"Logging Arch" For ATV's

"Logging Arch" For ATV's ATV'S ATV'S 27-3-9 You can use your 4-wheel ATV to move logs safely and with less power using this new "logging arch." The unit can also be used behind a small tractor or pickup. The two-wheeled rig lifts most of the log off the ground, reducing drag and keeping dirt off the log. It's equipped with a 3,200-lb. 2-speed manual winch; a 25-ft. long, 3/8-in. dia. choker; and two-side release snatch blocks. A pair of handles on the arch is used to lift it up and over the log. The unit handles logs up to 20 in. dia. and 16 ft. long or even longer. Logs less than 10 ft. long can be balanced so they can be fully suspended. For longer logs a second arch can be used on back, allowing you to carry both ends of the log. "It's lightweight and easy to maneuver which makes it easy to position over logs. A doubling option allows the winch to handle up to 6,000 lbs.," says a spokesman. The company makes several other logging arch models, including a "junior arch" equipped with tongs instead of a winch; and a "fetching arch" designed to pull logs up steep hillsides. The largest model handles logs up to 4 1/2 ft. dia. The logging arch sells for $1,475, the junior arch for $430, and the fetching arch for $1,575.
