I wasn't all that impressed until you unloaded. At which point i became very impressed. Very nice design

The logs should be side loaded also.

When I was younger I would throw logs like that by hand into the trailer. This seems great.

Ya know what I'm going to build now...THIS TRAILER...Some minor changer in loading, but a very easy way to make a tough job easy...Well Done.

This the best design trailer I’ve seen so far. Nice and easy for old guys like us.

Brilliant trailer. Well thought out, designed and engineered. Solid + practical. Respect....

I enjoyed watching you load and unload the logs. Very nice trailer, good job.

A $3000 lesson that I learned the hard way - Put the Automatic Transmission in Neutral, set the park brake and choke the wheels. When you are jocking logs and such. The Park Paw in the transmission will break off and grind up the transmission.

Really nice design and well built. Well done!!!

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen in the log world! Amazingly impressive!!!!!

Goddamn that is a badass super efficient layout and design. I’m jealous

Whatt a GREAT design....! Thanks for posting this Vid..! Gordon

I purchased it from Mike. It's a great logging trailer, cleared many properties with it. I made a few adaptations to it like a heavier duty cross bar to handle bigger logs. I've put 4' diameter logs on this thing with no problem. I'm done with it now on to other things I wont need any wood for a long time so if someone wants to buy it from me I have it on craigslist, NH. ~Jason Peterson

One of those $15 Wireless Winch remotes would make the a perfect setup.

Great job my friend , no aching back for you . I’m jealous, I want one .

Cool trailer...wish I had one! STAY SAFE

Pretty slick ideas here. If anything one could have manual off loading ramps and just roll the logs off manually as well but yeah your way works well.

Bad Ass simple strait to the point, I love it!

Very nice load and unload feature.

This is freaking brilliant, how you dont have more views is a mistery!! Awesome job, one day I will make myself something similar.

@YellowMetalDriver The winch is right where it needs to be for a few reasons. The height of the snatch block is what matters. The slabs in the background are the clue that these logs are at my sawmill. Thanks Mike

Awesome- well done, thanks for sharing!

That was a fun vid to watch, glad I took a chance on it.

@Begbucks Thanks. I get one end up, reset the choker on the back of the log, leave the snatch block on the boom and let the winch push it up.

You flash git! I love it!!

Magic is in the UNloading. Nice!

That's a pretty cool trailer.

The winch has 80' of cable, I carry a log arch in the truck that clips to the cable and keeps the log up out of the dirt. Thanks

logtrailer. That good hard work

That is a great set up

Sweet..maybe a pully on the side to load sideways in the future, or strictly drag it up the rear?.. Great system as long as we don't have to use our backs..

I wish I could click “love”. Well done, man. A real thing of beauty.

Quite right. I often get the chance of some logs but I have to get in, load up and get out quickly ( perfectly legally of course, it's usually at the end of someone's shift or the wood's in the way ) and I can dispose of the sawdust at home. Unfortunately I don't fancy the cost of shipping one of these to the UK

work smart not hard. great design.

Nice set up!

I love it Well done

The swiss army knife of trailers!

@sick2003f150 The trailer is welded with 2x3 square tube with several wall thicknesses.

That is the coolest trailer I have seen do u have build plans for this very cool man great video

I am thoroughly impressed. I must inquire. Are you producing these trailers for sale? If so, who would I contact to order one?

I like your log trailer

That's nice thanks for sharing

Excellent! Well thought out, and nicely constructed. A compact rig that makes quick easy work of it. Beats hell out of a Skid Steer!

@digbyodell2924

I agree, looks like a nice trailer. Doesn't really replace a skid steer since it's lacking some versatility in that it takes longer to load and it probably gets difficult to put on logs higher and higher and it's difficult to put up a good stack of logs when unloading, but specifically for hauling logs the trailer has it whupped.

Hi Jason Glad it worked out for you Mike

Thanks There was only one barb in that cable and I knew exactly where it was. Mike

@sick2003f150 It depends on the winch and hydraulics but somewhere between $6000and$8000. 16-18 cord would mean you're in the north country.

WOW that is awesome i really could use one of those.

Nice job !

Wow, just wow. My compliments sir! If I continue on my current business trajectory, I'll have to contact you or get busy welding.

great trailer!

I second that!! Nice job!

You are a genius 👏

wow ! is very good work !

Nice job. I wonder if this could be slightly improved by adding a rolling pipe at the end of the trailer to lesson the resistance of dragging the logs up onto the trailer.

nice trailer good work

I looked on CL for this. I love it. Can someone advise where or if still for sale? Sweet.

Grazie Tanto Mike

Nice video

I’m loving it

I like it. How many logs can you got on it? How much?

Great trailer, well done, well thought out...the unloader is what sends it over the top. .....if I didnt already have a Farmi winch and Tractor, I would be a customer. I can haul 5 ten foot logs that size, however I will sweat much more than you do, in rigging it up.

Great idea, did u make the whole trailer what size are the cross beams on the trailer

Now that´s a cool Tool.

Smooth job papaw smooth

Грамотно 👍👍💪💪🤙

Awesome!

I like it! Can you fill trailer? I thought it would have a higher articulating boom to lift load higher but I have a loader anyway, I would like to see it full before I would consider a purchase but definitely interested

Nice trailer.

Un trailer geniale!

Great trailer you made, you should do well if the price is right.

Awesome. I'm jealous

Pretty slick.

You still building these?

This is great! How far can it pull a log out of the woods?

I like it 👍

incredible! Well done..

Just brilliant

Thanks

A most impressive piece of equipment, I'll send you a pair of protective gloves for when you're letting that cable run thro' your hand. Even the smallest of pieces of stray wire can rip your hand badly - and you don't have our 'Free' National Health Service' (NHS) yet! Best wishes

Great setup for those who don't have a loader. Does your battery ever run out of energy before you get it full or do you keep your vehicle running?

+logtrailer Are you using some form of deep cycle battery on the trailer?

@coburnlowman

As in the above post my batteries drain fast loading up the side on skidding poles. I got several decent gear reducer boxes and plan to build a small gas engine winch using the gear box and belt drive it so it'll be reversible. Personally i haven't seen a battery winch big enough to pull logs that didn't drain any deep cell quickly.

Best wishes, then. Did you work from technical drawings, or modify as you used the wonderful thing?

I would love to see the build for this thing !!!

Nice design. Did you build it?

That's smart I gotta make one

Are there plans for this available?

Nice rig.

It was nice, good when it's long distance.

Cool trailer, should try and have something to hold the logs right before you unload so you could saw it up at waist height ,

You have to learn to take it easy. That is too much heavy lifting for you, damn it! Great job. Toss it together in an afternoon?

thats slicker than snot on a door knob

love it

NICE!!

WOW thats impressive

Are plans for this trailer for sale? What's powering the hydraulic cylinder? Thank you.!
