Built-From-Scratch Trailer-Mounted Log Loader
 |
 |
The trailer measures 15 1/2 ft. long by 5 ft., 8 in. wide and is hydraulically operated by a Lawson 8 hp. gas engine. Logs are loaded onto the trailer by the grapple, which is supported by a boom that rotates on front of the trailer. The bucket opens up to 33 1/2 in. wide.
“I bought this log loader from someone else who had built it from scratch, modeling it after an Anderson clam trailer,” says Burgener. “I use this rig often as I love to be out working in the woods. It can handle logs up to 8 ft. long by 22 in. in diameter. I sit on a seat at the front of the trailer and use valves on a control box to operate everything.
“After I bought the unit, I put on Ford wheel rims and installed 31 by 10.5 by 15-in. white-lettered tires, which I got from a friend. He and I horse trade for different things so they didn’t cost me anything.”
