I just ran across this and Howard's comment that he bent his frame. My frame was twisting too with a large log. So I welded up reinforcements at the point of each lifting arm. It seems to stabilize it very well.

A quick comment from your newest subscriber. Love your videos. The lift you did in this video is nearly identical to the 3rd lift I did with my brand new HD36 - and tweaked the frame, resulting in me having to (at my expense of course) purchase two new bunks and install them as close as I could to the rear-most leg of the Log Loader. In other words - while the Log Loader can indeed lift 3,500 pounds, it has to be a short log, that is evenly balanced.Mine was about 18' long with the butt end at same end as sawhead, and still bent the frame - to the extent that it impeded sawhead travel. An expensive and frustrating lesson for me.
