Thread: Log tongs vs snug chain

Hey md, Have a length of wire rope somewhere.... Came on the winch and I got a second loop out on the other end to use as an extension, shall have a dog through the shed for it. Sounds like there is no major advantage of the log tongs in my situation

There is a Cooke's in invercargill I have used before if I run short on anything.

If you going to Cooke's get a proper chocker made up, I had one but sold it.

This is the shape of the hook for dragging logs by chain, as used behind bulldozer and chain don't slip off the log



This is the tongs I have, at a quick measure they would do up to 800mm, so you would need a far bigger set.
