Here's how I skid logs with a skidding frame and choker chain on a tractor 3-point hitch.

I’m about to start doing this with a log arch/ATV. Scrap piece of metal on the ground end is a great idea, thanks! Looking forward to seeing the cut you made for the tall/skinny trees. I have a ton of Douglas fir here.

Good to hear someone that knows what they are talking about.I laugh at some of the people that show how to do it

That’s a great idea with the tin on the butt of the log. Just got some spruce logs delivered and I’m going to try that out. Nice vid

Never seen a cut like that before quite interesting... Must be one of those things you learn out of a book 🤔😳

Great idea, I’ve been using a gin pole attachment for about 6 months. It worked great but folded yesterday on a large Pine log.

An old propane tank cut in half would work for a skidding shield

Really great advice! I just bought some of those screw on forks as well, wonder how they work for you so far.

I've had them for about 10 years. They are convenient to throw on when needed, they do a pretty good job, and they are versatile, but they can be unwieldy sometimes. Also, you lose some lift capacity since they are so far forward (compared to proper forks on a frame).

Great tips! I really like your 3 Point Hitch Skidding Frame too. Simple and well built. Any chance you will make a few of these to sell? I would be interested in one.

If it involves welding and metal, I'd probably lose money if I tried to make them!! But they are not too complicated to make as a DIY project.

What kind of clamp on pallet forks do you have? What is the lifting limits of them? Thanks

Titan brand, 4000# capacity, 42" long. I am planning to sell them since I got quick attach forks last year.

Did you rescue the bit of chain that slid off the top of the log? :D

Yep, but without the camera I would have never noticed! I'd probably lose a lot less stuff if I always had a camera running...
