The ram on the model must be capable of lifting 500kgs, thats a decent sized log, even if you put 200kgs of counter ballast at the rear to prevent tipping....

No doubt there are other models about, seems none use a 'boom' style, I wonder why?

 

Also the diy method, if feasible could get you something decent for less than 4k

I'll put this here.... I think this would suit a few people I know

That's awesome Marc, especially the text on the grab.

My kids would love it for putting logs straight into the log basket.

We have a cheap tracked barrow we bought online, loud slow thing but does a job and will dump the muck into the back of a drop side cabstar, we were looking at trying to modify it to take pallet forks and grab for plant pots. If you look around on line it can be done although fabricating and piping etc.... it a problem if your mechanically minded and can play around getting it right.

The problem most of these small unit have is either there speed or lifting capacity.

 

How much will that grab lift Marc?

Looks a cracking bit of kit and some clever fabrication (which wouldn't be cheap and quite time consuming)

But i imagine any log lifted has a fair bit of leverage over the barrow.

 

Often u'd be quicker cutting it in 2 and stcking it on ur shoulder (but i know that gets tiring long term) or cutting it in 2 and throwing it in the skip with a load of other logs:sneaky2: which defeats all the clever engineering
