Nice setup. A pair of log tongs is soooo much handier than the chain setup you have on the winch.

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I bought a set of tongs to go with the trailer but with our smaller diameter wood, they would often come off of the log. They work really well on wood that is 8" diameter and up but not so great on the smaller stuff. That's why I converted over to the choker and grab! Thanks for the note! Jason

Thanks for the video. I'm surprised how big of a log it will handle. That's impressive.

If they get any bigger than that, it's backhoe time! Thanks for watching!

Awesome, thanks. I’m actually building one. I appreciate some of the dimensions I was curious as to what some of the lengths were and lifting capacity. I’ve never seen one in person so I’m designing from what I see.

@@OakMountainAcotts yess! I was curious as to the boom lengths per piece, It sort of looks like 2x4 tubular tubing for the actual boom and stick itself is that correct? Thank you I really appreciate it!

How's she goin'? Great job on the demo of the trailer specs. It sure looks like a very capable unit and if it will lift that 16 foot log, I think it will handle most anything!!! Thanks for sharing and take care!!

Jason thanks for the demo. The kranman website is ratherly poor on information on crane and trailer specs. Kind regards, Richard Lankheet

@@OakMountainAcotts No thanks, you make great video's. Here in the Netherlands we had a nice week of spring weather ( Sunny and about 20 C ). Today and next week it's gonna be cold again. We even have a little bit snow today.

good video , did this trail put a lot of tung weight on your atv ,

@OakMountainAcotts

I found the weight to be well balanced on the trailer and not excessive on the hitch. I was concerned with the amount of weight I hauled though as it was well over the engineered spec for the ATV. I upgraded the ATV to a B2601 Kubota tractor which seems to be paired well with the trailer!

Is it nicer to be running the trailer from the tractor hydraulics instead of the power unit that you need for when you are using the ATV?

@OakMountainAcotts

Hi Al, they both have their pros and cons.... I liked standing up to run the controls on the ATV compared to kneeling on the seat of the tractor but the tractor is properly sized for the trailer and load while the ATV was at its' limit.

What hydraulics does it run on. Did you have to add some on the tractor?

Hi Josh, the trailer needs 3 gpm flow. One feed from the tractor and one return so you just have to have one rear remote on the tractor. Thanks for watching!

Where in nb are you? I just bought a small 13 acre parcel in whites cove. . Love to have one of these trailers. Not sure if it's worth 25000 for what I have.

We are outside of Fredericton. The trailers are fantastic but for me there needs to be a payback. It needs to handle 100 cords of firewood as a minimum but with all of our gear combined, the total volume is much higher. We are developing our Woodlot for continuous and sustainable harvest so my plan is to look after the gear and work it for the next 20 years. If you do the math on that, it makes sense to invest. Hope this helps!

Approximately how much does your trailer retail for?

Hi Mike, we paid a little over $22K CDN plus HST for the trailer when we purchased it. This included the upgrade with remote controlled winch and the extend-a-boom options. Pretty expensive but it seems to be working out well for us. Take care, Jason.
