What angle for home made log deck?

[Woodworks]

yes I was looking at mikey10s on this page http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/35342-anybody-got-log-deck-2.html

 

Still a fair sized trailer you have there. Do you ever get the log rolling down unplanned like Alycidon mentions.

There was certainly a BIG all singing and dancin' trailer with a crane, hydraulic powered feed rollers and needing 100hp to pull. Very nice too if you're in that league.

Scale it down to your size though and I'm sure you will be surprised how easy things become. Mine is a 5 ton trailer and I load it with enough sticks to make about eight one cubic meter bags. So at a rough guess using the little Fraser trailer as a datum you will end up with enough timber onboard to produce four one meter bags. Plenty to be getting on with.

Thanks so much I will look into it. 4 cube per loading would do me just fine.

with current tractor we just cut into five foot lengths and load with tractor loader into trailer, long as either you got a helper to roll log into bucket or something to gently nudge against its very productive. would love forks for it but cant convince work its good idea.

 

the lil kubota in pictures is only 24hp, fraser trailer is almost 17 years old now, done well really, one set of tyres, one ram and a sheet of steel for floor have been repairs, modification was changing from a conventional drawbar to a ring for pickup hook. its now towed by 45hp john deere
