Hi Ross, do i need a headboard? seems to work well without one, what is the headboard for? to stop me throwing logs at the tractor? if i really need one i can make one quite easily.

Nice set up.

 

I'd put a head board on it. It will stop any timber comming forward into the crane or tractor. Also you can chap the logs up against to flush the ends up for neat roadside stacks.

Ok that,s enough reasons to make a headboard, i,l have a look on the scrap pile see what steel i have. Anyone know what make of trailer it is? The crane is an LV STAR.

I would put some heli gaurds on

Speaking from bitter experience those pipes look like being snagged when turning unless that's the yellow rope purpose. Good useful crane (with linkage lugs) and safe colours.

 

Have you fixed road lights on the back? I used magnetic versions to avoid damage in woods. Police here often check as motorbike area and would not see it stopped until too late.

I,m going to tidy the pipes up to stop them snagging when turning, not that i,ve had any problems, yet. I hang a trailer board on the back with luggage elastics.

When you make the headboard make the gaps smaller than your smallest product. On the forwarder i drive the headboard has 70mm gaps. Unforuntaly the smallest top diameter that we cut is 50mm. It's a pain in the backside when stuff comes through and hits the king post or slew pots. Its also a pain to unload it back off.
