I've used an arb trolley before, can slind slabs off log and keep in horizontal plane on trolley if that makes sense (or i can come down with my Avant and labour for a day ?)

Hi @Kav I was looking through ebay for Carpet Trolleys and came across the Arb trolley..or copy.
Hadn't considered it till now and it does , or could have multiple uses moving some of the stuff in the round. 
Thanks for the offer of Avant help. This is a hobby for me and doesn't generate enough for me to pay for labour, but the offer is much appreciated as is the Arb Trolley inspiration. 

Thanks  Bob

Hi I have the same problem also getting sawlogs to my mill is becoming a problem and at the moment I dont have much cash as all my shows,country fairs got cancelled so following this with interest do show us what you go with

Cheers Mark

Hi Mark,

  Logs to the mill is less problem - luckily ....I don't want to go the forklift route.
If I can get them on the trailer (ifor LM) usually Vermeer/ Avant / Telehandler whatever.... I have dollied up a log-deck to get them on to the Logosol or I just roll them off and mill with the Portable.

As here...

Then the awkward one that had to be milled on the deck as I couldn't roll it any further. 
This is the one that caused my too heavy to lift boards.

Hi I was just looking at carpet trolleys on ebay about 150 quid and with a long handle added then may work especially if you could put tyres with air instead of solid as I find air filled tyres work better on rough ground good luck with getting something sorted ,I need to learn to weld better then I could make my own .

Hi Mark, 

 I get you. I could weld something up... In the past I would have. Might have to dig it out. Trouble is. I'll overcook it and end up with something so heavy it'll defeat the purpose. Then I look at Sttein trolleys and their copies and think...I can do that for under £400. 
Back to sq one.
