Homemade Log Grapple Put To Test!

Taking down beaver eaten birch trees and using the homemade mid size log tongs to heave logs on the timber trailer. The 12 volt winch could be faster for these relatively light logs, it would make the loading faster. But nonetheless, I'm happy with the result. The log tongs are nice and light and really handy. And what's most important - cheap.

@green-zone36
@green-zone36 4 года назад
Just a note on hooking the grapple, once you put the line in the center of the log no other moving should not be needed. As long as the arm and winch are strong enough to lift the whole stick. I am an old guy and do not mind putting a little more physical effort in to the loading. I treat moving wood as exercise. Keeps me out of the gym and in the woods. But that system you have is very good. Great video. The second tree you cut, a few steps back out of the danger zone is best. You did a good job on the first tree. Take care.

@morgansword

I wonder why you quit loading it. After all, everything you do is extreme limits of the metal and machine. Another cord of wood would be about four times the amount most could even move but that has never stopped you yet or is it a long walk home if something breaks. I have heard myself ask the question;"where dies he get the ideas" then I remember the mill build and the lack of directions.Your father should be very proud. Does he ever get involved besides tearing up beaver dams...... I would not get between the two of you boys when it is time to divide the spoils when dear old dad goes to his happy hunting grounds You boys rock and should write a book or a movie about the easy life on the farm and the toys that you improved on

Simbiose with beavers, logs for firewood, branches for beavers food. I have the same problem with beavers in Latvia. In my property beavers have 2.5 km of small river.
@DonnDIY
@DonnDIY 6 лет назад
They're just starting to come upstream. I've fought with'em the entire summer by busting open their dams. One of the fields was completely flooded. They raised the water level more than a meter. 2.5 km is a long piece of a river, many generations of beavers probably living there waiting to come upstream. Until I have no flooded fields anymore I don't care. I would happily leave them alone and admire them from a distance. They're incredible workers. :) I hope you have more luck with'em.

That bever made stump is already a chair for the sauna :-) What is your winch rated at? Do you have a recommendation for what camera tripod to get? I also thought about getting a wood chipper - but that is extra work compared to burning the pile (or leaving it inside the woods for insects and smaller game to live in - and composting)
@DonnDIY
@DonnDIY 6 лет назад
The winch is 3000 lbs, so it's around 1360 kg dragging capacity. It isn't rated for lifting and it said in the manual that not permitted for lifting people. I have the cheapest one I could get that extends over 1,6 meters in height. The tripods in this household get used up. :D
