not so good: hand crank winch that moves 1/4" per crank. That thing will wear me out!!Going to need a 12v winch, but how big?

Try the winch with a battery operated cordless drill. See how it goes.
