Kirk,
We tried the ramp thing too, but gave up for chains after the first day, There are times when the logs are so big that we have to put blocks under the tail of the trailer to keep the rear axle of the truck from comming off the ground as we load up the log.

One nice thing about the ramps like david has is being able to load more that one row of logs

Nice pics david!
Got my WM lt40g24, Setworks and debarker in oct. '97, been sawing part time ever since, Moving logs with a bobcat.

Palletmiller,
Here's a picture showing the boom.  Loading a second layer is easy, just drape the rope loop over the top of the logs already loaded.

Palletmiller,  

I use a heavy set of skidding tongs to lift with. I just make sure I'm careful when the log is in the air.



I used a simular setup like David's on my truck before I went with the crane.
WMLT40HDG35, Nyle L-150 DH Kiln, now all I need is some logs and someone to do the work :)
