I've seen videos on youtube that show tractor mounted log loaders being used.These are mostly Scandinavian or European made.The ones I've seen in North America all have the loader mounted on a trailer.Does anyone have experience with the tractor mounted version?
Thanks,Mick

There is a  velmet forestry tractor for sale here in Nova Scotia.  It has a harvester and a graple for it.  It would be fun to use on small woodlots.    With the high american dollar it would be a deal for those from the US.

I have no experience with a tractor mounted one just a trailer mounted one. What is it you want to do with it?

bill m,
the idea is to use it to sort,stack firewood logs where I process my firewood.Nothing quite as large as the one posted.

Would a thumb on a backhoe do the job for you?

Farmerjw,
Well now,there's an idea that fell thru the cracks in what passes for my brain.I even have a Ford 550 backhoe that I could mount a thumb on.Thanks for the idea,nothing like using what you already own.
I've been doing a lot of interior painting to freshen up the house for Christmas and I think the fumes are getting to me!

I almost didn't post that reply thinking it way to obvious.  Glad it might be of help.  8)
