If you’re buying you want scribner the over run is nuts.The old saying - If your buying logs use the Doyle Scale. If your selling them use the International Scale. All you need is two sticks.

If I remember right, didn't former member OldPath had a similar idea, except he has a mast sticking up from the middle of the splitter with a cable winch? He runs out the cable, hooks the log then drags it to the splitter, then with the remote he can lower the round as needed. The mast has a pulley at the top for the winch cable, & it rotates so he can pull from any direction. Once in the air he can swing it to the beam. Having the remote in your hand for the winch takes the FEL out of the equation, and less moving around.My back and arms can't do the heavy lifting anymore. This makes it easier. I try to split slabs off the main chunk with the log held up by the tong. Then, lower the FEL as the slabs come off.
The tong is a great substitute for a grapple, actually better since I use it during the whole splitting process instead of only lifting.
You did NOT hear that from me!!Its been so hot everywhere this summer, I thought I heard Hunt say "You know Colorado wasn't all bad".....
Commercial version is called a gorillabac log splitter lift, fastens onto the end of the splitter. Works reasonably well, picks up rounds that I won't think about anymore. I needed something and just didn't take the time to build it. I have added a bracket to attach to my truck-flatbed, to get heavy stuff in the bed.If I remember right, didn't former member OldPath had a similar idea, except he has a mast sticking up from the middle of the splitter with a cable winch?
