log truck

[chubz]

Has anyone ever built or owned a log truck like the one the mule loggers on dirty jobs used? I so would like to learn more about it.

I don't know how big of a log is it going to pick up? I have seen them log before on the same channel. The truck had to have help loading bigger ones.

Use the search tab above for side loader truck I'm sure there's a few threads on here about them. There's some reasons they're just about obsolete.

I'm not sure about what type of truck your refering to but I assume it's a sideloader. One thing I know about them is to not load a huge log on an empty truck. We bent the far-side standards on ours by doing so. Get a few smaller logs on first so the big ones will land on them rather than tearing up your truck. Hope this helps.
Have fun!

I have only seen one of them in person. Looks scary as hell to me.

they might be obsolete but it is in my price range
