log trolley

[dippy]

First attempt at making anything like this. It will take logs upto 500kg

Nice little job, well done

Looks good mate nice job!

Clarke 135te but have a lincon which I thought it needed wire drive wheels, cause it wasn't feeding wire. Found out it had a 2" piece of wire in the hose which was making the wheels slip

Nice job, it's got me thinking about something along similar lines. Not a criticism but would it be more comfortable to use with wheelbarrow type handlebars i.e. parallel to the wheels?

 

[dippy]

Its easier to pull than push 500kg and the handles remove to attach a tow bar for a quad.also they extend for longer logs

 

[dippy]

If you are loading a large log on, then you stand it on end

 

[jedmand]

That is a fantastic idea to have the handle removable for a tow hitch love your work!

 

[Paul99]

Ah I see - I did wonder if the handlebars were dual purpose and perhaps hooked over a mount on a garden tractor or something - a swappable tow bar and quad to pull it is a better solution though .

This is a belt grinder I made with pallet truck wheels, if you can make it out for all the stuff in background

I think I should have put this belt grinder pic in a separate thread. Has any body else made one of these. Just a couple of belt guides to put on to stop the belt flapping about along its length

Looks suspiciously like the Stein Arbour Trolley. Must get round to building myself one some day
