Yes, there is a hand truck under this pile, that I could no way pick up, and would much rather roll than drag across frictiony grass (I was reminded how much easier dragging on pavement is, recently) <a...

I had a laurel hedge job, recently. My repeat custy asked if I knew anybody needing a trailer. 6 lug, 5'x8'. $400 straight trade. Titled. Hard to find titled trailer around here much cheaper. I had the ramps from my pick-up and stump grinder. Had them cut down and re-inforced, and put stake...

Do you mean rolled over, or spun. If you can roll a log, on its balance point, up on a pivot point, like the right shaped branch or face-cut knock-out, you can spin a very big log. I first did this when loading 20' logs in a tight space. I had to get the butt toward the truck before winching it...

Many moons ago. A hit and run in traffic in the same rear corner last summer. Rattle can it.

I just got a picture on my phone of the last little tweek, but it doesn't want to connect ATM to post. Its NIGHT and DAY. I've chokered piles of straight conifer limbs, slid the hand truck under the balance point, and levered them up and on, and out for a long roll, right up the ramps into the...

Little horns on the blade and up top make a big big big difference! A rope with jam cleat may be a good strap down tool.

Its amazing how you can spin medium logs on a pivot point (chunk of wood under the Center of Gravity). I spun a 20' cedar log in the yard for loading onto a grapple truck simply by balancing it and spinning. I had some larger walnut lots about 6-10' long that we rolled out of a back yard down...

On the other hand, is it possible to pull stuff up, and speedline it out from over the deck? A portable powered puller that can then carry big stuff to the chipper might change the way to do jobs. Maybe not your job, but I've had two maples (60' spread) that had to go into a 15' hole between two...

Willard, are you still lifting wood into the bucket? Seems like a really small mini (Treesmith's Ramrod might have a hauler with Carl to Minneapolis, MN as an economical partway haul) with small loads would do the same impact as the power barrow, without you lifting, plus you can add...

please, do. that is the idea. top fab'ed w/ hand guard and top log holder, and blade beefed up w angle iron. pics today, hopefully. wheel guards stiffened (i went for the $60 HF, then went thru many cheap wheels before replacing w bigger, tougher, wider HF wheels and wider cold rolled steel...

Spinning logs on a pivot to roll them where they're desired. A branch sometimes works fine, or a chunk of wood, especially if it has a 'spine'. I've spun a 20' log for loading. Roll it onto the pivot point at/ near the COG, and rotate as you like. I've rolled a log along the side of the house...

Another thread started with more ideas than time. Post up. I have posted my hand truck mods before, and just got a bit more done on it. A huge labor saver, which for some reason I get a lot of resistance on from the ground crew, maybe sometimes because they would rather do it the old way...
