years ago I had a heavy log sled built by a blacksmith from Nova Scotia who came down to work in the Boston ship yards and later the logging camps of the Berkshires and southern vt hilltowns and had a shop in Whitingham Vt Percy Dodge

the sled was similar in that it had chains on the outside of the front sled runners somewhat like yours and that is where you hooked your singletrees no evener

The the idea was to pull the load from under the point of weight of the butt end s of the loaded logs and the runners walked some what
used it for years and worked just fine not sure if yours is not some mast produced version with those cast bunk lifts

just saying maybe

not knowing how to post a new subject on this new forum setup I am posting here

the weather

seems like Irene allover again here

last night storm was so fierce and the lighting strikes so strong my farm is in shambles once again all barns pens and paddocks flooded sawdust being a commodity these days and hard to get makes clean up really hard

last night was like you see in a western movie here
I had what I can only call a stampede
all stock cows ,horses and young stock stampeded with a direct lightening strike they hit the high tensile wires so hard trying to get back to the barns

and in mass ripped three 6by 6 braced post out of the ground and torn down one side of a lane way with bar ways down about a 1/4 mile of fence

still raining here

on a positive note went to Guilford Fair yesterday and watched the ox pull called it right and missed the rain by about an hour was going to go today and watch horse pull
back to mucking out
