Ga Mtn Man,
That is what a toe board should look like.  Gotta have bearings rated at the proper load. 

What do you think the load on a toe board should be figured at?  What I mean is, what weight of log on the roller should you account for in design? Plus margin of safety?  1500 lb?  so 750 per bearing?
Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

I'm just a picture poster, someone else will have to weigh in on that question.  Know any makanikul injunears?

When I had my KascoIIB I made a set of toe rollers like that.They worked great.We turned bushings out of UHMW plastic,inserted into schedule 40 pipe with 3/4'' cold rolled rod through the center.Backwoods engineering did the calculations and we were in business.

I think 3500lbs total capacity per toeboard at min, for my application.  Because my loader is rated fir 5k lbs, and I want at least half of that plus safety factor.  You have a different mill.

I've had a 5,000 pound black oak log on my mill so I'm saying 4x4 is not too far off in his estimation.  3,500 lbs per end would give the safety factor needed.
