Not much, logs rolling forward under their own steam are a pain.

 

My Japa rack is about 2m long and has a rise of about 225m approx. from memory but using the multiple holes in the legs this can be adjusted,

 

Put plates onto the bottoms of the legs to stop it sinking if not on hard standing. You can always fine tune the angle using bits of scaffold board under the feet.

 

Build additional front to back beam (s) to allow the loading of short ( say 5 foot) logs.

A question for you.

 

If I build a raised log deck as per usual do you set it up with room for you to fit between the in feed on the processor and end of deck? The reason I ask is when the roundwood is a bit awkward they sometimes need a shove to get them onto the in feed. If there is no gap it is a along walk around to give the log a push.

 

Hope that makes sense.
