I'd suggest a "Deep Cycle" battery. A regular battery like that won't last long. They're not designed for deep discharge and recharge.

What is charging the battery?

I would rather roll a heavy wet log into position on the ground and split vertically... Also less chance of the split log falling on you or your truck

how tall can the pole above the winch be? can it go up to 10'?

Could you have it attached to your hitch and then get the splitter close enough to drop onto it. I have one of those wedge stationary splitters so you cant mount it as the ball attachment to the beam is in the way.

Amazing tool ! Thanks for sharing

It might be just me but I would put the Nuts pointing Up to protect the threads!

Cool video, going to check out some more of your videos. You deserve more views, I think you should use smzeus . c o m to grow your channel.

Simply brilliant.

I bought one about a year ago. It works as advertised.

Love this machine...saves on my back. Would strongly recommend

I know you were demonstrating how it will drag a round to the splitter, but your wasting battery power when the round was we round and you could have just rolled it over to the splitter. I have a gorillabac to and it the round will roll, I simply roll it to the splitter then just lift it up. Saves the battery power and wear and tear in the winch. I love my gorillabac log lift.

brilliant

What powers it?

The fact that it holds the log making it possible to nibble off small pieces is a huge labor saver never mind the bending over and straining motions

Very cool. The contraption u stabbed the chunk with?

I bought a lift I’m lifting red oak 32x17 this thing is a game changer for big logs especially if your working alone

Got Gorillabac and plan to use it for getting the deer into ATV too. Easily handles the big 28 inch OD oak, no problem.... thats gota be all of 250 pounds.

I hear ya! Got Gorillabac too. 2x the wood, no pain but like it said, plenty of fun... Im a barn fab guy who likes the heavy duty build, quality welds and finish. Quickly figured out how easy it was to spin the log around for the reverse cut on the nasty knots. No longer f!$5din around on my knees. Have to try the pickup deal next.

I bought a lift and I love it I’m splitting 29 in dim x17 red oak big and heavy

I bought a lift been working like crazy I love it it does what they say it will

Careful some one gonna get hurt hope its not you

This is cool.

This would be great for loading fat chicks in the back of the truck!

Good job in your video!

Wow cool Idea!

Thats pretty cool how does it attach to the splitter? Will it fit any splitter?

You know if I didn't know better I would think they are trying to sell us this thing. NAY!

they made a vertical splitter for a reason...

Save your back! #getyourwoodup

This is genius #getyourwoodup

10/10 would get my wood up again to this video

My husband recently purchased one of these units. It does everything the video shows and more. It has helped him with some very heavy blocks of wood. It is a real back saver. The quality of construction is very good. There was a plastic knob damaged in shipping and when he called about a replacement one was sent to replace it promptly. it was great to get to talk to a real person on the other end who knew what he was doing. Great product!

I wanted to take a minute and tell you how much we love the Gorillabac log lifter! We've been searching for a tool like this for a long time. My husband and I are getting older and burn wood from October to April in winter. We cut and split hardwoods such as locust, hickory, walnut etc. Logs we are lifting are 3-4 feet wide and up to 8+ inches thick. So far we haven't hit a piece Gorillabac can't lift. It can drag from large piles of wood and across bumpy terrain. I can run this beast by myself! Not only does it save our backs it is saving us so much time! We can do a cord in half the time now. And the next morning we aren't sore with aches and pains of heavy lifting! We are so thankful we found this product, it's worth every penny and will keep us splitting wood for years to come! We both highly recommend this tool to all of those burning wood that may not be as young as we think we are! And a big thank you to Fred! His customer service has been amazing - he's kept in touch to be sure we are completely satisfied with his product. If you call him, he actually answers his phone - It's a pleasant change in today's world.

just hook the battery to the pig tail, and never lose charge

I see it works for rounds. How does it do loading 8 ft.logs?

Wow that’s so much better than rolling them up ramps nice video

Excelente!!!

Excelente projeto parabens!

Or you could grow a set and pick it up like a man

This is a really good design for users with the occasional biggie, but that log splitter does do vertical.

Hi Fred, Last November (I think), I bought a model 3802 after speaking to you about the feasibility of plumbing it into the receiver on my truck - You mentioned there was a video to that effect on the website & that helped. So I got all the stuff together to rig it up & then.....it snowed, & snowed. All the bucked maple rounds I planned on twitching out of a shallow ravine have been buried until now. Making a short story, long, I had at it yesterday & was amazed at how much effort I saved by using the Gorillabac. I attached a photo showing the eighth out of nine rounds I hauled up with the last just visible (down the embankment) above the truck's taillight in the picture. At 64 years of age, there was no way I could have muscled that maple up the embankment. The winch motor didn't warm up to the touch at all. Best, Mark Harrisville, NH

The on-screen text at the 4:00 mark should be "waist" level, not "waste" level.

You are splitting some HUGE chunks and calling it firewood. It ain't.

i just talked to you Fred....can not wait until i can get this. It's on back order until April. Gnna be a life saver

Me likey.
