4 different ways to manually load logs on a wagon - by yourself, using new and old school technics.

[@tektoms]

I've spent so much time thinking of ways to stack logs without the use of horses or machinery, that I'm glad to have found this video. I could tell what was gonna happen for every scenario, including what would work or not, but it was seriously refreshing seeing you try them all, unashamedly. Well done for showing the mistakes man. This'll help others a lot :) I hope you've perfected your technique/s since this video was made :)

[@stretchsmith5232]

Worked with my Grampa 60 years ago cutting and snaking logs from bulldozed trees. Skidded them to a clearing, and using chains to load on a wagon. Then pull the wagon to the sawmill a couple miles away. Never used a ramp, but then I was driving a tractor and Grampa had a team of mules. We had the power to roll 3 or 4 logs up with that chain at a time, depending on their size. Horsepower does make a difference. Learned a lot about common-sense that summer.

[@vikingrobot4179]

Ive seen so many videos with intricate log lifting systems and this one seems like the simplest and most economical . This could be adapted and improved upon on pretty much any trailer. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@ronaldclark1178]

My Grandfather used this method back in the 40's and 50's to load his log truck using a team of 4 oxen for power, hooking two cross haul chains anchored to the far side of the trailer. The oxen would pull the 30 inch by 20 foot logs up the skids and onto the trailer. As a young kid in the 50's, I though it was really amazing that you could load logs that big three layers high just using the power of the oxen! Things sure have changed. Great Video!!!!!!!!!

[@Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel]

Thanks Ronald, great memories! :-)

[@edhultgren517]

I agree, thanks for recording the ideas that were less successful. So many people want others to think that everything they do works all the time, when the rest of us know that's not the case. I learned a few new tricks from your video. Which I will use in the coming weeks. I donate hard wood to the Navajo reservation and am planning to load and haul the oak logs from MO to NM. This video will help!

[@andyeynort1]

Well said sir

[@j2art]

The top of the square tube with the winch on it is open ended. A ratchet strap to the top of the tube and secured to the back side of the trailer could help take some of the tension off the tube. I realize it's thicker steel and the gusset at the bottom would stay off total failure. Maybe the strap could keep the top of the bar from bending, especially when lifting a larger log. Great video sir.

It's another great video,I like the way you show mistakes as well it good to watch and learn from.i did the leverage way when I worked in the forestry once you get the balance right it was easy,I took the trailer off for bigger logs and used the ATV quad which I used in the forest with the trailer and made ramp used ATV to push big logs up onto trailer. It's surprising what you can do on your own.good videos I'm really enjoying them

[@Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel]

Thanks Roy! Yes, it is really surprising what you can do on your own sometimes, and also fun to figure out how to do it :-)

[@hexadecimil]

Great video my man.

[@mikelilly7667]

I really enjoy your videos. I would put a chain or strap from just above the winch to a tree to anchor that post so it doesn't bend or break under a load.

[@Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel]

Thanks Mike! I have thought of that, but it seems to hold up fine. If I have it to bend someday I think I would reinforce the post instead.

[@victorriceroni8455]

You might have to truss your winch beam if it bends before your standard hole fails. Very cool project.

[@SuperHurdman]

Great video Erik! I would go back to the chain system and switch it out for a rope Just shorten it so you don't run out of pull doing it this way keeps the log cantered and when you start out you only need the one line but when it comes up it will be more stable! Only problem with the one line is unless you are in the centre or you have a bent log or have a knot it will swing on you!

[@johnkarlquist7787]

Thanks lots of ideas.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Isn't hindsight wonderful. :-) I could tell right away that #4 with chains wouldn't work whereas a strap/pully would. You used a bit of #2 with the 3rd log. Actually #2 looks like fun ... for small logs. Hope you had some fun too. Your video's are well made and a lot of fun to watch.

[@Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel]

Thanks Wiley , I always have fun when I am in the forest, It´s my heaven :-)

[@daveboyt6810]

Great video. Been there, still doing that. The winching technique is called parbuckling, and I load logs on the mill that way, too. I use a 12 Volt winch & deep cycle battery, now. Easier on the shoulder. Nice trailer!

[@KellyLK69]

I wood say u nailed it

[@KellyLK69]

Thanks for the ideas

[@Papa_D]

Now you can use an extension and a socket with your cordless drill to even go faster with the winch. There is another guy I watch on KZbin that does that and he uses a cable winch and cordless drill ! :-)

[@Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel]

Now that´s a thought :-)

[@Papa_D]

You can do the same ramp thing at your sawmill as well ! :-)

For the last log in the last loading method, would it work if you installed the front vertical bar to prevent the log from swinging out, then use the lifting tool on the rear portion of the log while the strap for the winch is still in place to stabilize? Really appreciate your video. Thank you

Might be able to ramp up to the second layer with the winch might need longer ramps though

[@user-kp2ks4ce5y]

you have the hydraulic lift on the back of the tractor and the pto use the machine to do the lifting by creating something that lifts the legs via several pullies that the hydraulics can those legs you made off the side.

Nice video. Just curious but does your tractor have a PTO? If so, I imagine you could power some sort of winch with it. Maybe use an old car/truck axle and power it with the PTO and use one of the wheel rims like a capstain winch.

[@Eriks-Multi-Topic-Channel]

yes the tractor has PTO, and if I was doing this every day i would make something like that, but for my now and then use i am happy with this cheap and easy solution :-)

When it comes to a problem a person has to think outside the box, it's the trailer manufacture your trailer? two logs weigh more than one and four logs weigh more than one, use the weight of the multiple logs to elevate the lesser weight! if a person is not using hydraulics to move item A to item B then they have to think of other methods, a huge tree can be pulled clean out of the ground with pully and ropes.
