Log Arches
Anyone ever use one of these with a BX series? I have a new 2380 and need to give it a little extra muscle. Does the length of the grip area allow you to move a larger log?

Is ths what you are asking about? http://www.ezboardwalk.com/Item/ex-atv-log-arch

If so then, yes you can use it with a BX. R1 or bar tires will give you more pulling power or tire chains. Load the tires and use the 4 x 4 if you need to.

Yes!!! Similar, I looked at the one from Northen Tools

Seems they come in lots of sizes. Trying to figure if the boom allows you to carry more weight?

I do not know how rough the terrane is that you are working but the limiting factor will be weight of the BX and it's ability to move the weight. So there are ways around that:

. This will allow you to pick up and drag a pretty good sized log.

Yep, that guy has it figured out. Me, likely bigger around and shorter. Michigan kind of terrain, lol.

if your log diameter is near the same as the upright separation, you may have trouble turning.

Check out Logrite Arches and click on either the Small, Midsize, or Large to fit your need.

There are two main types. Do you want to lift one end of a log and drag it, or do you want to carry a log off the ground?

The two photos posted above are arches that lift one end.

The other style has a long, high tongue and lifts the whole log.

Lil Bro welded up a skidding plate kind of like this ,years ago, and we puled lots of stuff with a Cub garden tractor. As long as the cut end can slide and doesnt dig in you can pull a bunch of weight.
The first one we used was an old car hood. And if you can, build one on the cheap !!
