I've been dragging some pretty large spruce logs out of our steeply sloping woods, and finally decided to put together a small trailer to be able to more them more quickly and without getting them as mud covered and beat up.
Here is a picture of my Harbor Freight wagon with modifications to haul them. Since the total cost was under $250, I might get another, possibly two more, since they can be easily hooked together in a 'train'.
The largest log on the wagon in this picture is at the limit of what my PT-425 can lift with the 4-in-1 bucket since turning slightly lifts a rear wheel. Turning further is even more fun! The log is about 18" dia., 10' long, very heavy as it was standing 2 hours before this photo. Hope it gets lighter when I move it again for sawing in the spring!
Since the wagon at capacity is not even noticeable even when going up a 25% slope, pulling more than one might work.
Some details are in the attachements forum posted as ''Low-Cost Harbor Freight Wagon Log Carrier''
OOPS--it's the build-it-yourself forum. Sorry.
