Design and Fabrication of Log Pulling Arch

Timber production is only one of the reasons that families own woodlands, many owners like the idea of being able to cut and use some of their own timber, regardless of whether you are gathering fire wood for your own use or making lumber and wood products for a profit, removing logs or poles from the woods can be challenge, this is especially true because most wood land owners do not have commercial logging equipment specifically designed to safely and efficiently drag and haul logs from the woods. In many instances their designs can make them inherently dangerous when dragging timber from the woods. A number of steps can be taken to ensure your safety when dragging logs and poles from the woods with tractors or four wheelers, and a number of equipment manufacturers have designed attachments to allow for the safe removal of timber with these types of equipment. A large number of attachments have been designed to help wood land owners safely haul logs out of the woods while there are many different designs, they all have one thing in common with commercial logging equipment: They are designed to lift the front end of the logs off the ground. This issue is extremely important. If the front end of logs remain on the ground they can easily hang on rocks, stumps, and uneven ground as they are dragged. This often happens unexpectedly and farm tractors and four wheelers react by raising the front end. When these types of equipment are put under this stress they can quickly become unstable, hence a log pulling arch is designed and fabricated.
