TMW-81 Heavy Duty Steel 3 Point Log Skidding Arm for Category 1 Lawn Tractors with 4 Feet of Chain and Category 1 Mounting Hitch, Black

Ok, I was skeptical when I ordered this. But, it was exactly what I needed. Assembly was straightforward, though the instructions are not super clear, and the hardware does not appear to be grade 8, but all bolts are appropriate to the application. It has held up well for several weeks of log dragging, and is built pretty well. I use this on a subcompact Kubota and have been skidding black locust ogs in the 600-1000lb range. I bought a grapple hook as well as the boom does not come with one. Works well, is easy to operate and honestly I don't have any complaints. No, the welds are not perfect and I bet the powder coat on it will flake with some time, but, for the price and performance, it can't be beat. Would it hold up to 5000lb logs? I don't know, but for medium to smaller logs it's great. After doing some logging, I had a 20'+ elm come down on our place in a storm. Diameter at the base where it broke was around 10". Hooked up the entire broken tree and easily dragged it uphill to the burn pile whole. I think I'm gonna get a lot of use out of this simple implement.

Package arrived sooner than expected and was destroyed...however everything checked out. Skidder was easy to assemble but parts were warped and it was necessary to use an imapct to snug everything up. Paint looks good. Chain that came with it looks cheap and have not used it yet. Very handy tool for the money. - inexpensive - decent paint - effective tool Review to be updated

easy assembly ,quality product, works well

The first time I ordered this item the box was demolished upon arrival. I opened it along with my UPS driver only to find all the hardware, pins, and chain were missing. So I returned it to get another one. The second box was in much better shape. I started putting it together only to find the short bracket that secures the long vertical bracket to the top of the 3pt hitch was not included in the package. Wasted a bunch of my time dealing with this only to be put back further on getting firewood put up. Majorly disappointed.

So far so good easy assembly seems ridged added a bit of welding at the noted fail point to make it little better should work to pull 8ft logs out of the woods with!

This item is worth the buy. Even though it is bolted together and the bolt my break. Weld it together and it is stout! You can lift anything if your brave enough. Logs, stumps, broke down equipment, fat women, rocks and even pipe. It is worth the buy

I liked the sturdiness of the log skidding lift.

3-4 star product. Built pretty rugged. Welds are pretty good. Haven’t tried it pulling wood yet but will do job. Fit and finish was my only issue. Top link set little crooked but it will work. Chain is little small but I’ll try it first before upsizing. Can use it to move trailers with ball but need to dissemble which was negative and positive sense it didn’t say it in the add
