One thing you MIGHT try. After you have the log pulled up and the two chains around the log, back off the winch, that way all the weight is on the chains and not the small cable and winch. Just a thought.

Thank you i hope to save a lot of money by cutting my own lumber.

Your sawmill blades will be happy you’re using the log arch. Nothing worse on the blade than dirt filled bark from dragging. Thanks as always for sharing, looking great guys.

That log arch works great my neighbor has a portable saw meal inside a small building he has been cutting timber for 20 years and has made a little extra money on the side. He told me that he has gone through 3 motors which is not bad.

I like the log arch, I want an arch built for rocks. Same concept as the one used for lowering vaults into ground for caskets.

Great job, very rewording And satisfying when everything goes smooth. What kind of winch is that?

Thank you so much and yes i love when a plan works out great. the winch is off of an old boat.

Congratulations, You can tell you thought this through as you built it. I now an electric winch would make it easier but I think it would also add in additional failure points, dead battery, broken wire, etc. The only thing I would try, is to use a choker chain around the log for winching so it would tend to roll the log as you pick it up and put it down.
