ATV Log Skidder

[Slingshot]

I may not put a V-twin on but it does have capabilities other than log skidding.

The builder of the arch gave me some brackets to convert it
to a 3-point hitch that he used with a winch for lifting a grader blade behind his ATV; He did some
good workmanship on it.

well it's nice and the simplicity of the idea causes me to go thinking again. this whole thread  is helping me figure how to make my kubota RTV with remote hyd that run from the dump valve, into some kind of forked board stack handler. Like the norwood idea. Thanks guys .

Hey Slingshot, nice arch. Does it raise up the log when it goes forward like the Norwood?

[Slingshot]

      Yes, it does raise the log as I pull forward. I back over the log and hook the chain as low as the
log will let and the sliding ring pulls the log up as it goes to the top. And, backing up lets the log down.

I like to see folks putting the Utility back in Sport Utility Vehicals SUV, I used my 1980 Subaru  4x4 wagon to skid logs and trees around my Grandmothers property back in 1990's. Cutterr hard around the burn pile and they'll ride up onto the pile!
