A $3000 lesson that I learned the hard way - Put the Automatic Transmission in Neutral, set the park brake and choke the wheels. When you are jocking logs and such. The Park Paw in the transmission will break off and grind up the transmission.
This right here has just saved me a ton of money . I am just looking into cording word for sale to make a few extra bucks . Thank you Alan and I am sorry that you had to find this out the hard way . Extra man card points for sharing !
@YellowMetalDriver The winch is right where it needs to be for a few reasons. The height of the snatch block is what matters. The slabs in the background are the clue that these logs are at my sawmill. Thanks Mike
Sweet..maybe a pully on the side to load sideways in the future, or strictly drag it up the rear?.. Great system as long as we don't have to use our backs..
Quite right. I often get the chance of some logs but I have to get in, load up and get out quickly ( perfectly legally of course, it's usually at the end of someone's shift or the wood's in the way ) and I can dispose of the sawdust at home. Unfortunately I don't fancy the cost of shipping one of these to the UK
I purchased it from Mike. It's a great logging trailer, cleared many properties with it. I made a few adaptations to it like a heavier duty cross bar to handle bigger logs. I've put 4' diameter logs on this thing with no problem. I'm done with it now on to other things I wont need any wood for a long time so if someone wants to buy it from me I have it on craigslist, NH. ~Jason Peterson
Nice job. I wonder if this could be slightly improved by adding a rolling pipe at the end of the trailer to lesson the resistance of dragging the logs up onto the trailer.
I agree, looks like a nice trailer. Doesn't really replace a skid steer since it's lacking some versatility in that it takes longer to load and it probably gets difficult to put on logs higher and higher and it's difficult to put up a good stack of logs when unloading, but specifically for hauling logs the trailer has it whupped.
Great trailer, well done, well thought out...the unloader is what sends it over the top. .....if I didnt already have a Farmi winch and Tractor, I would be a customer. I can haul 5 ten foot logs that size, however I will sweat much more than you do, in rigging it up.
I like it! Can you fill trailer? I thought it would have a higher articulating boom to lift load higher but I have a loader anyway, I would like to see it full before I would consider a purchase but definitely interested
WOW IF 1 WAZ IN THAT BUSSINESS AND HAULED LOGS DAILY LIKE THIS. THAT WOULD Beeee, ( 1 HELL of a "NEW TOY" ) TO HAVE & OWN - I WANT 1 JUST B'COZ IT'S SO FRIG'N KOOL & EASY TO USE. 👍🏼👏🏼 ......
I love it. Great job on the design, ease of use and solid construction. Very, very nice.
Thanks
I wasn't all that impressed until you unloaded. At which point i became very impressed. Very nice design
The logs should be side loaded also.
This the best design trailer I’ve seen so far. Nice and easy for old guys like us.
Brilliant trailer. Well thought out, designed and engineered. Solid + practical. Respect....
When I was younger I would throw logs like that by hand into the trailer. This seems great.
I enjoyed watching you load and unload the logs. Very nice trailer, good job.
Really nice design and well built. Well done!!!
Ya know what I'm going to build now...THIS TRAILER...Some minor changer in loading, but a very easy way to make a tough job easy...Well Done.
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen in the log world! Amazingly impressive!!!!!
Whatt a GREAT design....! Thanks for posting this Vid..! Gordon
When you're done with that, I get dibs! :)
Bad Ass simple strait to the point, I love it!
Goddamn that is a badass super efficient layout and design. I’m jealous
Awesome- well done, thanks for sharing!
Great job my friend , no aching back for you . I’m jealous, I want one .
That was a fun vid to watch, glad I took a chance on it.

Wow I didn't even think of that, sorry you had to spend all that money.
Maybe in a dodge
Wow, thanks for that tip Alan.
@Keith Clark They will still roll. Duh yourself. But, people like you have to break one to learn.
Cool trailer...wish I had one!
STAY SAFE
You flash git! I love it!!
Magic is in the UNloading. Nice!
This is freaking brilliant, how you dont have more views is a mistery!! Awesome job, one day I will make myself something similar.
That's a pretty cool trailer.
That is a great set up
Nice set up!

Thanks
Mike
I love it Well done
@Begbucks
Thanks. I get one end up, reset the choker on the back of the log, leave the snatch block on the boom and let the winch push it up.
work smart not hard. great design.
The swiss army knife of trailers!
I like your log trailer
Pretty slick ideas here.
If anything one could have manual off loading ramps and just roll the logs off manually as well but yeah your way works well.
Very nice load and unload feature.
Thanks
There was only one barb in that cable and I knew exactly where it was.
Mike
Nice job !

Hi Jason
Glad it worked out for you
Mike

I second that!! Nice job!
the lumber truck stopped to let the lumberjack off
WOW that is awesome i really could use one of those.
Now that´s a cool Tool.
You are a genius 👏
I’m loving it
great trailer!
WOW!!!!! very ingenious!
I wish I could click “love”. Well done, man. A real thing of beauty.
Glad you like it
Mike
Un trailer geniale!
One of those $15 Wireless Winch remotes would make the a perfect setup.
I purchased it from Mike. It's a great logging trailer, cleared many properties with it. I made a few adaptations to it like a heavier duty cross bar to handle bigger logs. I've put 4' diameter logs on this thing with no problem.

Didn’t put 4’ log on with a 8500 winch! Lol
4' diameter 2 foot long? Lol
That is the coolest trailer I have seen do u have build plans for this very cool man great video
Pretty slick.
wow ! is very good work !
nice trailer good work
Awesome. I'm jealous
Just brilliant
@sick2003f150
The trailer is welded with 2x3 square tube with several wall thicknesses.
That's smart I gotta make one
I like it 👍
WOW thats impressive
Awesome!
Nice trailer.
Wow! The Gear for the Beer! :) excelent!! :)
Nice rig.
Wow, just wow. My compliments sir! If I continue on my current business trajectory, I'll have to contact you or get busy welding.
Grazie Tanto
Mike
Nice job. I wonder if this could be slightly improved by adding a rolling pipe at the end of the trailer to lesson the resistance of dragging the logs up onto the trailer.
It already has a rolling pipe at the end of the trailer just above the tail lights
Excellent! Well thought out, and nicely constructed. A compact rig that makes quick easy work of it. Beats hell out of a Skid Steer!
I agree, looks like a nice trailer. Doesn't really replace a skid steer since it's lacking some versatility in that it takes longer to load and it probably gets difficult to put on logs higher and higher and it's difficult to put up a good stack of logs when unloading, but specifically for hauling logs the trailer has it whupped.
Smooth job papaw smooth
I looked on CL for this. I love it. Can someone advise where or if still for sale? Sweet.
Грамотно 👍👍💪💪🤙
The winch has 80' of cable, I carry a log arch in the truck that clips to the cable and keeps the log up out of the dirt.
Thanks
logtrailer. That good hard work
I would love to see the build for this thing !!!
slick trailer
Great trailer, well done, well thought out...the unloader is what sends it over the top.
.....if I didnt already have a Farmi winch and Tractor, I would be a customer. I can haul 5 ten foot logs that size, however
I will sweat much more than you do, in rigging it up.
incredible! Well done..
thats slicker than snot on a door knob
It was nice, good when it's long distance.
love it
NICE!!
Great trailer you made, you should do well if the price is right.
i like this
Trying to find it on CL for sale. Is it still available? Love it!!
I like it! Can you fill trailer? I thought it would have a higher articulating boom to lift load higher but I have a loader anyway, I would like to see it full before I would consider a purchase but definitely interested
Wow nice
I am thoroughly impressed. I must inquire. Are you producing these trailers for sale? If so, who would I contact to order one?
nice trailer
Great idea, did u make the whole trailer what size are the cross beams on the trailer
Nice video
Thanks
Cool trailer, should try and have something to hold the logs right before you unload so you could saw it up at waist height ,
Awesome
I like it.
How many logs can you got on it?
How much?
awesome trailer, very efficient. hats off to you!
Thanks
WOW IF 1 WAZ IN THAT BUSSINESS

FRIG'N KOOL & EASY TO USE. 👍🏼👏🏼 ......

Pretty slick - Trying to find improvements but can't find any.
This is great! How far can it pull a log out of the woods?
Nice system, how much & where are you located
