    Thanks Simon for posting these pictures. Its well built.Having some thing to work from is a large help. I’ll post some pictures as I build mine , hauled the first load of logs with the running gear today and looking forward to building the crane on rainy days this fall.

    Cheers Tristan

    This piece of kit work very well and i have seen it working and was very impressed. The first impression when looking at the wire crane is that it will tip over easy, this is not the case. Loaded with 4 or 5 average size logs first it then becomes very stable and can then load logs up to 2000lb. In picture 6 clockwise, directly under the honda engine you will see where the hydraulic ram goes [ removed to be repaired from this model ] this will lock up the frame which is really necessary. The ackman front axle will travel over everything while maintaining a level load in the bunk. It was mentioned in another post about working steep slopes, well this piece of kit makes the job alot easier. In can be used in conjunction with a sky line, snatch block to good efect. It can be fitted with a trailer for farm use, its down to ones imagination what can be achieved with this piece of kit.
