ATV Log Skidder Now Even Better ATV S “A few years ago FARM SHOW published an article on my home-built 2-wheeled log skidder that rides on a pair of 10-in wheels Vol 38 No 1 The front end of the log was chained to a cross member located just ahead of the wheels I used my Suzuki 4-WD ATV to pull it It let me haul big trees out of the woods with less damage than using a big tractor ” says Eric Petrevich Glen Gardner N J “I recently rebuilt the log skidder so that it works even better All I have to do is back the skidder up over a log then wrap a chain around the log and hook it onto the hook on the skidder As I pull forward the log will raise itself and automatically drop down to the ground when I stop I don’t have to lift roll hoist or manipulate the log in any way It’s a simple design that works great ” Petrevich used 2 1/2-in sq tubing to fashion a V-shaped frame for the 2-wheeled skidder He made a square arch from the same material For the slider bar to which the log is chained he used 2-in pipe The slider bar runs from the tongue back to the top of the arch He mounted the skidder’s original wheels on homemade weld-on spindles and matching hubs To use the skidder he positions it over a log and wraps a chain around the end of it then hooks the chain to a hook on the slider bar As he pulls forward the hook slides up the bar lifting the end of the log Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Eric Petrevich Glen Gardner N J farmshow@megageek com
