Recycled scrap log arch.

Looks good, any pics of the log loading process?

Yep, looks good, and you do some good fabrication work too! !! I would only suggest you add a gusset or brace at the top of the arch, just underneath where the two pipes come together. That looks like it could be a weak point to me.

Definitely don't want your arch to do a split while your heading back to the mill. Nice workmanship and use of what's available to make what's needed.

I will take some more today, Currently I am using a 2 ton come-along and slinging it with chain, yet eventually I will add a boat winch and some pulleys.

Thanks =) Agreed, there are definitely a few more things to iron out, I won't paint it IH red to match the tractor until it's done =)

Thank you. Oddly enough after watching for any flex out back I think the legs might walk inward instead of splitting! but that is because of the placement of the chain hooks to the sides of the arch just above the tires to keep weight down low, yet I forgot to take more pictures in the excitement. It's nice to be able to move logs that my FEL won't lift.
