Thanks.
I agree.
That's why I said,
"I also have this 3-point attachment I bent skidding a nice sized red oak top with most of the branches still attached(won't do that with it again
). As I look at my own pictures I'm getting the thought that I could build sides for the trailer and use the attachment to build a log arch. All it needs is the middle section taken out and use the part where the arms would attach for the wheel mounting points. Cut out in between and I could essentially build the arch in the video. Thanks for all the advice guys
.",you may not have seen this in between the last two pictures, or maybe I didn't explain well.
I meant not using the trailer at all, but using the implement as the structure for the arch and mounting wheels where the 3-point arms would have mounted.
The main problem as far as why the attachment bent was my misuse of it. I was pulling a large top with all the branches attached and jerking it around another tree putting pressure on the top piece from an angle it was never designed for. I had done a lot of skidding with it and never had a problem with straight pulls bending anything even with the front end of the tractor hanging off the ground (with the loader and bucket on
). I knew better and went outside my own good judgement, it may have been a sub conscious decision I was making because I wanted buy the winch
, I knew that thing wouldn't hold up now I have to buy the winch lol. Even with the proper tool you need to make straight pulls, anyone have a redirect set-up with quick release they want to sell before I tip my tractor over to prove to myself I need one
.I will mess with the attacment at a later date as it's not a high priority, but I like having options
