I welded a #10 rebar across the top back to catch the top of a log so that I can pick it up the "long" way. I buck my firewood at the splitter this way at a standing position keeping the bar off the ground.

I wouldn't have the balls to do that. So easy to screw something up with that huge of a lever it isn't even funny. I assume you can pick the back of the tractor up pretty much one handed? :)
