In article .com,
says...
I have a peavey, about 42 inches long I think, and while it has some
small use in logs around 6 inches wide, its useless for anything
larger. Which is why I was asking. I used a hi lift jack today to help
out, but jacking up the log. It worked ok, to stuff another log under
it.

WHat I want is a large tripod device with a long horizontal beam, and a
skidding tongs on each end, and a way to lift up the whole tree a
couple of feed. Wouldn't that be nice?!!? (But it would prob weigh in
more than the trailer)

Ha! Sounds kinda like my cobbled-up technique. I used an engine hoist
to lift an end and rolled another log under the first. But, I was just
cleaning up tornado damage, so I didn't need a long-term solution.
Yeah, something like you described would be sweet if you needed to do
this sort of thing regularly.
