Heavy-Duty Log Tongs WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 25-6-27 William Winter, Tower Hill, Ill., made a set of heavy duty log tongs out of heavy angle iron.
The tongs are made out of 4-in. angle iron and measure about 2 ft. long. Winter cut a curved section out of each angle iron to fit around the log, then bolted the two angle irons together to form a hinge. He welded on a couple of steel spikes at the bottom to grip the log, and he also attached a length of chain to the top of both angle irons.
"I use it on my tractor's front-end loader to drag logs to my log splitter. It saves a lot of lifting," he says.
