LOG LIFT TRAILER vs 7000 pound OAK

Well, The Hudson Warrior saw mill is just about ready so we have been gathering logs. This RED OAK is the biggest so far weighing in at over 7000 pounds. We started off under powered then added the log lift on the trailer. Will it lift the 7000 lbs?

Holy cow Doug! Those are some monster trees! I was more worried about the trailer being able to hold the weight! Looks like it handled it like a champ with the modifications! Whew!

@BFTEgodswarrio5939 4 жыл бұрын

Doug great job except for one thing that is bothering me, l don't know what its called but yall need one. Tow trucks have them we had them at the house moving outfit. When cabling that much weight you need a cable cover incase the cable breaks it takes the cable to the ground, and it keeps the cable from doing the whip effect. It should be at least 4 feet by 3 feet a weighted with something to pull it towards the ground. Also the cable crimps that hold the hook on will pull out after time. Saw a video were guy was winching his jeep out of a situation, the cable let loose at the crimped hook, and his jeep went backwards for 200feet and you know the rest of the story. Be safe ✌🐓🤘🖖😎 one more thing put a long roller on the back of the trailer for help getting it to move better.

@boomer5030 3 жыл бұрын

Kenny said right, use a snatch block to increase the capacity of the winch in two ways. The snatch block doubles the line pull and that leave less cable on the drum. that prevent your professional windup knots and the smaller number of cable wraps on the drum increases the power of the winch.

@kennybaughman5032 4 жыл бұрын

Use a snatch block and double the winch line then the winch will pull double its weight and the winch pulls easier

Double the winch line it doubles the pull but not the strength of the cable i run winch truck and I'm not going to pretend to know it all but its a great way to break a cable and take out a window or loose a limb on bigger winches its a great way to help but on the smaller winches the safety buffer is much less meaning that if its a 1000lbs winch the cable is 1000 lbs pull it will break at 2000 so when you double the cable its still only rated for 2000 now you are going to break something

Hey Doug, word of caution when milling yard trees. They can have a lot of metal in them you can't see. Everything from nails and fence wire to bullets and BBs. The tree just grows around those things over time without a trace until you hit them with a saw. I'm not sure about oaks, softwoods will have a grey stain around the metal but by the time you see that it might be too late. A metal detector might be a good investment.

You have to wind that cable up on the winch gradually level by level to save your cable . When you do it that way it saves your cable & it gives your winch more power .
