A dock ladder clamp

But I can't get interested in that now. I'm watching hardly any TV lately (except when on the treadmill during inclement weather) and I can't get interested in reading anything but the newspaper yet. But I am starting to get back to the shop once in a while. http://members.goldengate.net/dforem..._ladder_clamp/ Next project: make a steel plate, drill some holes in it and weld it to a receiver tube insert. A Harbor Freight winch will bolt to the plate. Kevin has a whole bunch of pesky shrubs he wants to pull and thought this might be an easy way to do it. For pulling smaller bushes and the like I use a chain to noose the offending plant, attached to the loader bucket on my compact tractor. Back when I had a much larger backhoe I did the same with fairly large trees up to ~4" dia. Northern Tool lists some grabbers and chains made specifically for that purpose, but I used normal 5/16" system 7 chain with no issues. I would be a bit concerned with using a winch due to cable stretch issues. How about something modeled after an engine hoist to rip the shrubs out? |
