Now, that Lombard log hauler is one fascinating piece of equipment! Being born into a logging family, I know first hand of loggers' ingenuity, yet never heard of anything like that. But, one look and we can see just how reasonable, even obvious, it is.

That's just neat. Thanks.

Now that would make a great model!

That's gotta be the most funniest thing I've ever seen!
