Hi,
I wanted to post some pics on how I do some Logging with my Prairie! Anybody know how?
Thanks, Boboh

 

I am not sure if u go into your personal page and upload them there i am always interested in logging with a bike
i have been thinking about it myself wasnt sure how it would hold up i am cutting treelength cedar

Definitely a workhorse.
Reminds me of the 9 years I spent in South Dakota.
Abundant Oaks and or hardwood for firewood was hard to find.
Keep that chimney swept an eye out for creosote buildup

What I have here is a winch powered Log Lifter with a counter weight, tool box, and chain saw holder on the rear. The winch can also be used with a Bucket Loader, Snow Plow, Fork Lift, York rake and I have a larger boom for lifting, the winch can be used on the front or rear or both ends of the machine, and of course it can be used on either end for getting unstuck!

These are custom made and are presently not available on the market! I make them myself! I have made over 30 attachments that mount on ATV's and Garden Tractors and these exact same attachments have been mounted to these ATV's: Honda 350 FourTrax, Honda 300 FourTrax, Yamaha 350 Big Bear and a John Deere 316 Garden tractor.

wow thats f*ckin awesome. do you just roll the log in and then close the clamp with the winch?? do you have any pic of the fork lift??

 

Boboh you've got something there that could be worth patented , if i were you i would go to a lawer to apply for a patent for this design ! You have something that could be a big money maker, this could be your ticket to the lotttery ; i would go for it for sure ! ..................williebee

 

I drive up to the cut log and as I'm approaching I lower the "Log Lifter" from the seat of the ATV ( I have an up and down control for the winch right below the left hand grip)
the lower 2 pick up parts of the lifter go under the log, I than activate the "UP" control the center spring return arm comes down, clamps and lifts the log to whatever height within its lifting range you choose. You than have the ability to transport that log to wherever you choose and lower and drop it off without getting off the machine.
I always pump the tires up to maximum pressure when working the "HORSE" and I have a counterweight on the rear!

I do have pictures of the Fork Lift but not on digital yet!

 

Yes! I did get a Patent for it, the biggest problem with marketing it is Product Liability Insurance.
The cost for the premium makes it impossible for an individual like me to market these items.
