Arbor Trolley, Testing capacity!!!

[Theocus]

We tried to break it again but it coped. This Cedar must weigh close to 400kg.

 

Flipping heavy and it did start making a few interesting noises but the wood it out and away!

aww poor lad at the back looks like he's been dragging the log and his mate up a steep lawn, whens the motorised version out?

Ahh yes the greenhorns first week!! Thought we would test him a little, I did the pulling though. The trolley is great if you get it balanced properly. The hard bit is getting it on the trolley in the first place!! Think we may of maxed our with this one!

i think that cedar weighs more like 200k. though still impresive.

i have used one a few times now and its a great bit of kit. dragging full 10 to 15 meter multi stemmed cypress trees out in 3 to 4 drags instead of 30 to 40 drags is a big bonus. It is expensive yes but will pay for itself by not wearing out your body dragging and lifting logs like normal.

Funny you should say that - I've been experimenting with our Arb Trolley, our Belle Micro Dumper and a hitch. Reckon it could be the first micro forwarder!

How did you get it up those ramps into the trailer? That's some serious weight

We used a fiddler block and a VT to stop it running back. Worked a treat, I got mine from jonesie at the show, really handy for loads of things.

We use our Arb trolley a huge amount, just saved endless dragging of small amounts,
