winter arch

[mitchmaine]

hey donn, i was wondering how your rig actually worked too. does the arch fall forward over the load to where you can chain it short, as you move forward, the load stays put for a moment and pulls the arch backwards and up as you go forward til that front chain comes taut and you go??? tell us how you hook, please. thanks, mitch

Mitch, You got it exactly, When the sled moves forward, first the arch goes up and over lifting the log and then when the front chain comes taut the log starts moving. I will try to take better pictures today.

Here are a few more pictures of the arch.

Thank you Donn, that was fantastically thorough picture documentation, even a novice like myself can follow the construction of your winter arch. Now if only I had taken those welding classes that I was tempted to sign up for.
