Let me know how your reinforcements work out. That's a good idea.
Just to ball park its utility, would this carrier take the majority of these logs one at a time?
1 at a time would be NO problem at all. I was loading 8-10 footers 4-6 at a time. When I tweaked it I had a 38"diameter hemlock around 10' long estimated weight would have been around 3,000lbs or more.
I'm thinking of getting something for firewood to increase my capacity per trip (want to fit more than the loader does). Anyone tried this or something similar for that purpose? I want to minimize trips because the ground where some of the firewood is tends to turn into a quagmire after a few trips.
That is exactly why I bought mine, also to spare the shaky front end on my tractor.
did you just put a piece of plywood for the platform, or did you do anything fancy? Looks like a lot of wood on it in your signature picture, that's exactly what I had in mind (though in my case they are unsplit cut into firewood lengths)
