You are one crafty devil Mr. Outlaw. I don't know what I wish I had more, that rig or those logs. O:)

Food for thought where you punch the hole through the tube and have that Bolt probably a good idea to get a grade 8 Automotive Bolt. regular soft steel bolts you find at the hardware store you'd be amazed and how quickly that hole in that tube will wear right through it. Another option is to drill a bigger hole and weld in a piece of round tube so puts the weight evenly on the bolt and not in a cutting shearing action. You may have already done that but just a thought

I'm already on it Paul. Those are 2 very large grade 8 bolts. The biggest I could find.
Zuma:
How do you unload?
A while back I would easily fulcrum jack with blocks one end of a log
high enough to enter the rear of my maxi van.
Then simply back up. !2-14 foot logs 16' dia. no problem. Tie to something
sturdy and drive away to unload. Needed to steak the log at far end
once and a while. )W( )W(

I pull the logs off with a UTV when I get them to my splitting stand. I believe I could make a position locking mechanism for the arch and unload them with that if I had to. Right now just dragging them off the back is working good.
Zuma:
Cool, That would help with objects like wood stoves. (S)
