3-Pt. Mounted "Lifter" To Drag Big Logs Out Of The Woods
 ✖  |
My homemade, 3-pt. mounted "lifter" lets me use my 1951 Ferguson 30 hp tractor to drag big logs out of the woods. It consists of a pair of 4-in. dia., thick-walled pipes welded together and reinforced at the top. A horizontal pin is welded onto the bottom of each pipe and on top there's a bracket that hooks up to the tractor's 3-pt. top link. I welded on four hooks where the pipes come together and hook chains onto them.
To drag a log, I back up as close as possible until the lifter is centered above the log, then let the 3-pt. down and hook a chain as short as possible around the log. Then I raise the 3-pt. and go. I can drag as many as three logs at once. (Craig Froman, 3412 Magnolia, English, Ind. 47118 ph 812 338-2159)
