Those arches look neat with the rachet to lift the logs. I wonder if they would work with bigger wood though.

Take a larger log and have it in the middle.

Then use two different chains one on each side of the log
hooked low at the sides.
Then hook each one to a different ratchet and
crank up each one individually.

Remember one horse or mule can only move so much.

You could use a larger set of wheels
for more ground clearance on bigger logs.

That was neat. Since I don’t get to do much logging with my horses I love to see videos of it being done. I’m especially fond of Shires so I really liked that vid. Thanks for sharing!
