I need to cut some wood

[blueone]

To try this out!! This was inspired from one I saw here, but forgot the posters name as it was a year ago or so, it was yellow and on a FORD.
Mine is similar but has some differences.

The yellow one had slots for chain but that didn't work for me as I have tongs and needed somewhere to hook them up. Also wanted to beef up the blade a bit.

Yes I've read about pulling from the 3pt a lot here but, as I see It if the log is off the ground at the pulled end and you go SLOW and EASY it should work fine. I've done this for 10 years with another rig but this is the thought of 2 years of study and 1 year of scrap hording.

Let me know the GOOD BAD THE UGLY!!!!!

Shouldnt have posted this, now I wanna make one. :laughing: Great job on the build, i especially like how beefy it is, looks like it can get some serious work done. Great job! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Blueone - is that ｼ" wall tubing? Looks rugged if it is, if not are you concerned about side pulls twisting the tower? I like the log pushing pins.

Nice rig.
Why don't you weld some grab hooks on the top of the blade so you can hook the logs lower if you want to. You could drag a bigger hitch and it would be safer for big logs.
