Skidder / Pusher / 2" Reciver / Maybe More?

[blueone]

It's less than a week old but has a couple of mods. First was the Chain Saw holders [made of 1/2 black UHMW] then the extra eye bolts for what ever fits em, and last [today] the 2" receiver for many uses, such as the Splitter, Boat, and Wood Trailer. I also had a brain storm about pulling the chain under the log instead of digging a hole for it to pass. Silver rods in Photobucket link and below.


I posted this last week here http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/196275-i-need-cut-some-wood.html but have made some mods since. I thought I'd planned this out but as I got it hooked up I saw ssssoooo much that I had forgotten to think of:confused2:. Take a look at it from last week till now link below. May be more to come who knows.

Looks like your imagination is in gear! These things have been thought of before. The limiting factor in having the receiver hitch built in to your unit is how low you can extend it. I very much like the the geometry that places some weight on the rear wheels but does not cantilever too much off the fronts, or so it appears to me in the photos. In any event it is a very useful attachment you have created!:thumbsup:

Thanks, magicheater That's what I need, weight on the rears. My place has alot of tight places where the tractor can barely fit between other trees that I don't want to damage. So the less equipment I have to take into those areas the better.
