I Don’t Know If This Is Legal But It Worked

The geometry of a log trailer IS the lifting lever. Back the log trailer over the log and pick your spot.Then lift the tongue of the trailer high into the air until the apex of the trailer rests on the log. Chain it tight at the contact point while the tongue is in the air. Chained? Now pull the tongue back down to the log. The log will lift off the ground. Now ratchet strap it securely,, No winch required.

There are a lot of dogs watching this Adam thinking "Now if I had that level of kit, no stick or log would ever be left behind again" 🐕

Good job, Adam. Good to see a 'country boy' figure it out. Respect. In Namibia, we say, "A farmer makes a plan."

The best part of this video is that you’re going to have a piece of family history that you will never forget where it’s from. Peace

It’s wild what fulcrum, pulleys and will power will accomplish. This was an awesome video. Thanks for keeping all the trials that didn’t work in the vid!

Make more videos at the lake house - tour the inside, go out on a boat, do drone footage, fish on the dock / shore, interview your parents - that place made me feel rich and relaxed.

Kudos to Doug for his structural modifications. They stood up to the ultimate load test!

Lol! I'm sorry friend, but you made this WAY more complicated than it needed to be. The purpose of the long tongue on the arch is use IT as the lever! In the future, once you get the arch over your log, just tip the tongue up in the air until the top of the arch touches the top of the log. Affix your clamps to the top of the log (just as you did) and THEN tip the tongue down using the winch at the FRONT (Closest to your hitch) end of your log! once the tongue is down, affix the safety/transport chains around the log & to the arch front and rear & your ready to tow.

That harmonica solo brought me to tears.

Did a great job. The one thing I would probably use is the tow lights. But you had your parents behind you so all went perfectly.

GOOOOOD MAAAAAAAAWNIN EVERYONE!!…Nice job! You had a great helper too.😊 Looking forward to seeing you saw it & use it I’m sure you’ll Make something from it for the lake house too. Have a day

Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Nice work Adam!!

That worked really well, but for a heavier trailer with same concept. Look into a used LPG tank carrier. They are tandem axle, have removable support bars for bottom of tank, and a massive 12,000 lb winch. Easily carry some very large logs and they are street legal to boot!

The way I figure if it does work then it is absolutely legal, no questions asked!! I think you maxed out the limit with that log.

That's a huge accomplishment. Your parents' Airbnb is so beautiful - wow, what a treasure! Y'all are a hard-working, loving family - great videos. God bless y'all abundantly!! 🥰🙏🥰👍

Sketch level scale . That is gold. Never heard that. Thank you

Can’t wait to see how you get it on the mill. I struggle getting 1500 pounds logs onto mine.

Awesome job, Adam. I can't wait for you to work on that 4200lb white oak. That is some beautiful wood

Adapt, Improvise, overcome!

Superb work! Kudos to you & the family! I can’t wait to see it milled. By the way my son Trevor lives his plaque you made him for Phil. I think he had a tear in his eye. He was quite touched. Thank you again. ❤😊
