ABSTRACT:
A log skidder apparatus includes a frame provided with pivotal attachment points for the reception of the three point hitch components of a tractor. One of the frame carried attachment points is coupled to a hydraulic cylinder for imparting tilting movement to the frame to lift and advance the end of a log being transported into abutment with the frame. A truss of the frame carries a grapple assembly. An upright shaft is journalled in the truss and carries the grapple assembly with the shaft having an arm thereon biased by a spring urging the assembly to a predetermined position to facilitate grapple engagement with a log end. The frame is equpped with plates to confine the log end against displacement from the frame.
