found below video. Thought it might spark an idea on how to load things in a unique non hydraulic or winch way. Could see this done safer by loading logs onto a trailer next to the wheel . Also could see putting a system to shock load the arm for the down portion would be beneficial. Using both wheels for an A-Frame set up would be smarter. Power off one wheel and opposite side is on a hub

Looks to me like it would work just fine, if you don't care about your equipment or your health or anyone else's!

But then is some countries they start their tractors with their PTO, saves on batteries.

In areas in Russia they remove their windshield wipers from vehicles when not in use because they are difficult to get and expensive.

I actually have seen a person try to use this method once. After several attempts to load the log and stalling the engine, they revved the motor up and dumped the clutch.:eek: Distroyed the cab, hood, radiator, grill and more. The operator had only minor injuies. Daron ism at work.:cool:
