Suggestions for DIY ATV log arch dimensions

[Erik B]

Finally got a chance to really test the arch this weekend. Before testing, I decided that it was too tall so I lowered it 3". This reduced the angle of the sliding bar about 8 degrees and it's now 34 degrees.

The arch worked great so long as there wasn't much mud. At first, wet red oak and slimey clay based mud led to very disappointing results. A few days with no rain and things started to dry up. I could skid just about anything in the drier conditions.

@sevensandeights Do you have any pictures of it in action?

No pics - too busy working this time because I didn't have much time to spend at camp. Hope to be back in the woods in a few weeks and will take some then.
