After viewing several threads about logging, I came up with this idea. My buddy who is getting pretty good at welding, heped me create this logging hitch. I have a B7500 w/FEL and as a property manager for a 200 acre parcel, I get to use it to carry out the forestry plan. This logging hitch works great! We used it this weekend for the first time. I just back up to the logs, hitch up the chain, lift up the 3 pt hitch, and off I go! We also set it up so I can put a 3000# electric winch on the back of the reciever hitch, between the tractor and the logging hitch frame (haven't tried it yet though). We started with a set of 3 pt forks, then cut off the forks, then started welding! The hitch is multi-functional, it serves to skid trees, it has a trailer hitch, and we cut some new angle forks to put in the 2" receiver slots in both bottom corners so I still have forklift capability.
