Yes mate, wondered what the hydraulics was all about? Some sort of crane system?

Yeah log arch, 12v hyd pump and a 12v warne winch. I think there are a few pics of it on this section a few pages back

Thanks. I'll look back?

Always looking for better ways to get those awkward logs onto the back of the wagon.?

Looks like a great bit of kit[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Hopefully that gives an idea of how it works, it’s not perfect but pretty strong in use. Possibly I will get around to putting a roller or a skid plate over back edge of floor and get my arse into gear and fit the legs to support the back when lifting heavy stuff. 
must admit I was lucky as got the winch out of a skip and had a mate turn the pins out of some stainless bend restrictor bolts. Galvanising of the frame done locally has proven to be far superior than ifor Williams attempts ?.?

Very useful looking setup I must say.

Bit of milling.

Was asked to resize some old dry Elm for a mate ??. I’m no expert on Timber characteristics as it ages but certainly did not expect it to be so hard, it was destroying ripper 37 blades like they were made of plastic. One of those favours I had to finish but definitely an eye opener and a wood to avoid in the future, unless there is a specific blade,tooth,angle etc for it ??.
