Thanks beenthere. I figured it out... I think lol. 
The Vermeer is a retired trencher I'm going to convert into a mini skidder. I use winch and ramps to parbuckle logs onto truck. Also use side racks and a swiveling homemade crane with ATV winch and tongs to load big rounds if I need to.

Thanks, that is a Lawn Boy GT18H garden tractor I have done a lot of work to it, converted it to 4wd, added power steering, built 3pt. Hitch with hydraulic top link, beefed up front frame section, larger tires all filled with fluid, etc. Lawn Boy garden tractors were made by Gilson and only sold a couple of years around 90-91 then Toro bought lawn boy out and shut down the riders.

I picked up a 16' tandem axle camper frame trailer last night for peanuts I'm going to turn into a log trailer and bucking platform.

Oh what the heck. Heres the new beast. I love it. Loader is metavic, i built up the hydro pack with a honda, i built the log bunks/assembly, the main trailer frame was done in pennsylvania.

Its been awesome so far. I still have a weekened of tidying and paint in the fall.

Nice setup.
What's the lift capacity of the loader and how many hp and gallons is your power pack ?

[brendonv]

2-3k they say. It's strong.

I built the power pack with a 13hp Honda and cassappa pump what I think was 7gpm. I have the specs of you need them. I can't run it full throttle as its too fast. Run it about 2500 rpm. Can do 3600
