I Love your videos! I really appreciate the sped up "chipmunk" voice. I have been dealing with a LOT of depression and sadness, and that voice helped cheer me up!

that remote control makes that a one man job and easy great vid Thanx!

Now thats sweet, I like the 2 chains idea, they pull the log to the center of the trailer very well.

I can't believe, the 12 volt electric winch with remote control works so great, so cool. I will search for it online on ebay or amazon, hopefully they will ship to Israel, I must have it.

My dad made something similar in the early 70s.. he took one of those mini pickup trucks.. cut the chassis right behind the cab.. fabricated a trailer hitch in the front. Fabricated and mounted a swiveling cherry picker engine puller on that.. and got the hand crank and cable from a very large boat trailer.. an adapter that to it also... I could go on and on but it was like half the work and twice the load weight

Since it was built years ago the cosy has changed but in todays money I would say that you could get the needed material for it in Estonia for around 200 euros.

Awesome build as always! I wonder why it is that with some projects (this one, ATV tracks, tube bender) you paint them, but others (sawmill, mower, ATV plow) you do not.

@DonnDIY

4 жыл бұрын

It depends on the weather mainly - if it's cold outside I don't paint the projects, and later if I don't have time for them. I will take some time for the sawmill though. However - now I can paint the smaller projects since I have a heated workshop where the paint can dry properly. So I hope all of my future projects get painted.

Looks like your chain anchor on the top wasn’t pivoting with the boom causing one chain to go slack. Hopefully that was a simple fix

The crane swivel plate was intentionally anchored to get the boom pull the log towards the trailer. It swivels when you unlock it.

It bending Bc of the hollow square tubing is 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick which is not meant to hold thousands of lbs if u replace it and tie the welds back in it should not bend

Did the crane redo add any lift capacity? If so wat do u figure...woodland mills has similar ones.. one with crane that has a lift cap of 440 lbs and a dump cap of 650 lbs.im debating whether the greater dump cap or boom capacity is way to go.., urs looks great!

@DonnDIY

It added 100% lift capacity from the sides. Before it didn't have any at all due to the missing side stands / outriggers.

@JohnMcNerney

IF you get the Woodland Mills T-Rex (440# lift, 650# dump capacity, 2000# payload capacity), you can convert it to their Woodland ATV Trailer (no boom, but has 2000# dump capacity. Load logs by using the tailgate as a ramp and winch them aboard). All it takes is replace the T-Rex boom with the post attachment of the Woodland Trailer. I considered both models for use behind my tractor, but decided they were just too light-duty to make good use of my tractor's capabilities. Unfortunately, trailers that are a match for a tractor are many times more expensive.

How many time can you use a life time?

looks great mate. love these types of videos of people building things that they actually need and have thoroughly thought it out without just throwing money at it.

This is absolutely great! We want to build also this crane to be used with our new Red Machine (Honda) TRX 500 tractor. It would be more usefull with hydraulic winch, have you a solution how I can use ATV engine to make power? Where can I find blueprints for the crane? J

I don't have the blueprints for the crane yet but since you're already the second person asking for them I will have to come up with something soon. Usually there are separate power plants for hydraulics - I would recommend one of them, since you can throw it on while you need it and take it off when going trail riding etc. There was a solution from some company providing crank shaft mounted hydraulic pumps but I've forgotten the name...

Nice job of improvement! Maybe a hydraulic winch and swing arms would be nice.
