    Saw this log skidder made by a pulk manufacturer, though some folks might be interested. Looks like it has steel re-enforcement, but is mostly plastic sheeting.

    I have seen things like that before made from wood or steel. Heard them called log devils or go devils, never tried one though.

    Wow, that tool does not look burly enough for regular use with animals. I have a go-devil I built, which I mostly use with a single horse for large single logs, and it is locust and steel – heavy and durable. When built right, a go-devil is a super tool.

    Is that a binder holding the chain/log tight to the go-devil?

    Also, I imagine the high hitch attachment point on the go-devil is to allow it to pitch forward abit and lift the nose of the log some. That’ll test the moxie of the steel frame.

    Will and Abe would stretch that out in short order.

    I, for one, would like to see photos of it!
