This is how some of us small timers do it.

Looks like a good set up.
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

It works and is not too large of an eye sore.  I should paint it.

I agree nice design of the arch. Looking to build one to move logs out from tight places in residential settings that my truck can't go. Keep up the good work!

I like it I just built a way to mount a winch and got some ramps to put logs on my trailer hoping to try it out next week.

Hey Sixacres,

Another small timer hear. Your log arch looks nice but I can't see much detail from your pic. Like Justallen1, I too am putting together ideas of building an arch. I have plenty of material and I'm a decent bubble gum welder but I am trying to finalize where to put braces, hangers and a winch. If it's not too much trouble, could you post a few more pictures. I like the idea of holding the log off the ground instead of dragging the back half. In searching the internet, I've seen a wide variety of designs and I have settled on something like yours.  Thanks.

Put a bigger hand winch than you think you need on it.  When mine broke it almost broke my hand.

Plus, if you paint it, you will never be able to find it again.   ;D

I think you meant to say GOOD TIMERS!!! It looks more like a thing of beauty, or a pile of raw function, without sugar glaze.
It's the going that counts not the distance!
