It's just a simple A-frame welded from 2" square tube, with a hitch receiver mount welded to the bottom (handy for towing) and a grab hook welded to the middle post. I also have a wide lower plate which can attach to the receiver mount, but rarely use that.
I have some that's been outside for 10 years with no issues, so if it's going to rot it's happening very slow. It's very similar to red oak, not as good as white oak, but with some wax or oil it will do fine.
Happy New Year Jack. Strong work! I like your hydraulic top link. Can you tell me more about your skidding plate?

@@Lumber_Jack I haven’t come across one with the grab hook. It looks really well suited for skidding logs. I’d buy one if I could find one. Thank you.
Unfortunately beach is not durable outdoors and will rot immediately.
