    I was impressed by the versatile log carrier and cart that I saw at the field days and wish I had talked with the demonstrator when I was there. I thought I heard the name John Plowden which I recognized from the forum here but am not sure that was he. Can anyone point me to a web site or dealer for that unique equipment which seem to me to be very practical for firewood moving in longer pieces.

    I’ve worked with John and I’m sure that is the one you saw. You can find his web site I think by doing a Google search for horse logging equipment or for John Plowden. He is really handy and made up that wagon which can also be converted to an arch.
    Good luck.

    Here is John’s website:
    http://www.plowdenhorselogging.com/

    As probably the closest thing to a “competitor” that John had at the APFD ( I manufacture the PiggyBack Logging Arch) and after seeing John at work in the woods with his arch, I can say that it is a very nifty & handy piece of equipment. Light weight, rugged, easy to maneuver, well thought out and executed. And versatile with the wagon & arch pieces. It was the equipment highlight of the show for me. Good going John.

    PS Those who missed the Field Days missed a great opportunity for making connections. Plan to go next year if possible. A great “huzah!” to all involved.

    That was John. He definitely put on a good show.
